Today is launch day. It is so exciting to go live! Okay so what are we waiting for?
My name is EndorphinGirl™,
often nicknamed EGirl. Mostly I can be found in the
40-plus-something-age range but there are replicas of me
sprinkled amongst the millenials and post-enials (i.e., 29 to 39 age
range). And occasionally a teenager gets the EGirl kernel early on ... one particular case in point – Ms. Mia!
Well defined by Urban Dictionary in the pages prior . . .EndorphinGirl™
thrives on external forces that release those endorphins and help drive daily reality. For instance, last night EGirl’s regularly scheduled yoga class was like any other week, Julie, EGirl’s Yogi, was absent again. Argh! Julie changed EGirl’s life by introducing her to enjoyable Yoga. EGirl followed Julie every Monday night for almost 3 years. A true Julie groupie! Then Julie went on maternity leave. Okay so Julie’s absence is justified but still, EGirl misses Julie. Julie is guilty of making EGirl bendy and is one piece of the development of EGirl. You will learn about others.
Laura, another Yogi, though only EGirl's temporary Yogi, is
basically
filling in meanwhile. Laura is cool, but Julie just rocks it! The room
was packed with all-aged, sized Endorphin thrivers and strivers. A
lot
of pretzel stretching,one-leg standing,
down-dogging, and sun salutating unfolded (no put intended) as they do each week. . .along with the typical ‘bodily noises’, but no one ever laughs. (What’s up with that ?) EGirl is not mentioning
names but Binna we know you take the 'gas' prize most weeks!
The class always ends with a Shivasana, Namaste and a
clapping of hands for the Yogi! 60 minutes of pure Endorphin bliss bliss, pure happiness!
Today, Tuesday, in typical EGirl fashion, the day starts at 06.00
hours
on the Elliptical trainer at the gym. It's a 40-minutes-on-the-‘trainer’
day ...heart rate of 160 ...sweat rate of drenched ... and ...endorphin
rate off the charts. The heart and sweat rate easily defined, but
'what'? you ask is an endorphin rate?
Def.
Endorphin Rate (ERate)...not irate although without her endorphins this could happen...–
ERate is the rate at which an EGirl exerts herself during some form of exercise fashion to release endorphins to help set in motion a freakin awesome
day!
So from here on in, in addition to EndorphinGirl™'s
escapades, during the Tuesday and Friday endorphin scripting, EGirl will share ERate particulars. With that in mind, let's just say that an ERate between 167
and 197 is 'acceptable to freakin awesome'. Anything below and you may
as well stay in bed; anything beyond than you truly are a Superheroine!
Until Friday . . .keep on Endorphing!!!
