Day 87 : AVERAGE

Flu is still kicking my butt ;-(
Sore throat, blocked nose, fatigue...you name it, I got it.

I'm quite glad that I completed todays intense workout without bailing - there were definitely some moments where i was like "F*this, i'm going back to bed" but I eventually got thru all the sets. It took a lot of determination + convincing (my muscles) to get the mission complete.

Morning session of jumpropes, legs and shoulder fly's were a killer. Skips started off rough and only picked up the momentum after 5min or so. I wonder if floorjumps will ever get easier? Legs felt like jelly awkward so I jogged a little bit to shake it off. Evening session of shoulders and abs were more do-able, but abs till failure sets were not impressive at all. Not normal Shirley standards but i am feeling rather average to say the least. Only managed to get one date with Mike today-  would've like to have visited the gang before bed but I am spent...

Ps. Sorry for the lack of enthusiasm in this post. Hope to wake up to sunny skies tomorrow. Signing out with some happy quotes that inspires me ::

(((THREE DAYS)))






A Creed To Live By - Nancye V. Sims

Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each one of us is special.
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.
Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid to admit you are less than perfect.
It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly.
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope.
To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been
But also where you are going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the way.

  2. Good job persevering while feeling run down! Trust me, the same thoughts entered my mind during the workout and I'm not even sick (knock on wood).

    So close!!

  3. If you can do this now, think how unstoppable you're going to be post PCP without the strain of 86 days behind you.

    I absolutely love the quotes! The creativity one was my favourite, but the Dance/Love/Sing is also fabulous.

    Gambatte Shirley! Hopefully the thing from Japan will arrive soon...
