Today I had a bad workout. Every so often a workout pisses me off and I just can't get myself mentally over it. This morning was one of those days for me. This morning started off with teaching my spin class then I hurried to the 360 fit class. Today's WOD was 5 wall walks, 10 cleans, 15 pull-ups and 20 double unders. 10 rounds with a 40 minute cut off.
I normally use 25 lb dumbbells for my weights but today there weren't any left so I grabbed 30 lbs. The difference between 25 and 30 was just too much for me mentally today and by the middle of my first round of cleans I was ready to quit and holding back tears of frustration. More than once I dropped the weights and didn't want to pick them up again. I was mad at myself for feeling like that and even more mad at myself for not being able to just buck up and do it. But I didn't quit. I just kept on going for the entire 40 minutes. I finished 4 full rounds and part of a 5th.
Usually when I finish a hard workout I feel satisfaction in what I made myself do and know it is making me stronger. Today that wasn't the case. I was still upset and couldn't get over it. Lucky for me I have the best workout partner in the world and she knows me well enough to know just how crazy in the head I am and sent me a text with this image that said "And this morning, you didn't!"
I'm over it now and back in my happy world. Another day brings another chance for a great workout.
XOXO
