Death by Power Sculpt

I did something scary; something new.

My friends forced me to go to Power Sculpt yesterday.  I seriously was so scared I almost cried. I know that sounds so stupid- but it's true!  I hate trying new things sometimes- especially when I'm with my friends.  Of course I didn't actually admit I was scared- instead I kept trying to tell them I didn't feel well and I couldn't go.  They didn't listen; they just started chanting VE-GAS! VE-GAS! VE-GAS!  It was awful.

First of all- they made me run to the gym.  In their defense- they ran too.  I should probably mention here that the gym is only about a mile from my house.  But still!  Then, once we got there, they made me take somewhat heavy weights so that I would actually get a work out.  Oh I got a work out.  That class was one of the most intense things I've ever done and I am NOT kidding.  I am sitting here with a hot pack on right now.

But on the other hand, I love it.  I love that I worked out so hard!  I love that I conquered my fear.  It was fun and even though I'm sore, I feel fabulous.

What is your fear?  And how do you plan to conquer it??

  3. I could actually hear VE-GAS, VE-GAS, VE-GAS when I read that!

    Although you would never catch me in a gym, it sounds like fun. I'm glad your friends made you do it, aren't you?
