Tracey The Conqueror- The Greatest- The Vanquisher... Well You Get The Picture.

So conqueror? brave warrior? They might be slight exaggerations. In fact, yes, I will admit, they are MAJOR exaggerations.

Some days I have found so difficult at the gym, but to be fair on myself after thirty two visits this year to the gym (having joined on the 4th of January this year and never having set foot in a gym prior) I have come a loooong way.

I remember my first day as though it was yesterday. I was scared. Very scared. And I built a lot of fear into it and surrounded it with the immense fear that was only going to escalate inside of me.

Escalate....

I HATE ESCALATORS WITH A VENGEANCE. That immense fear I just spoke about, multiply that by 100, I hate, hate, hate escalators.



As I write this, the photo you see above is even sending shivers down my spine.




 

I decided on a whim, that today was going to be the day that I conquered some fear (With many more fears to conquer along the way.)

I got on the elliptical machine today for the second time ever, how I didn't do an injury on my very first day at the gym when I fell off it is completely beyond me but the damage was done and the fear that surrounded me getting back on, all but consumed me... UNTIL TODAY. It was something about today that I decided to give it another go. I've been working hard on many other machines and have avoided the elliptical (which by the way, I have attempted to spell many different ways throughout this blog), like the plague.






                 

I have conquered many things this year and I think this is proof that with many more things to conquer, I can and I will, I told myself I could...




AND I DID.
