First Goal

So I recently made it to my first goal, 275 pounds. With this first goal I wanted to go zip lining at my local zoo. So today we went with some friends. I didn't realize the ropes course that went along with the zip line would be as mentally challenging as it was for me.

I did the practice course just fine. Of course it was only like 5 feet off the ground. 




 And then I did the wall climb and the first wooden slatted bridge.

But when it came to going any further, I had a mental breakdown. My arms were hurting, I was scared I was going to fall. I couldn't make that first step for a very long time. Once I was on the first log I completely freaked out. 


 You have to repel down if you get stuck on one of the courses, and then your time is over. 

At least I made a goal and stuck to it. I may have not made it through the ropes course but I am proud of myself for how far I did come.
