Yesterday I did not love my workout. I did it, but I was tired and my heart wasn't in it. Today I worked my butt off but it made me feel energized! I was pumped up when I left MMA, and we went straight to the gym to run. Couch to 5K week 5 day 2. No problem. Then I did abs. Then the elliptical.
Some days are better than others. Sometimes I just don't feel like doing it but I do anyway. I know I'll feel worse if I don't. But then some days I love every bead of sweat on my brow and I can't wait to do more. I wish they were all days like that.
My sister Sam and I have decided to go to mixed martial arts fitness twice a week. I got a 10 session punch card but if we're going to go that often I'll just buy a membership. It would be a lot cheaper in the long run.
Speaking of my sister, having a workout buddy is awesome and we really push each other to do better. She will not let me stop before I've finished all of my reps. No matter how tired I am. It makes me work harder. And she pushed herself harder because she is competitive and she can't have her little sister beat her at something. I'm pretty lucky to have her. Today her daughter even came with us to MMA. She did awesome and I'm pretty sure she'll be going back. Punching things is a great workout and it's pretty fun.
Next week we're going to go check out a combat fitness class from Union Street Athletics. It sounds interesting and they offer a free pass. I'll try just about any workout that offers a free class. I'll let you know how it goes.
