Another Challenge

I was excited about this weeks physical challenge because I had some new DVDs I was hoping to try! I decided on one that used a resistance band, THIS one to be exact. I loved how you could increase and decrease the difficulty just by changing where your gripped on the band, it was also the first time I enjoyed doing arm workouts (which are by far my most hated thing... I can push my way through just about any other workout but hand me a set of hand weights and I am done!) so it was really cool for me to workout my arms without intense hatred seeping from me... Over all I really liked the workout, so this week's physical challenge was a success!

The emotional challenge I'm not really sure how I did, I didn't really get a chance to try it out. My husband regularly complements me and I readily accepted his complements but I had already been working on that, he pointed out to me a while a go that if a stranger was to complement me I would be thrilled and it would make my day (maybe week) but whenever he said something I would just shrug it off. Since that conversation I have made a real effort to really internalize his complements and give them the weight they deserve, so far so good in that area. This week has been slow going in the complement department so I couldn't really tryout the whole 'accept complements from other people' thing but other than that, the emotional challenge was good :)
