In the Heat of the Night Tuesday

Talk about Hot and Humid...It was extremely hot and there was almost no ventilation in the aerobics room. I took the Hip-Hop Class which is always fun to do on a Tuesday Night but something was wrong...it was extremely hot and 15 minutes into the class, I had to change shirts due to the fact that my body was burning up and I needed some ventilation (I was wearing my short sleeved Adidas Soccer shirt and replaced it with my ventilated sleeveless muscle shirt)

I remember my body wanting to quit 45 minutes into the class and drinking alot of water but my mind told me not to...it was a matter of endurance for me.

As I started the next class(Circuit Training), I was watching loads of sweat dripping on the floor...I had already committed to the class and it was all HEART that drove me to finish it. There was a couple of times where I just wanted to say, "Quit"...but I would not give in. I just stopped for a second...got a really short breather, and drank more water to re-hydrate myself, and got back on the floor....it was a "Battle of Wills" for me and there was no way in hell, I was gonna lose.

As I got home, I felt like I just went 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali (in his prime)and my whole body was spent...my arms, my abdominals, my legs...everywhere on my body felt the fatigued.

Did I over push myself tonight...I might have, but then again, probably not. I didn't quit on myself and to me, that's important. I won a pyschological edge on myself tonight and I'm guessing that if I want to achieve my goals in life...I have to "Just Do It".
