This has been a rough week for me at workout. We are half way through our workout week and I am sore and mentally drained. I have tried hard to find the positive.
At Monday's workout, I was surprised with a cg workout mat. I was shocked. The very first day I went to workout, Bethany partnered me with a workout buddy. This buddy slowed way down to show me what to do and encouraged me to keep going. She reminds me often that the workout is mine and that I need to do it at my pace.
Tuesday, we changed locations. I dreaded it all day. I don't really like change, especially sudden change. A bigger location means more space. More space means that Bethany has the space do do harder exercises. And she did just that. My legs hurt! We had to partner up...I hate partnering up, especially when the other person has to repeat their task until I complete mine. I am so slow (faster than I was a month ago, but still slow). My partner was one of the better campers. I felt horrible. I really tried to finish in a timely manner because I knew she was having to do the mat exercises while I was trying to finish the cardio.
Wednesday was not real easy. The workout is hard, but it is even more difficult to clear my head and focus on what Bethany is asking me to do. I had no idea that the stress in my personal life would play a part in working out, but it does.
The great thing about the folks that I workout with is that no matter how far fetched my goal seems to me, they support me. They believe in me, even when I do not believe in myself. They encourage me and challenge me.
I am slowly becoming a different person. One day at a time. Changing one habit at a time. Looking forward to what is ahead of me. Thankful for the folks that support me because the support helps.
