Mentally tough... road to physically fit

The first 2 weeks of Boot Camp Regina have been fun and challenging so far. We've had some rain, some sun and some puking. We had our first puker this past Monday and I am always impressed by this. I have always maintained, due to my experience, that throwing up during a workout is a testament to the hard work someone puts into that workout.
Most people don't have the capacity or fortitude to push themselves into that realm. And when they do, it's a huge step in the right direction. We have to remind ourselves that getting our hands a little dirty, or in this case, our shoes and the grass a little dirty, is necessary in order to make strides and bounds in our fitness journey and is NOTHING to be ashamed of. It's admirable to complete a workout when that workout has basically kicked you in the stomach and has almost convinced you that it has won the battle of the day. Good thing for your perseverance...
