DAY 49 - WEIGH IN, BIOSIG, HEAD POP AND TRAINING NOTES

Week 7 has arrived, and I've lost another 1.5kg since last week. Coach OC went through showing me photos and unfortunately my head wouldn't let me see any difference at all. I then had a sudden wash of negative emotions when I went out to do my training, not only was the gym busy which never helps - but I became suddenly overwhelmed with a feeling of failure / not doing well enough / not changing enough physically / not training hard enough. I'm very much an obsessive perfectionist to add to all this so I feel failure twice as hard. I retreated to my car when I realised it was becoming too much, eventually Coach OC found me and helped ground me. Ultimately I was able to go back and train after a head unload and chat and OC really connecting with me. Once again I felt quite surprised just how well he was able to cope and handle me at what I consider to be my black place (which I imagine terrifies people) that I fall in to on occasion. Feel quite pleased with myself for actually getting back in and training from that state, especially when I was about to drive home and happily abandon all my things at the gym, as well as my approaching Coach OC afterwards to say thankyou properly and 'hug it out' as he put it ;-)
