Steadfast

My 30 Day Goal is:
Lose at least 8lbs.

Current Thought:
Extremely hot to be ringing yesterday morning. Within half an hour of the peal attempt, I could feel the sweat dripping down the back of my neck. We rang for nearly 2hrs before the attempt came to grief as 2 of the ringers got in a muddle. We only had about half an hour left to go. Can’t win them all. Some of us went for a refreshing drink afterwards and pleasant chat in the pub garden to cool off. Back home and we both had a short nap after some lunch. I started to practice some of the methods I need to refresh on for today. Some came easier than others. Into town for ringing to mark the 80th anniversary of VJDay. Nice little walk, some easy ringing and a walk back in the cooler evening. Then rested for the remainder of the night.

Current Emotion
Steadfast.

Todays Standard:
I am a woman who:
is determined to do well ringing 5 spliced surprise major methods for the first time this afternoon. Will attack the new body coach cycle with renewed vigour and gusto.

Todays Sweet Spot:
I think:
I will practice each method several times, as well as a spliced touch C has loaded into Abel for me. I will check in to the new cycle first thing and immediately try a new workout. I will not be disappointed by the measurements if they do not show much improvement.

I feel:
I really need to commit to learning and pushing myself harder for ringing experiences, and during workouts. I can ring some of these things when I put my mind to it, and do some of the moves, but bail out all to early or opt for an easier move. I’m never going to be able to do them if I don’t keep trying.

I do:
1) (body) new cycle workout first thing. Quarter peal attempt later.
2) (mind) focus on learning the methods properly and working out how they splice together.
3) (soul) don’t get downhearted if the check in figures aren’t good, or the workout is hard, or the ringing doesn’t go. Try my best.

Future Self Pep Talk:
I am still letting go of my stuff and feel lighter every day.

Celebrations/Gratitudes:
Despite being very hot yesterday, it was a pleasant morning, with chat and drinks afterwards. I drank a whole jug of water to myself. The rest of the day was quite chilled.
