Day 6: Remember why

Today is day six of a 21 day challenge that I am taking part of with GPF. I have decided that as part of this challenge I am going to blog about my goals and how my day turned out.

Day 6: Start (or possibly finish) the 3 hat order for my aunt.

My alarm went off at 6:00am and my original thought was 'why is my alarm going off so early on a Saturday? Until I looked at my alram and saw it labeled "Aqua Zumba" {score? It was only Saturday} Up and at it to get to the Y for 7am class. I had a great turnout again and it was a great way to start my day. Following aqua I headed over to Tabata and Zumba with A, {see sweetie selfie below} even if I did burpees on my day off! 

The only thing that annoyed me was my frustration with myself. After a lot of hard work this week the scale didn't move in the direction I wanted it to, and made me feel horrible. In Tabata I struggled with some push-ups and the words 'I can't' came out of my mouth. I haven't said those words in forever when working out- they don't belong in my dictionary, and the second they came out I felt tears in the corners of my eyes. I am not one to give up. I don't quit. After being helped with a modification my brain was quickly giving myself a pep talk. 

Don't quit. Keep going. You are working so hard. You are more than just the number on the scale. You chose your health. You chose happiness. You chose to take your life back. You're doing it for yourself. You're doing it because you like it. You like the feeling of pure exhaustion. You like pushing yourself. One day you will be able to do it and will look back on this and see how far you have come. You can do it. Just a little bit longer. Push a little bit harder. Love Yourself.

By the end of taking two classes {see yesterdays post about why this is so important} It was off for the remainder of the days plans. No rest for the weary (and I was defiantly feeling weary this morning) as I rushed to pick up someone needing a ride to my IORG meeting, home to shower and off to the meeting. Everything at the meeting went fine and after dropping off 3 people, it was home to tackle my goal.

After 4 days of no knitting it felt great to be at it again. I am so glad that I had given my hands a rest.  

Best part of this was skyping my with my niece for over an hour. I can't believe that she is walking around. She grabbed the iPad ad, because walking is still new, took to crawling and pushing the iPad around on the floor. I requested measurements of her head so that a new hat could be made for this year and her father took measurements {he didn't use a tape measure per-say...} I told them that she would be next on the list... so of course... day 6 goal- completed, because 'lil duckies new hat needed to be completed. OMG I thought I was in love with the 3 I made for my aunts nieces... just wait until I can reveal what my nieces hat looks like!

Now the question is... do I start a new project... or enjoy Netflix for the remainder of the evening...
