6 Months, Day 15:
Middle of the week here and so far so good. Did lots of weights and the course forward and backward! Over and over again until I thought my arms were going to fall off. Our 5:30 platoon is staying strong , so far we are still a pretty big group. We were split up in 2 groups today again and we were against the wall doing lots of star jumpers (my favorite- the name for this exercise is just really cute!) But anyhow, we were partnered up and as one of us stayed doing some weights, the other person was running and running for 60 seconds. We did this non-stop and then after, we were running with the tire over our heads as we did walking lunges.. Yup, I think today I definitely lost a dress size as after I felt thinner just by doing all those exercises with the tires...Almost done with the week. In the meantime, I was really thinking about me and visualizing my goal - I know it may seem as if I am being single minded but I really think this is how all this will actually come to be. Below was a little motivational tear out I saw in a magazine..
Focus on What You Want ( think of the "goal")
Place your attention on what you want instead of the obstacles that stand in the way of you getting it. Obsessing over the tasks that you must perform only increases your dread towards doing them. It actually causes them to become bigger barriers to your success. Rather than looking at challenges and work in a negative light, instead focus on what you desire. Do the work with the desired outcome in mind. This will motivate you to do even the most mundane work with enthusiasm and excitement. When you focus on what you want then you are more willing to do whatever it takes to get it. With your attention fixated on your desired destination you see all work as a necessary means to an end. With a strong reason why you will be able to summon enough determination to pay to the price to have what you want.
See Your Desired Result (Visualize!)
You will see the necessary work in the proper light if you maintain a strong focus on your aspiration. When obstacles and unpleasant task stand in the way of what you want the best way to succeed is to take care of them as they come along. Do this with the assurance that each obstacle overcome and each task done moves you another step closer to what you want. When you take this approach you will be motivated to do the work so that you can experience your desired results.
