Special post.
I failed. Big time. And it's awesome. Here's why. Today I tried to work through a body weight workout in a book that I have: You Are You Own Gym by Mark Lauren. It's the same workout that I tried about a year and a half ago. I remember being sore from it, but I completed it with no problem last time.
Tonight was different. I barely made it half way through the workout. My muscles are so weak. I am so out of shape. I am discouraged, but you know what? I didn't let myself down. I'm not scared. I tried it and I failed.
So instead of harping on myself for letting myself get this out of shape, I am encouraged to try again. I am going to let my muscles heal. I bet I am going to be experiencing some DOMS (delayed onset muscle sorness) tomorrow or thurs. Some ice and some stretching should help.
Tomorrow I will run then work out some other muscles from a workout in this book. It's going to suck. But thats okay. Next week when I try this same workout, I will be slightly better. Maybe I won't physically notice an improvement, but I sure feel a mental improvement already.
