Last night I had a shift in my mindset. My workout was called 'Nicole' which involved 20 min AMRAP 400 m run and pull-ups to failure. By my third round of 400 m I wanted to walk rather than run, my lungs were in my throat and I wanted to back off but I put my head down and pushed on. My running was the Cliffy Young Shuffle but at least I didn't give in. I'm bloody proud of my workout last night, I didn't do the most reps nor did I run the fastest but I kept going and it felt awesome :-)

Hello fellow Cliff Young Shuffler. LOL. If it worked for Cliff ....... :-)
What a great shift in your thinking Mich. Sometimes the hardest work we do is getting our thinking right (maybe)

Hmmph, I think I need to slap you. How dare you think you're not up to scratch?
I think you're awesome!
We all feel that way at times, Michelle. Sometimes a LOT of the time. That doesn't make it true. x
Please, please PLEASE take that damn captcha thingie off your comments. I've tried and failed to leave umpteen comments since Blogger changed it - I can't READ it 90% of the time. :( Fingers crossed this one works...
I didn't even realise I had that thingy on my comments. LOL! All good, I think I've taken it off now.
Michelle, I too go through this mind set as well, and as Magda said our mind can sometimes be the biggest challenge. I currently have a broken bone in my foot, less than 10 months since I had major knee surgery so you can imagine my mind is all over the place, but I too had a small window where I thought its all OK because I can still fit in my size 10 shorts hahaha! Getting my fitness back will be hard work but I'm going to face that when I get there!
Keep your chin up, you are doing awesome and I really admire your honesty on your blog!
Maryanne - that's no good about your foot and thanks :-)
