This challenge was not hard
Until . the last week
I wanted so much to pretend that I didn’t care and allow myself to back out :
my ego: so compelling : so powerful : so sweet talking
But. I am smarter now : Thankyou everyone :
I fought and finished. And now ! The fun begins .

First of all, can I say how awesome it is to see everyone’s boards! I’m so impressed with everyone!
This challenge was a practice in being flexible for me. I didn’t complete nearly as many days as I usually do. As an educator, I had the summer off, and this year decided to spend it traveling to visit friends I hadn’t seen in a while for a good portion of it. My fiancé and I are also planning a little backyard wedding/elopement for October, and so I really had to challenge myself to accept that I wasn’t going to “finish” this challenge completing a full 60 days. Other things take priority sometimes, and that’s ok! I still made space for myself and completed what I could. For all my type-A over achievers, I just want to let you all know that I totally see you, and know how hard it is to “let go.” I’m proud of everyone here… made it to 42 days which overall ain’t bad! Sending everyone love, especially my educator friends headed back to the classroom! Here we go! ❤️
I am so sad we’ve reached the end but so proud of us all!!! I love these challenges, especially for the daily activities. They keep me so mindful when going about my day. Especially on days I can’t get to the mat, the activities are so helpful for my body and spirit! I had to save Barbie for last, it was my absolutely fave and I feel so powerful finishing with Barbie power. This challenge came at such a beautiful time wirh that movie coming out, and a lot of changes going on in my life. This one I will always remember and I’m a little emotional that this chapter of summer is closing (but excited to open the next ❤️)
I loved doing the challenge in the summer! 🥰My goal was 60/60 workouts, but I’ve had lower energy this past week so I respected and listened to my body and took some extra rest days and opted for some shorter classes so I’m coming in at 58/60! Congrats to everyone who worked towards their goals this summer!!! I can’t wait to go back to some of these new classes!! Last Saturday’s Detox sweat was one of my favs!!!
Thrilled to say that this is the first EVER M/Body challenge where I’ve hit my original goal within the challenge period (woohoo!). I completed 45 workouts (something I didn’t think I would hit because I didn’t do any “formal” workouts during a 6-day vacation) and 48 wellness activities. And it all happened without fatiguing or stressing my body. Over time, I’ve made regular workouts a real habit (I try to work out 4-5 days a week and add in as much extra walking as I can), but this challenge was confirmation of just how much this habit has been incorporated into my life, and to how well I’ve been able to listen to my body and what it needs. One day I felt that I needed to “relax”, for instance, but realized I needed movement to do that: so I did a gentle yoga class, which was exactly what I needed. It’s these little things that show me just how much movement has entered my life, and how grateful I am to have turned a priority into a healthy need (all with the help of M/Body and this amazing community, of course). Feeling really proud!

Last challenge, I completed 49/60. This time, I beat it and did 50/60, even w no air conditioning, a 2 week vacation and a full time job!
But prioritizing movement has been the key to my mental health this year and I will continue to do so.
Grateful for this platform and how I always feel like $1,000,000 after the workouts.
See you soon for the live!

This summer had been filled with growth to which I am so happy I committed to completing this challenge. I realized that I can do hard things and that even during hard times I can embrace the joyful moments. ✨️
