I experienced two things today that made me feel amazingly strong.
1. You know those windows in classrooms and on buses that are insanely hard to open and close because you have to pull in the tabby things? Well, today in class some people couldn't shut a window. Someone said "Sarah is strong she can do it" and I just kind of looked at them. I said I'd try it. I walked over and it took me barely any time to shut the window. It made me feel awesome because they couldn't shut it, and I remember as a kid being unable to open and shut those windows.
2. I was at home and my mom was on the couch next to the dog. I charged at the dog and started goofing around with her when my mom said "pick her up!" as a joke. I haven't been able to pick her up since she was a puppy, and she is a full-grown lab now. So naturally, effortlessly, I picked her up. I wasn't expecting to be successful picking her up because I remember about 4 months ago trying to pick her up and being unable to. Later, I decided to pick her up again and weigh her. So I did, and she weights 79lbs. This makes sense because sometimes at the gym I walk around with a 90lb barbell to do deadlifts with, which is essentially lifting it up and putting it down (not quite, but you catch my drift). So this made me feel amazing too.
This is a picture of my dog, Sadie from about 2 years ago. She is a chocolate lab. She is considered overweight, and is probably 5lbs lighter in this picture than she is now. But ain't she cute ;).
Have you ever experienced something like this where you have noticed an extreme difference in strength, agility, speed, etc.?
