Yesterday at work, one of the engineering guys who I've been friends with for the last 2 years, really hurt my feelings by something he said during a meeting... I know he didn't intend for it to be hurtful, and i probably was just tired and sensitive... so, the whole day today, i've been trying to let it go, and move onward, because it's silly. but it's hard, and yet still silly... so, i ate some fries for lunch, and still was not over it... and then i went to the gym tonight... i vented to my trainer about the silliness, and how i was having a hard time just moving onward from it... and then she showed me the workout plan for the night...
We were going to do 5 stations: squats, bicep curls, crunches, chest presses, and mountain climbers. There would be 8 consecutive cycles of 20 second intervals, as many reps as you can do in the 20 seconds, 10 second rest in between. You against you... how ever many you can do, circle your lowest in the set, and in a few weeks we do it again, and see if i can beat my lowest number of reps. squats was hard, but doable. bicep curls harder, but i made it through... crunches: felt like crying in round 7, actual crying in round 8! (all i knew is that i had to get through at least 5 crunches for round 8 - made it!), chest press hard, but no tears, mild shaking muscles. Mountain Climbers: tears on round 4!! but made it all the way through round 8! was so sure i was going to throw up!
Anyways, in the end... i made it through all of the rounds, and didn't stop!! and i've never ever felt so exhausted and spent and so very proud of myself! that was being an athlete, not just working out... SO VERY HAPPY... :-) AND... officially over the hurt feelings too... Thank you Club Sport and Mia! i really needed that tonight!! so looking forward to starting the weekend!!
