Days 15& 16- All About Attitude
Attitude is everything! I had two workouts over the last two days and although they outlined the same intensity, my success with each workout was completely different. I attribute this to my BAD ATTITUDE! On day 15 I was pumped to meet Karrin at the gym, focused, and ready to dominate whatever workout she had prepared for me. Whereas yesterday, still planning to meet my little pregnant diva and follow her drill sergeant orders, my mental demeanor was just off. Attitude really does play a role, for me, on how successful I can be throughout the day, regardless of what I am doing. I am obviously even more irritated when it reflects in a poor workout and I only have myself to blame. I have so many things to be proud of right now and for some reason I am only focusing on my shortfalls. This change in attitude came after having a heart to heart with the hubs regarding his own insecurities with this program and how he feels that maybe all his hard work isn’t good enough. Underlying insecurities of my own came out, inadvertently, in that conversation that have brought me down. Even though I know I am doing the best that I can do, deep down it doesn’t seem good enough because someone else is doing so much better than I am….generating better results. Although I am beyond proud of her because she is a very close person in my life, I can’t seem to kick the fact that I am not doing as well. I have been encouraged by her and her amazing successes with this program and used that to motivate me to keep going. But now my motivation has seemed to turn to envy and jealousy because my body is not transforming the way hers is. This is in NO WAY a pity party, just keeping my promise to be open and honest and disclose my struggles to whoever might be reading this still. I am so appreciative of the support I am getting and am excited to approach my next workout with a better attitude.
