Planksgiving birthday 🥳
Hi fam! It’s my birthday today and I’ve been so excited for planskgiving! I was even going to have my girlfriends over for a workout party. Sadly I came down with strep throat earlier this week so I had to cancel my birthday plans, but the antibiotics have kicked in and I’m feeling much better and I may just do the workout by myself (but take it easy).
Once I’m fully better I plan to still have my friends over for a live, but thankful I can still by with you all today in some way 🫶🏼
Cheers to a new year!
update: I will BE there with you! lols early morning typing. xo
Does anyone remember which class Marnie showed how to do a lymphatic drainage massage at the end of class? I have tried & failed to find it haha! Thank you!
I’ll be missing my workouts for the next 6 weeks…… I’m having hernia reconstruction surgery (thanks to having 3 little ones in a 5 year period 😬). I’m nervous for sure but know I will be thankful to have my hernia fixed. Xoxo!
Upper body strength has never been a, uh, strength of mine, so when I arrived in this wonderful community during deep lockdown and resorted to soup cans (ok ok, tomato paste cans), I was able to tell myself I was starting at a reasonable place given the circumstances. Some time later (we don’t need to get into specifics), I moved from my 8oz pasties to whopping 14.5oz diced tomatoes. That’s right. Don’t be intimidated - you too can have a vegetable-based workout. Today, almost half way through my third year as an M/Body subscriber I finally took the plunge and treated myself to real, big girl weights! Not quite sure how to feel about being able to fit my hand all the way around my weights, but know for sure I’ll be missing the familiar sloshing sound during those straight-arm shakes at the end of weight sections! 😂
Y’all, I just spent a full week at the beach with my whole family—husband, sisters, nieces & nephew, dad, step-mom—the whole crew and I had such a fun time but I didn’t hit the mat a single time! So instead of beating myself up about it I’m just turning my 60-day challenge into a 67 day challenge and keeping it moving—hitting the mat for the first time in a week today! Missed being here, happy to be back!
So my husband & I planned a trip to go to Iceland in November for my 30th way back at the beginning of 2023... fast forward to a super nice but also filled with unexpected bills summer, other fall travel plans being added to the mix, life life life, etc. I started feeling really overwhelmed by the thought of a big upcoming international trip. Then our AirBnB host had to unexpectedly cancel our reservation this week and I immediately felt...relief? So we talked about it and decided to cancel the whole thing and try again for next year if the season feels right and Im just so proud of myself for being able to adapt and listen to my current needs instead of feeling like I have to commit to something because past me wanted it. Past me would have felt like it was some moral failing to do not do the thing, present me knows that honoring my need for rest is way more important. That feels like such growth for me <3
