Work Harder!

Tonight's workout was hard!  My arms are so sore!  I was determined to put all my energy into it.  Sometimes I wonder if I put too much thought into an exercise instead of just doing it and see how I do.   

I was asked if it was horrible after I completed the WOD.  I said NO but it was hard.  Then the response from the coach was he wasn't pushing me hard enough.  HMMM... not real sure what to think of that statement.  He was pushing me but it does seem he's lightened up some lately.  Maybe it's my imagination. 

I do know I really want to learn to do the weight lifting workouts.  But I also know I have to work harder on those squats because I really suck at those.  My personal goal is to come home each night whether I've worked out or not and do at least 100 of them.  I have a stool I can use to make sure I go low enough and I'm going to work harder at doing them and instead of sitting down on the stool just touch it and come back up.  I'm going to learn to dig my heels in and keep my body straight and not lean over.  I'm going to get the hang of this.  I am going to do it.  And I will eventually not hear "squat lower".  While that will be a great satisfaction just getting these right will be the best reward to myself. 

What I do know is I'm just going to keep pushing myself harder whether he or the other trainers push me.  I have to rely on myself.  It does help to have someone pushing me to work harder but ultimately it's up to me. 

I AM GOING TO DO THIS!!!  There is no other option.
