For the Wellness activity today, I’m choosing two of the MANY favorite affirmations/mantras I’ve heard in M/BODY classes. This activity is not limited to Marnie mantras, but that’s what I’m posting today. 🙂

“Inhale what heals, exhale what hurts.”

171: “And I think it’s brave. I think it’s brave that in that space you get up in the morning. Even when your heart aches, even when life is messy and you don’t feel like being this soft for the world. And I think it’s brave that you continue to love, and express, and open your soul despite the way you were treated in moments in the past. And I think it’s brave that you keep going, that you keep believing in something more, something bigger. Even when you may not know what you’re hoping for yet. And I think it’s brave that you fight, you fight for what’s right. I think it’s brave that you choose every single day to move forward, because THAT is what makes you strong.”

I can’t wait to hear what Marnie, Danni, and the M/Body team have in the works! 😍

Hi Fam, just checking in because I feel like I’ve been a bit MIA lately. We went on a family vacation to Disneyland and Palm Springs but unfortunately both my kids got sick with colds, stomach bugs and ear infections while we were there. Then we finally get home and go to the dr who puts them both on antibiotics which has now given them horrible diarrhea which is worse than the cold and ear infections. I feel like we just can’t catch a break and everyone is looking to mom (and not dad) to make them feel better. It’s a lot!! My workouts have always been my time for self care and it’s been hard trying to stay sane right now. Send my fam some good healthy thoughts so we can all get back to normal soon!! Thanks for always being so supportive!!

It's wild how quickly they start copying moves!! Sunshine is only 1 year old and she does a little of each workout with me! Look at that little foot!

Oh my! I was smiling through the whole routine! I always end up doing Planksgiving on my birthday because of the holiday weekend and it is so rewarding even pre-recorded. I am so grateful for this fam ❤️

I did planksgiving only today. I was really missing the words at end, so close my eyes and imagine what Marnie will say... happily 😊 they shared here. I was so good to read that, and to be able to screenshot that too. So I can always come back to the beautiful reminder. I'm very thankfull for being part of this community, the workouts that are so fun, to Marnie and Danni that keep that going. And for the right amount of planks on that class! . Bisous !!! Je vous aime!

Hi! I had a bit of an unusual week. There was a pipe issue near my house, so we did not have water. I went to yoga midweek so that I could shower. I was tired after work but I reminded myself that I can exercise and then have a nice shower. On Thursday I got my flu vaccine and I started being quite tired after lunch. I toughed it out for the day and was exhausted when I got home. I slept and woke up feeling lousy. My boss suggested that I take the day to rest. I hesitated but I felt lousy so I followed his advice. I focussed on being lucky to have access to a free vaccine, free nurse care and working at a place that understands that rest is important. I now feel better and am delighted that I did not allow my anxiety to beat me. I am slowly getting ahead of the anxiety that stifled me last month.

My cruciate ligament in my left knee got torn apart last week while walking - yes WALKING, at the job.

Ript it off 1997 for the firsf time, got a replacement 2006 - now I have to start over again 😢 no more „shaking off“ the stress of the day with Marnie for months, no more “running it out“.

But hey - it could be worse - I will take what I can get out of our trainings together, still have a strong back left 💪🏼🙂

But I’m still partaking in the challenge. I’m grateful I’m able to have this holiday in the cutest little coastal town called Tenby. I haven’t been able to workout today, but there’s alwYs tomorrow! My fave mantra is “you don’t fall off/go off track. There is no track!”

Sending you all love ❤️
