These are the classes that made up my 100 days. They wouldn’t post with my last post.

I notice that I often cross my arms as though I’m trying to either hide my body or maybe protect myself. I also do not have great posture and I notice I kind of cave/hunch into myself. My goal this week is to try and stay open, uncross my arms when I catch myself and keep my chin up, heart to the light💛😊

These past 2 weeks I have been grateful that:

1. I chose goals that were achievable as it has been enjoyable to engage with them.
2. I continued with growth that I achieved during previous challenges e.g. I started the challenge by sharing a selfie.
3. By engaging with the activities and my goals, I have finally taken steps towards habits that I need to get back to/ want to try.
4. I ended June feeling more present and closer to my usual self on the mat that I started it.

Today I chose to complete my favourite class, M/<60 LIVE NEW YORK BARRE SCULPT /194, because I am celebrating 100 days on the mat! This is the first time I have achieved this in the 2.5 years I have been subscribed to M/BODY.

Not all of these 100 days looked the same. Some days I chose a M/<60 SIGNATURE, other days I chose a M/<10 STRETCH FLOW. There were times when I chose to do all the jumps, times when I chose heavier weights and times when I utilised all the modifications. Many of the days were a mix of all of the above.

However one thing that is true for all of these days is that I am grateful for each one.

1. This challenge I will continue to allow myself to be seen; physically through pictures, verbally through live chats, this board, and IG, and most importantly and most vulnerably through allowing myself to connect with you all.
2. I will continue to work on calming my body with physical reminders and releases. I can control my shoulders by letting them drop, my hands by letting them unclench and release, and my breath by focusing on sets of 4. I will ride the waves of anxiety and continue to recalibrate my nervous system.
3. I will look to no longer save the good or special things for an unidentified time in the future or for someone else. I will light the candles for myself, put on the cost too much pink workout shorts to be alone in my house and plug in the twinkle lights to stretch, eat the raspberries and buy the dark chocolate and eat them off a dish. Seems small but it’s small I seek.

Hi fam, it has been a while since I've shared my movement boards with you, or anything really. Here are my workout boards from mid February. I love them and I am proud of myself, because I didn’t push myself, yet I exercised a nice amount while getting enough rest and other activities.

I am done with traveling for now, so my Summer of Strong Challenge starts TODAY! Can't wait to ease back into it and catch up with y'all.

Today I had to put my fur baby Remington down due to health issues. I rescued him at age 3 and trained him to serve others (Veterans, children, elderly) as a pet therapy dog. He was loved by all and brought me (and many others) great joy in the mere 4 years together. RIP Remington.

I was just cleared to start working out again after a miscarriage, and wow…just, wow. I had been missing Marnie and these workouts, and coming back did not disappoint. On a day of hormone-caused sadness and feeling like my body was a failure, Marnie helped fill me with light. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’m so excited to continue on with the summer challenge and to be able to move again.

Hello loving fam. Just reaching out here asking for some emotional/mental support. Got really bad news about 2 special people in my life. Adding that to what I'm already carrying is really dragging me down. Thanks for listening.

P. S. Day 10 Standing Sculpt 200 really helped. I feel lighter. Marnie sure knows how to work magic 🌟
