Will Win this Battle!

This morning I got to go work on doing squats and standing up on that 20 inch box.  At least I know the coach and me are on the same page of what I need to work on when he asked me what I wanted to do.

Those squats are still hard.  I need to quit leaning forward and start digging in my heels.  I felt like I was getting good at it a few times as I was trying not to pull on the bands for help.  I just have to keep working at it and get over that fear that I'm going to fall.  And if I do fall just say what the hell and get back up and try again. 

Now, stepping up on a box is an entirely different story.  Me and my mind had a serious chat with that box.  I got up on that box if I had the wall to lean to.  I tried without putting my hand out but never succeeded but I did succeed in the sense I got up on that box and just barely touching the wall. 

Then I got moved to standing on 3 45lb. weights.  When I got good at that without using anything to hold onto I got added a 25lb. weight.  My left leg is stronger than my right leg.  And how dare the coach notice that was the one I was using all the time - LOL!  And then I had to use my right leg ;-)  So I would step up on the weights a few times and feel my confidence gaining and then go over and try to step up on the box.  Never did it without help but I sure as heck tried.  I wanted to do it but I guess me and my mind will have to have a few more chats.  But I will win this battle!  I am more determined everyday!

Now, bring on the WOD of the day!
