It was a much better WOD tonight.  I really wasn't feeling it and had to dig deep for the strength and motivation to go.  I went all the way back to that first 5K and the struggles I went thru both physically and emotionally being out there all by myself and expecting everyone to be gone when I got back along with that fight to not give up.  I remembered my reasons for walking into the gym that first day.  Every day is not going to be easy and there are going to be days when I will just suck at the WOD.  That's when I need to remember I had never walked/run a 5K ever before and I finished.  It was worth it that day and every WOD since and the ones in the future are just as worth it.  I suck at squats and anytime we have a multitude of them to do I will always have to fight that humiliation and embarrassment I feel and remember I've chosen to walk thru those doors and make the lifestyle changes I want so desperately to achieve. 

 

So, it's time to just suck it up to squats and learn how to get low enough and do them right!!!

 

Tonight's WOD was harder than it looked.  I was tired after the back squats 5x5.  But I did it and even did more in my second round than I did the first.  I am so slow at burpees but eventually I have hope that I will improve and get better.
