ALISON 1: My first small success.
I never in a million years thought I could do this. Last night, at kickboxing, the trainer asked us to get into pairs of two do each do these insane leg lifts for one full minute. For the first minute I stood as my sister did the lifts, I simply caught her feet and pushed them in different directions. I dreaded the minute ending because I knew I'd have to attempt this. I knew I wouldn't be able to get my feet off the ground, let alone have my legs be pushed in different directions and be able to pick them back up again. However, when the minute ended, and we switched places, I decided to give it my best shot.
Well guess what? I DID IT. For the full minute, I lifted my tree trunks for legs off the ground and my sister pushed them back down, time and time again. I had to stop two or three times for just a second, but I kept on going until the trainer said stop. I was SO proud of myself. My abs hurt like nothing else today, but I now know that there is one more thing I can do, that I never thought I could.
