Suck it Up Buttercup ;-)

I was the only one at the gym this morning for the workout (WOD).  Jessica ended up being my very own personal trainer.  I always feel kind of guilty when I'm the only one there for the trainers but I'm told not to worry about it.  Am wondering if I workout on Thurs. night if going Friday mornings is too soon.  I know my knees and thighs feel very tight but wonder if it's from not stretching good enough or just plain working out.  I guess really I should quit whining and just get over it and deal with it.  Like they say, no pain - no gain!

I did write on the wall today even though I had hesitations about doing so.  I wrote "be able to stand on a box and do a pull up and not be scared to fall off".  Or something like that.  Everyone makes it look so easy and I really want to do the same.  I probably should have written get the squats right but maybe I'll add that another day. 

Then there's the whole know what the trainers are saying when they post the exercises of the day.  I get so confused and all these different images get in my head and I get lost.  I call it my snowflake moment.  I can only imagine how tired they get repeating things to me. 

But I will say the trainers seem to be enjoying increasing some weights on me :-).  Although last night's kettle ball was freakin' funny!  Even at that I feel like I should have been able to use the original one given to me.  Today I had more weights on my bar for something called push jerks.  I do believe she put 25lbs on each side.  It was tough but I did it. 

I took the tape off of my shins today.  I stopped by a sporting goods store and got some more in case I have the same thing happen tomorrow when I walk a 1 mile.  Not sure if they should be taped up before or not.  Guess I should have asked.  Just wasn't on my brain this morning.

I'm told I will get discouraged at some point but to push through it so I'm hoping I come back and read some of what I've written to get me remotivated if that happens.  Right now, it's just hard as hell but I do enjoy going and pushing myself.  Well, it does help when the trainers push me too.  Not so sure I should admit that but I think they know it.
