Have you ever had a day when you really just did NOT want to go to the gym? Well today was my day. My triceps and chest are still pretty sore. I had a rough time getting into my coat this morning. How do I stay motivated? This has been a question that I have asked myself for years, and why I failed at so many programs that I have done before. Not this time. I have a secret weapon to keep myself committed this time. Not one, but two people that know my schedule and keep me committed to what I am doing. Neither of these people would make me feel bad for failing or put me down for having a bad day and not showing up. What these two people WILL do is genuinely care if I miss a workout, check up on me, and remind me why I want to continue. They both want me to be successful.
I also learned a tough lesson tonight. While attempting to lift heavy weights overhead I will fail--DROP THE WEIGHT. This is not something that I am comfortable doing. Dropping the weight is a normal thing in a CrossFit gym. This is something that I need to get comfortable with as I get stronger. I am not really sure how to do this. Suggestions are welcome.
Tonights workout: Clean and jerks, sit ups and jumping lunges. It was worth going to the gym tonight, even if my legs are burning now. Thanks to all of you that read my blog and support me as well. It means so much to me!
