Even when I'm exhausted...

I love how STS pushes me to do my workouts even when I'm exhausted and head achy, and low on sleep. I love that when I just suck it up and do it, it actually wakes me up, gets rid of the headache, and makes me wonder how I even thought I wasn't going to do my workout tonight.

Before STS on nights like this, I would have just told myself to take a break, but not with STS!

You too, huh?? I just wanna see what's next. I can't skip!! Last week I came down w/ the stomach flu Mon afternoon, and once I felt a bit better that eve, I seriously contemplated doing disc 7. I made myself skip it. I stayed home from work Tues still feeling kinda yucky, but got my disc 7 in that afternoon. (I didn't tell DH, though. Didn't want to get fussed at) It wasn't my best performance ever, but I did alright. I skipped the abs though.

I think we do it bc we can't help but know what Cathe is going to throw at us. If I'm tired but something like MM is on the schedule, I know what kind of work it is going to bring, so I can talk myself out of it. "Its haaaaaard, its heavvvvvvy, I'm tiiiiiiiiiiiired, I've done this before, one skip won't hurt"
Or cardio "My knees hurrrrrrrt, my back huuuuuurts, my shoe won't stay tied, I'm sleeeeeeeepy - I'll trip"

But STS is all fresh and shiny and new and I just can't help it. Heck, I know Cathe is going to torture me, but I want to know what she's going to do!

Exactly! I just love STS because every workout is new and there is absolutely no dread factor. Although I know it's going to kick my butt and make me moan and groan, I never miss a workout. You know what else I love about STS? I know how many reps are coming so I can use those heavy weights because you can do just about anything for 10 reps right? Not like many of Cathe's other workouts....you think you're done and then you get hit with those "nasty low ends" ha! I can give it everything I've got and be a puddle on the floor when I'm done. It's GREAT!

Dela: couldn't have said it better myself! I totally agree that M/W/F (or sometimes Saturday) are reserved for my STS, no matter how I feel, or what my day was like! this was the whole appeal of STS for me though.. VARIETY!

Nan: had to LOL at your excuses! You must have heard my ESP messages those nights!

Tracy: I love that you only do each exercise ONCE (expept those pesky push ups!!!) I can do each exercise once, even if they aren't my favorite!
