Awesome... completely awesome

Hey guys... I just got home from the gym. I wasn't working with Holly today, so it was just me. I had the most amazing work out ever. I can not believe how incredible it was. I got to the gym as 12:00... I left the gym as 2:45 and I was going hard the whole time I was there. I got to the gym and started on the bike. I did 10 miles, it took me 43.4 minutes to do it. I averaged a level 5.7, but I went anywhere from 4 to 9. My heart rate was 123. After that I went down the the machine area. I stretched out real good and then got started. I did the ab machine first.... and I did... TEN sets of FIFTY reps... uh huh... 500 reps on the thing, at 55 lbs. When I started working out, 2 months ago, I could barely do 3 sets of 25. A month ago Holly increased my reps to 4 sets of 25 and I jokingly said if i keep up this pace in a month, I'll be doing 500 reps. Little did I know... I really would. It was amazing. My abs are burning good, but it feels great. So then I did steps. I did 4 sets of 25 on them. That was the least I did of anything, but they are very challenging for me. After those I went to the bicep curl machine, I did 4 sets of 50 at 20 pounds. So while I was on the bicep machine, I was looking around the room at the other machines. Shortly after I started at the gym, my original trainer left, and I worked with one of the guys that works there one day. I was doing the shoulder press machine, and was really struggling, and he laughed at me because I couldn't do it. I have not been back on that machine since. I couldn't bring myself to do it. Every time I would look at it, I heard him laughing at me. So today, I decided it was time. He had held me back too long already. I did it today. I had at 20 pounds. And I did 2 sets of 50, And 2 sets of 25, and the last 50 I had to do in sets of 10.... but I did the 200 reps that I was doing on all the machines today. I got of that machine and I was crying. I had done it. And it hurt very bad, but I finished. It was a huge accomplishment for me, before if something had bothered me like that, I probably never would have done it again. And I not only overcame the fear of that machine, and the horror of what happened that day 2 months ago. But I moved past the ability to just forget about things that have given me trouble before. After I stopped crying, I finished up on the triceps machine. I did pounds on that one. I did one set of 50, and one set of 150. If I didn't have class tonight, I could have, and would have stayed a lot longer. It was just amazing. I can't believe how far I have come in so short a time period. Someone once told me they expected great things out of me. At the time, I had a hard time imagining I would ever really get to greatness. Now, I fully believe I WILL achieve greatness. Occasionally I do it now. Today was a day for greatness. I feel like I could conquer the world right now. Every time I get like this, the more I want every day to be like this. Life is just so amazing. And every day is a new adventure, because every day I change in some way, and right now there is no limit to what I can do in life. The only thing that can stop me anymore, is me... and if I can keep this attitude, that won't be possible either.
