What I've Learned

The main thing I have learned about me from this program is that I do better when I have goals.

Before I had specific goals to meet, I found it very easy to believe that I didn't have time or energy to train at that moment. The moments would add up and soon I'd realized I had not trained outside of class for a week. Then, I would train really hard for a few days. Next, I'd start making excuses again. Too tired, too busy, too stressed. . .

Now, when I am tired, busy, or stressed, I have this goal hanging over me, and I have to be much more careful in deciding if I really am to busy, tired, or stressed.

The best part is, when I go ahead and get my training in on those days it helps me realize I'm not as busy as I thought, it makes me feel less tired, and it alleviates the stress.
