I had TWO small victories today! Today, I jogged on the treadmill for a whole minute. Even my coach was surprised and happy for me. It was the last block on the tread before we had to hit the rower...and I was hurting, but determined to try. It was a one minute push followed by a one minute base. Instead of increasing my incline, I increased my speed to 4 and jogged for the whole minute. It hurt like crazy and I was huffing and puffing at the end, but VICTORY!
My second small victory I haven't accomplished yet...only the beginning of it. See, today was to be my last workout of the week as I'm traveling tomorrow and Thursday for work, and Friday my schedule is full of work calls. But something made me check to see if there was an OTF near my hotel...and sure enough...there is one about a block away! So I called to be put on the wait list for the 5:30am class. YES...5:30 IN THE MORNING! EASTERN TIME! I'm number 2 on the list, but was assured I'd have a spot.
I'm finally getting into the mindset that I WANT to workout. I WANT to be there. As much as it hurts...as much as it's hard...as much as it can be embarrassing...I WANT to get it done!
These small victories are keeping me motivated!!
