Shopping Penguin Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hello fellow Wooters! I'm new to the forum, and was drawn straight to the woot room because I think you are all fabulous and inspiring. So I thought I would share the small but AMAZING victory I had today. Long story short: Yoga is my favourite thing in the world, but I've been out of commission for over a year and when I started training again about a month ago I was weaker than a baby kitten and could barely handle most poses. I've improved a bit since then but it feels like it's been excruciatingly slow, and planking has been especially difficult. I had just gotten to the point where I was semi-comfortably managing 30 seconds on my knees, and tried to pep myself up by thinking "maybe today I can make it 40, and that will be great!" For some reason, today that thought just FRUSTRATED me incredibly, and so out of spite I just got up onto my toes. I made 60 seconds!!! I actually thought my body was going to shatter, and I wanted to cry, but it didn't, and I didn't, so the obvious conclusion to draw is that I AM INVINCIBLE!!! I applauded myself right there in the middle of the gym and have been walking around all day with the goofiest smile on my face. I can't believe how much I missed this feeling! I just want to add a blanket congratulations to everyone who's posted a woot here; I honestly want to reply to each and every thread, but, y'know, I don't want to be that creeper. Happy Holidays everyone! 1 Quote Level 0 GnomeStr 0 -- Dex 0 -- Sta 0 -- Con 0 -- Wis 0 -- Cha 0 Challenge 1 Link to comment

Lilith Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 That's absolutely great! Planks are really tough for me aswell, so I can definitely relate to that! And there are definitely going to be more Woots on the way! Just you wait and see! Also, you're not a creeper for saying yay you right? I mean, I'm not a creeper right? /creepsaway <3 Quote Level 7 Assassin Cat - Meow!
