DAY 24 OF 365: YOU NEED TO FAIL IN ORDER TO SUCCEED

So today JC told me that he specialized in failure. Pretty ironic since I was trying to succeed at this challenge and not fail. But he explained to me that in order for my body to rebuild the muscle I had to fail. That was the only way that we were going to build muscle and get my body back into shape. Boy did I fail today! JC handed me my ass on a silver platter. By the end of the workout I felt my legs and arms giving out. At one point I had to stop the workout because I started to have a muscles spasm. After about 5 minutes of stretching it out, I was back to my training. Now don’t get me wrong, I am sore and I hurt all over, but I have never felt better. I have more energy and I don’t tire as easily as I used too. I am starting to see a change in my arms and legs; a little more definition. Others say that they see a big difference, but I don’t yet. I think it is because I am more critical about what I want to achieve and I also see myself everyday. It also helps that I am eating allot healthier. I doubt that all the ice cream and junk food that I was filling my body with was helping.
So as I write this I am looking out the window at the mini blizzard that is occurring. It is only January 26th and we have had twice as much snow as we had last year. That means we have 3 more months of this weather. Now, I love the snow. Everyone loves a good snowball fight and sledding, but this is enough. I feel like there is a snowstorm every week. Well, I better invest in a dog sled team. I am probably going to need them to get into work. Ugh, I am now realizing that I meant to pick up snow boots after the last snowstorm. Yep, forgot about that. Looks like I will be making the trek in the snow in my pumas. I am sure that will be fun. Well, off to bed. Should be interesting going to work in the snow. Till tomorrow.

  1. As I am on day 36 of being sick with whatever cold or flu has come in to NYC I am envious of your energy level! I'm trying so hard to have detox juices and antioxidants (note to people: broccolini isn't easy to juice). But nonetheless this cold refuses to leave. I think a trip to Miami for some vitamin D and getting better cold-wise will help my motivation somewhat! But keep on trucking brother! It sounds like you are working hard!
