6 Months, Day 11:
Ok, well today was definatly better then yesterday as I wasn't late and our class grew in size by like 100%! I'm not sure what happened but we had 10 people in the class today. But, it was a major change in class dynamics as even though we were eventually split into two, since we weren't all as fast as we could have been, we had to build "the house." I know that may sound strange, but trust me even though it doesn't sound too difficult it really isn't that easy. Basically when you build a house everyone has to be next to each other and we all create a human tunnel where the last person goes through the tunnel and you are basically finished when you get to the first person that started. Wasn't fun as everyone has to hold themselves up for the entire duration that it takes for everyone to go through the tunnel. I can say, I felt like a little snake because you have to drag yourself through - no using your knees! We were timed and the first time through, we didn't make it so we had to do it all over again. At the end I had scraped elbows - but that was okay as those scars were earned! What I call, bootcamp battle scars. This session was different as even though we were there to exercise, I think today was definatley more of "metal training" as that house building sure tested all your focusing power. Speaking of focusing, I saw this really cool article in Men's Fitness Magazine (I don't look at the women magazines anymore as I find the guys magazine tell you more about building muscle - or at least that has been the impression I have gotten) Anyhow, it was a little article that is not only motivating but also quite informative regarding getting your mind "in the game" so to speak when you are exercising. It was really cool reading.
Men's Fitness Magazine Article:
"Productivity and time go hand in hand. you must use your time wisely because you can never buy time back. Every minute you wait, every minute you procrastinate, every minute you decide to sit out is minutes wasted from the end result. Inception is the beginning piece to your life. Action is necessary, but giving it your all in each task is what will provide you with success. What are you going to do but more importantly, how are you going to do it?....mistakes are a part of life but mistakes are needed to get past all our mental barriers."
A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug."
