A gymbunny, I will be

MONDAY

Lately, I am been feeling frustrated at my effort at gym. On occasion, I feel as if I have regressed in terms of how much I have done and how much I can do. At today’s sesh, I had tremendous difficulty lifting a weight that I accomplished with relative ease three weeks prior. Even though I have been out of gym action two weeks in a row and had a new manicure in tow, I was still in disbelief at how tough it was.

Immediately, my head went to the "excuses, excuses, excuses" bin. Oh, it could be my manicure, it HAS to be my loss of muscle with being in HK coupled with being ill. As it turned out, it was my gloves. E had the experience to get me to attempt it without gloves. It was hindering me from getting a decent grip. For the love of whey, I could not lift the weight without having it slip through my palms past my gorgeous gel nails!

It saved me from a potentially demoralising situation. Absolutely detest how the mind works, so quick to put one’s self down. On Thursday, D2 encouraged me to beat my previous burpee record even by one and I did. My mind needs to learn not to give up as easily and push even though I don’t want to.

No more excuses. I want to push my weight loss out the window by working out harder and eating my absolute best!

EJ changed up the regular routine just as I was beginning to like it.
