Thoughts

Managed to get myself to the gym and try something different.  There was a workout that I saw on the internet that was interval training and I wanted to try it for ages.  I was scared of it because it had inclines that looked super scary.

So I broke it down.  I decided to do it without inclines.  Just run it straight to see if I could do it.  And I did!!

Granted, I dragged myself during the sprints but as I continue to do this I will get better and stronger and I will defeat this.

I get frustrated sometimes.  Especially in work.  My job is stressful, rewarding but stressful.  I go home a lot of days in tears, with a sore stomach, I have sleepless nights with this because I am fighting for my living.

This is a different fight. It's for my health, my sanity and my inner peace.  for the body that I have always wanted.  For my confidence.  For my inner strength.  This is a fight for my life.

This fight too has provided tears, sleepless nights, scars, stress, and moments where I question my sanity, strength and mind.

I know that this is doable.  I know that I will succeed.  It's about strength of mind and that is what I need most of all.

  1. It's good to mix it up ever so often. It doesn't let your body get into a routine. Good on you hanging in there to the gym routine!!!
