Today was a tough workout and I must be honest, I was highly
frustrated with myself. I feel this WOD
should have taken me around the 30 minute mark to complete, but instead it took
me 49 minutes. During the workout I felt
weak, overheated and nauseated. When I
got home after my WOD, I played it over and over in my head trying to figure
out why this WOD was so hard for me. Why
I felt the way I felt. Why it took me so
long to finish. As I dug through my mind,
I realized what I was doing. I wasn’t
searching for answers; I was searching for excuses…a bad habit that I am still
working on breaking.
In my professional life, when a problem arises, my first reaction
is to identify a resolution quickly and efficiently. Once the issue is resolved, I can then spare
the time to identify why it happened to ensure it doesn’t happen again. I am going to apply this same tactic with my
body as its performance today was seriously slackin. We all know our own bodies very well, and I
admit I don’t always listen to it. I
feel that my body is telling me more fish in my diet is vital right now. I truly believe this will help my muscles and
energy, all the while increasing my iron levels which I feel is really low
right now. Granted, I take fish oil and vitamins
every day, but I think I need more.
As frustrated as I was with myself and my performance today,
I am so thankful for my trainer who took the time to flutter kick with me. This helped push me my last round of the WOD
today. I was getting increasingly mad at
myself to the point that negative energy started to take over my workout. Yet, she jumped in and relit that motivation. For that I am thankful!
Another crossfitter noticed my struggle and said something
that I think is very true. I told him
how I felt and he said it was the weakness leaving the body. I like this! I think using this will help refocus my mind during my workouts. Working out the weakness for me applies both mentally
and physically, something I am eager to get rid of. Tomorrow WOD….me and you!
Weakness leaving the body,
