I’m a pretty stubborn person. I hate the idea of not being able to do something. Especially hate not being able to do something because of physical limitations. I know that I can’t do a pull-up yet despite trying a lot, but my lack of ability right now only gives me DRIVE to work hard to achieve it. Some people say, oh I can’t, walk away, and then never try again. They allow that initial defeat to be the final answer. I, on the other hand, will keep trying, training, fighting until I can. My thoughts usually are, “NO I don’t like that answer; I can change it.” We tell our children, you can be anything you want to be. Well, I believe that and more importantly, I believe in that for myself. I like when things are challenging because the reward is awesome, a true sense of victory. So I don’t give up on many things. I occasionally walk away from people because they make me feel bad and I deserve so much more but that’s honestly all that I can think of. Some people may conclude oh Jill you are young or you are physically fit or you have more time than I do but I worked my butt off (literally) to get to this point. Stop making excuses and start pushing yourself. I never gave up, still don’t. I could see progress, I celebrated it and then I kept going. Don’t stop. Workout Check In!! What did you do today? Let me hear from you. I went to the TRX suspension class this morning – it was awesome! I really needed it. Yes, I feel like I need to exercise & I need to sweat. It was too cold this morning so I didn’t run to class, I actually drove. Felt a little guilt doing it but cold is my nemesis. There were 3 of us in class this morning, me and 2 guys who were probably late 40’s early 50’s. They were trying to keep up with me Tonight, I have a bunch of chores to do around the house but once I get a little caught up, I will be moving. Abs, core and dancing. I’m signed up for 2 races this weekend so I won’t go crazy tonight.
