Fall 7, Stand 8

I think one of my problems, in general, is that I sometimes set goals a little high for myself and then I feel guilty when I don't achieve them.  Having said I was going to try to make it to 3 bootcamp sessions a week for 3 weeks, I managed only 2 this week again.  Realistically, when you have children, you have to be a bit logical with your commitments.  I am going to try again next week to make it to 3 but I suppose I need to try to change my mindset that if it doesn't happen for various reasons, then I have to be ok with that..... so I will try.

I did a Tuesday class in Blackrock this week, instead of my usual Thursday session.  It was a killer ladies and gentlement, we worked our legs to within an inch of their lives (having done the same to them the previous night - this session was really hard for me).  We worked our upper bodies too and that was also a killer. 

We did 30 seconds of squats, 30 seconds of lunges, 30 seconds of burpees.... We did this 3 times before we got a break (I think Paula, our instructor, should train the feckin' army because seriously, soldiers would have been f*cked after this!!!!).... We continued doing 3 sets of 30 second toning exercises for the ABS, 3 times (there really isn't anything else to say except F*CK!!!!).... 3 sets of 30 second toning exercises  for the upper body, 3 times (could not support my own body weight after the first 3 sets.  Ok, that's a lie, after the first set period haha...had serious issues with staying upright, continuously fell over almost breaking my nose at one stage).  Nonetheless, it was a great workout and I have been at one with the whole 'no pain, no gain' statement this week because it was a challenge to sit down, a challenge to stand up and a challenge to fall out of bed. Paula's class of pain was in full swing on Tuesday :0)

So, another week down and another week ahead of me, another chance to set the goals and another chance to achieve them.  Setbacks are not failures, they are just setbacks, so, as the saying goes, fall seven times, stand up eight :0)

Stay positive guys and gals and in case I don't see you, Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Good Night xxx
