Week 1 - Effort

This week I just put effort forth to reach my goals.  I hit most of them, I was only able to go to the gym 4 times, but I was super happy with my extra sleep and eating better.  I worked on some weaknesses as well this week which showed marked improvement.  Last night we had a female athlete meeting and I committed myself to the dream of regionals.  I've lived in this place of mediocrity for so long because it is safe and now I am scared.  Scared that the potential others see in me is not real and that I will let down this amazing group of ladies.  I'd rather fail then never know so here it goes.

Really good gym day.

I think the big take aways for week 2 are going to be sleep and time management.  I need to start building a routine to ensure I have enough time in the gym to complete the programmed workouts.  Also, I will need this to remain fun in the face of failure I need to remember why I have chosen to do this.
