Attitude Adjustments

Body Back Day 2: Completed!

This morning started off better than expected... I got up a few minutes earlier so that I didn't have to rush. Aaron made coffee, so I enjoyed a cup of coffee in the early morning quiet and it was great! I felt like it was going to be great.

However....

The workout was really HARD!!! I'm not sure if it was because it was 6AM or because I felt hungry or because it was just plain hard! We did "rounds" which means that we did sets of exercises - cardio, strength and core. There was definitely a point when I thought, I can't do this - I might just fall over and cry. I sort of got irritated with myself though because I thought, "I teach Jazzercise classes and I don't totally suck at that," but I definitely felt like I sucked at the workout this morning!!! It was rough. So during the meditation/relaxation part of the class I had a little heart to heart with myself... I realized that this is more about my attitude than anything else. I can go through the motions and participate in the program - but if I really want to get the most out of it then I'm going to have to put the most into it! So I had to make an adjustment....

After making one adjustment, why not make two! So I decided that I needed to also make an adjustment with my attitude toward work right now. So far I've been really irritated that they don't seem to be ready for us yet and so we can't really do anything. So I feel like I'm just wasting time and that there are other things I could/should be doing, but after today - no more! I have decided that it doesn't matter - if they are moving slow then it's their fault but I'm still getting paid for it, so whatever! :) 

So I feel like the journey really began for me today because today is the day that I made the decision to really do this! So today I was a lot less hungry than yesterday - and I think with more planning it will be even better! This weekend I'm looking forward to having time to plan and to get the groceries that I need to stick to this!

Here we go!
