Daily Reflection
Today was hard. I was sore, tired, and struggled to get up this morning. I just wanted to sleep and lounge all day like a kitten. I didn’t have time to walk the full 2 miles and figured I’d catch up during the day, but that didn’t happen because of back-to-back meetings.
CrossFit has a 3 days on, 1 day off schedule, and I can see why. Even though I’m not training at that level, I feel it—tired and sore. The 75 Hard is, well, hard—even with my modified approach, it’s still a challenge.
It’s tempting to step on the scale, but I’m afraid to. I don’t see any physical changes yet—my collarbones are still hidden, my arms still have chicken wings, and the tire around my waist doesn’t seem to be shrinking. But I remind myself that visible changes take about six weeks. Right now, I just have to keep going.
