Overcoming

I was thinking of writing a post on overcoming fear. But here's the thing, I haven't learned to do it yet. I am presently consumed with fear. My fear has to do with a woman named Brandi. I should tell you that I adore Brandi, trully adore her. But I also fear her, especially today!

Brandi is one of the personal trainers I've been working with, helping the Chief and I on our journey to good health. I've been going to her boot camp each week, and sometimes twice a week. I went this past Tuesday and it was so difficult for me. It was high intensity cardio for the entire hour and I struggled. And it was good for me, and I did more than I had been doing. And I wanted to throw up. And I couldn't breathe. But I finished it.

And I'm going to do it again today. And I will finish it. In the meantime, I'm filled with dread. But maybe that is part of learning to overcome fear. You feel the fear, you don't let it hold you back, you push through it, and then you are on the otherside. Until next Tuesday when the fear is back roaring it's head!

Pray for me!

P.S. Just wanted to say that I went to the class and gave it my all! Thanks to my friend, Michelle, who gave me a great pep talk an hour before the class when I was wavering again! It was worth it to go and get strong and challenge my fear!
