I got my butt kicked again with the WOD but it was a good one.  I like these that challenge me and push me. 

The warm up was hard.  The wall balls were not by best at all.  But I did try to squat lower even without having a ball under me. 

The walking lunges weren't as bad as I thought I was going to dread them.  I just need to learn to bend my back knee and walk forward with the other leg.  I was doing it backwards.  Once I do that I just need to learn to keep my balance and bring myself back up.  For the first time I felt like I will actually be able to learn how to do these. 

Now, the jump ropes are one of my biggest fears and when they came up today I felt my stomach just drop to the floor.  But I got to love the trainer as he just ignored the look on my face as he went through the warm up instructions.  I know the look was there.  But I got through the 60 jump ropes and even got up to 10 in a row once.  I was proud of those times where I got more than 2 in a row. 

Those thrusters got the better of me.  I never got low enough with the squats but I was trying so hard at the end.  I was disappointed but I was also proud of myself not to let that frustration get the best of me and kept trying. 

The runs were full of exhaustion.  I was so tired.  And that hill gets the best of me.  I did try to keep going especially on that 800 meters.  I was trying to continue to take big strides in my step when I wasn't running like the trainer told me to. 

But I left feeling good about what I did.  I'll just keep on trying harder and pushing myself harder. 

And I have 10 days behind me on this nutrition plan!  I sure hope I lose some weight with this or I might have to get some boxing gloves for me and that trainer because I'll be mad - LOL!  Although, he can kick my butt with those too.
