I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 62: Plyometrics
Today, I did the P90X Plyometrics workout. I've done this workout several times before, but for some reason, I had a difficult time doing the exercises this morning. It's a really intense workout.
Result: I wanted to give up about 20 minutes into it, not because I didn't want to do it, but rather because I didn't think I COULD do it. So instead of quitting completely (there was still 40 minutes left to the workout, and I was determined to do the whole hour), I let myself take a little longer water break, and I brought my intensity down. It's tough for me not to be judgmental of myself when I'm exercising, but I know that I truly did the best that I could. So I'm still proud of myself for doing this workout today.
