Day 66

I went to body conditioning tonight and it was really great. I had two successes tonight. First, when I was doing the jump squats. A jump squat is when you jump off the step and squat and then jump on the step and squat. Well I touched the step every time I jumped off the step to squat. That made them much more intense. I once had the hardest time completing the set. Also, tonight was the first time that I held a plank for a full minute without dropping. This is some serious progress. It’s true that taking a break between workouts makes you stronger. It’s also true that you can’t wait until you feel like working out because I’m not sure that feeling will ever come. You have to start off doing it and hating it until it becomes a habit. Exercise is now built into my life. I am so incredibly grateful. If I ever stop exercising because I didn’t feel like it, PLEASE remind me that this is necessary to my happiness.

Tomorrow I am going to my first spin class. I hope it’s easier than it looks. I will also track what I eat and wake up early to prepare lunch.

Quote of the day

"Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, and be weird. Go out and screw up! You’re going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human."

Anthony Robbins
