Petit pois! Here is me icing my knee instead of challenging 😫 Classic timing. I picked up an injury to my knee and shoulder before Christmas. I was ignoring it but of course that has made it worse! Has anyone got any tips on workouts that don’t involve putting too much weight on your hand / foot. E.g. planks / one foot bridges. Or maybe I should just follow usual program and miss the injured side. Any thoughts appreciated ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ if marnie can get through having a broken foot I can get through this!

Creatine Recs?

Hi fam! A while ago at a IRL event we were gifted a sample of creatine pouches and they were sooo good! I can’t remember the brand, though. Any ideas, or any recs you’ve found you love?

day 3 ✅😍 and books have arrived today as well😍thank you so much for the recommendations!! Have a lovely week all of you ❤️🥰❤️

Rise & Align Challenge: I am so excited to join my M/BODY Global Fam in another challenge! During the school year (I work in a school) and with my child’s current extracurricular schedule, I have been averaging 2 classes/week (but daily classes over winter break when I was off work felt fabulous). My goal for this challenge is 4 classes/week, and if I get 5 classes in a week I’m calling it a Badass Bonus.

I’ve successfully been able to strive for 60 workouts in 60 days in the past and even 5+/week in another former M/BODY Challenge, but I am aligning with my self-knowledge and understanding pushing for that will create stress in the process for me at this time. I want to focus on maintaining hydration, sleep, and follow the inward nature of winter so I can be ready for the energetic swing of spring without it feeling so jarring. I’ll be celebrating my 4th Marnieversary (Palentine’s class!) during this Challenge, and in these almost four years I’ve left an unhealthy marriage, been separated and divorced, and I made a friend who I intended to be just a special friend (and was sharing all about that FWB early on during a M/BODY girls weekend!). He has joined us for three Planksgiving classes and has gone from special friend to boyfriend to fiancé. Todd and I got engaged under the full moon on the 2nd of the month (Molly M’s bday)! It will be a long engagement as we are both parents and I promised my child during that awful separation a few years ago he will ALWAYS have a safe and peaceful home with me. While Todd has blended well into that, I am not ready to merge households. He has understood and respected my child will always be my top priority; we may wait a few years, or many years, but knowing we’re both fully invested in our partnership is special. I love how I can anchor into M/BODY during all of the highs and lows of life.

Due to my work schedule and busy family weekends I wasn’t able to catch a Live class to share this fun update until the start of our Challenge. Thank you for all of the kind words in that class! Cheers to everyone setting personalized goals for themselves this Challenge, and cheers to those who are catching classes when they can if a Challenge does not align with their needs this time around. Thank you Marnie, Katelyn, and M/BODY Team for creating this!

Happy Challenge! I’m joining 💥 I’m committing to do 3 days a week! I’ve been at one a week lately 😬 with it being dark in the am and circulating colds between the kiddos. So here I go! I plan to rise early start my day off on the balanced foot and enter the new year with intention. My goals for myself are to be present with my girls and not to rush through life.

Happy Challenge Day 1, fam! Today’s live was fiery, flowy and grounded. Feel so good to be back. I was joined on the mat by my mom, Martine, and when she heard Marnie’s callout at the end of class she laughed and said “yeah Victoria’s mama is jello!” but there was no mistaking the afterglow! 🥰She’ll be back. We’re hoping to keep each other accountable throughout this challenge and consistently get to the mat. “We owe it to ourselves” and she’s completely right.

My goals for this challenge are simple, but will take some resolve and determination to see it through:

✅Consistency - I’m not committing to an exact # of workouts and have framed the goal to be consistent, steady commitment, checking in with my body to listen to what it needs

✅Prioritizing sleep - limiting my screen time at night, making time to read and pushing myself to make art again. The light is coming back, and I want to embody that in several facets of my non-work life.

✅Prioritizing hydration - a habit that feels less intuitive in winter but is so important for adrenals, skin, and overall health

This weekend I’m going to also find a permanent space for my barre!! It’s been sitting in the box for at least 6 months! Time to create a dedicated, motivating workout space!

Good luck challengers!! Leaving you with my post-workout view- unexpected snow in Maine today ❄️ xoxo
