Fears be Gone!

Today was interesting but I had to face another fear.  I wasn't prepared for this one.  I should have been but it just wasn't on my radar.  It's called box jumps.  Well, I'm nowhere near box jumps so I get weights placed on the floor.  Out of nowhere here came all my fears of my foot surgeries.  I went into panic mode.  Oh yeah, the trainer just enjoys those moments - NOT!  I don't enjoy them either.  For once, I would have rather stood on all those boxes than to have to try to do jumps.  I've actually never been able to jump even as a kid.  I don't really know why but I can remember as a kid in recess it just wasn't something I could do.  But I know I would love to find a way for all those negative memories to be erased from my memory. 

I did at least graduate to doing knee pulls up by hanging on the bar.  I have no doubt they weren't very pretty but at least I tried and succeeded better at those than I did those box jumps. 

Kettle ball swings are just tiring.  I did check out the weight given to me (12lbs).  I wanted to know where to start next time and continue to add to them. 

I was told at one point I was looking at the coach as he was an alien.  Admittedly, I have my moments I probably think that ;-).  But in all seriousness, I was so focused on what exercise he was demonstrating and what he was saying.  I really need to learn to watch the look on my face.  I always get busted for the looks I give - LOL! 

I know one thing for sure... I have got to start putting more into these workouts and really focus on getting the squats right and now learn to jump.  I am trying but I need to try harder.  Or I will always be stuck with the scaled back workouts. 

I posted this yesterday on my FB page and I may have posted it also on my last blog but it's worth repeating:
It's all up to me on what all I accomplish in life. 
I am my own worst enemy but
I also need to be my own best friend!
