I'm getting my butt handed to me

February 09, 2012 8:29am

and not on a silver platter either! I don't know what it is about this week but I am feeling the push and I feel like I am having to push extra hard to get through my workouts. This week we have been doing "Mike's" special workouts which are one minute reps with no rest in-between. This workout is supposed to speed up metabolism and help start cutting. Man or man I feel it, I was actually getting mad at myself this morning because I didn't feel like I was working to what I know I can do. I was burning so I guess it was good.

I have read a lot of journals this week where it appears to me there is a lot of you feeling discouraged with yourself and I just want to remind you all to keep pushing through and remind yourself why you are in this and what your goals are. Keep your head up and today is a new day and smile smile smile =)

  I soooooo know how you feel this week!!! I feel like I have nothing in my tank this week. I think the 5am cardio workouts are starting to take effect. I figure my body will get used to it pretty soon. But, you and I are warriors and we are going to push through this week!!!!!!

  I've handed my own butt to myself this week - on a platter full of crackers and chocolate! Kill me, lol. Kudos to you for pushing through during the tough times! Just think ... you're climbing that hill ... in a couple days, you gotta come down the other side, right?! :)

  Thanks Angie more than anything I just want to know at the end of the day I did what what I know I am capable of doing and then pushing myself a little further! Have a good day!

  I agree! I am noticing we are all on an odd kick this week! I think Christina is right too, we have all been working as hard as we possibly can and may just be hitting a small speedbump. I have to keep telling myself to keep pushing and hope i get out of this "
  mood" soon! Keep it up Angie! you can get through it! have a great day and you smile too :)

  I think it’s just that time. Everyone was super pumped last month on starting their journey and we’ve all been pushing hard and seeing results and I think some of us have just gotten to that wall where we think it’s not happening fast enough or that we aren’t doing things perfectly (I know you read MY journal today!). We just have to remember it’s a lifelong process and we’ll have these “down” times, just don’t let them get the best of us!!! And thank you for your comment today!!
