New training. Day 2.

I dragged myself to the gym because just anticipating that it was going to be something new made me not want to go. There’s a guy who goes at the same time as we do—he’s a beast at lifting. I compare myself and feel ashamed of my weights, but I remind myself that we’re all different. This is me challenging myself. He is a completely different human being. I did the first part, hating it. Then the Clean and Jerk came, and I skipped it because I couldn’t watch the videos and my stress levels were through the roof. I’ll do that at home—record myself, practice, talk to the coach. I came out of the gym frustrated, raging: “I hate this training.” Again: TRUST THE PROCESS. Exciting and challenging times.
