Welcome to Mellie's mind...

Where thoughts can be funny, can race at all hours of the day and night and can sometimes not make any sense!

Enjoy the ride!

WOD 08 11 2014






I do NOT like to fail... I will keep at something over and over again until I get where I want to be or until there is no more left in me to give.  I have reached the point of having no more to give several times in many areas of my life over the years.  I have reached this point with conditioning my own body as well.  I find that if I walk  away for awhile and just allow my mind to clear I can allow myself to be able to let go of the nonsense in my head and start with a new dedication and focus.  This is where I am today with my body.  I have a new dedication to achieve what I need to achieve for MY goals. 

Yesterday it was hot in Oregon.  Not only was it hot it was humid like the Southern states get.  When I walked into that gym I was sweating just from the walk from my car to the door.  When I opened the door to the gym a wave of cool air hit me and I felt relieved to know the AC was working.  However, walking onto the weight room floor you could cut the humidity and heat with a knife it was so hot.  I stood there and for 30 seconds debated if I was going to workout or just go home and make it back the next day. 

At that very moment I heard these words in my mind:  "You don't get what you wish for, you get what you work for."

Here was my workout for that day of 08 11 2014
