In an effort to keep up the pace, I wrapped up the injured hand (from stabbing myself yesterday...ya,ya - it was stupid)and attempted to push some weights in the gym.

After the 3rd rep on the 1st set, I had to immediately drop the weight and resort to plan B : cardio. So I completed 20 min on the bike and 20 min on the treadmill. Total of 40 minutes cardio and an overall great workout burning approx. 350 calories.

So the lesson for the today is not to quit(or take a break) for any reason. Momentum is key... Even at this stage where I know I could easily take a day off, I'm still determined to complete the week with 5 workouts for the week and I'm only on day 2. Knowing that it's only my hand that is injured, does not give me the excuse to sit on the couch and sulk about it. If anything, this unfortunate and stupid injury, makes me feel even stronger (in the mind).

It is these defining moments of the journey that I'll reflect later on which proves that with a determined goal in mind, I can jump over any hurdle or overcome any obstacle. Today was just 1 example....and you can too...

This is why it's important to have a goal in mind when trying to persevere any task. Again, as I said when I completed my 1st journey, it start's with the mind...then the body....

Scheduled for tomorrow is cardio - 20 min only. It's HIIT, so it's gonna be intense...looking forward to it. :)
