It's a mind thang!

Okay so you know how your brain works to protect you... Well today I had a personal training session with my trainer Jay Altman, I need to just learn to check my brain in at the door!
I have been resting my knee for the past 4 days really taking it easy per my trainers request. Today he decides to have me run on the treadmill. What? are you kidding, not ready! Can I just say I battled with my brain for 5 minutes. It was awful! I trust my trainer, I know he is not going to have me do something that is going to further injure my knee but sometimes my brain just takes over! Okay who am I kidding my brain always takes over! Why is he ALWAYS right? He kept saying your knee is ready just try! But my brain kept saying NO IT'S NOT! Back and forth I went running and stopping and putting my feet aside, he would make me get going and I would stop again. Until I finally realized.... he is not going to let me off this treadmill until I do it! What the heck suck it up and run. I did it, I ran and even though it hurt a little bit I was able to do it and I didn't fall down, I didn't cause great injury, so far my knee has not blown up like a balloon. I survived!
So I guess my encouragement to those of you who are out there wanting to change but are afraid..... do more than try.....battle, battle and don't let yourself quit and if you can't hold yourself accountable find someone who will!
Happy Wednesday!
