First Week PT--DONE!!

Happy Monday,

We had our first week of PT with Dre and we all survived it! Again, the support from each other is invaluable. I just really keep thinking about Stephanie doing this by herself...

There's already a mixed bag of emotions and I can hardly keep it straight enough in my head to articulate my feelings. Today is a hard day. I'm not sure if it's a case of the Mondays or PMS or what. What I do know is my body is tired...already. I'm also emotionally drained in a way I don't quite understand yet. The thing is, although bootcamp is extremely challenging all the time, I've come to enjoy a certain sense of competence when it comes to the workouts. They're tough but I'm always confident I can complete them. That took a while and I like the fact that sense of accomplishment. These PT sessions, however, are an entirely different animal. They are foreign right now, and therefore, extremely difficult..to the point my form is off, I can't do all the reps well. This makes me very blue. Undoubtedly, I'll keep pushing and get it done but it kinda feels like mentally you've taken a step back with what you're able to do physically. I'm notoriously hard on myself and a case can be made that I'm "at it again" but I can't help it!

At any rate, I'm all in!! You'll have to carry me out on a stretcher to get me to stop *insert Jay Cutler joke here*....

Yes. I'm bitter about it...

Thx. Your blog was honest and inspirational. What you are experiencing now is what I experience every time I set foot in D3, my form is off and I cant often do the reps well (or at all!). But I still come to D3.
Push through it Karlisa..you"ve got this!
