Things I accomplished while I was sick this week

This literally was my life this past week

Remember how I said I was feeling crappy on Saturday which is why I couldn't get through my bootcamp workout? Turns out I had an upper respiratory infection but it turns out the cure (Prednisone) made me sicker than the infection. Therefore I ended up having to take the entire week off from work. Here is everything I accomplished during this week:

It's ok to admit defeat...temporarily

I have two favorite quotes:
(Full quotes at the end of the post)

"Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think" 

"There is a vast difference between failure and temporary defeat" 

The majority of the time if I'm struggling during a workout or run, I try to keep the first quote running through my head to keep me going. This weekend however, I found myself looking to the second one in an effort to make myself feel better. 

A little backstory:

My best friend Frannie and I recently started doing a bootcamp at the gym we're now going to, run by an amazing trainer named G.I. Jen. I haven't been going as often as Frannie has, either due to my schedule, conflicts with my training sessions with Andre' or because of my health. I was really excited all week though to go to this Saturday's bootcamp because I was planning on bringing my new GR1 and bricks with me. What's that, you ask?
