I started out strong and when I looked through pics and calendars I noticed how positive, motivated, and felt so much momentum! My original goal was 60, but had to modify to 30 out of 60 days half way through as not to add stress to the stress I was feeling in life. When we decided to give our 30 days notice to terminate our current lease- instead of leaning into the challenge (which would have helped me) I began spiraling into a weird funk.
However, through this reflection, I realize again how important this group to me! Ended up accomplishing 42 exercises in 60 days (some outside of M/Body) and 37 self care activities.
I know how important exercise is to my mental health. Soo very grateful for this community. 💗🙏🙌💫🎉🫰💞🎸🦄🥳

Back from vacation and trying to reset my mind and body. Will be back on the mat this Saturday.... can't wait xo

When I set out on this challenge, I had big aspirations to do 60/60, but life is not that straightforward sometimes. Growth isnt linear. I had many unexpected work trips which cut into my energy and availability. But the guilt over those “missed workouts” did not outweigh the lake days, the slow mornings making brunch with family and working in the garden, and the many amazing reunions in my travels and met some #mbodyfam Laurie!! along the way. I can’t hide that I’m bummed in my performance but I’m trying to practice self compassion and gratitude. Tonight I made a pact with myself to redo the last 30 days at my own pace, to get back into a good rhythm and feel good in my body again like I did in the first half of the challenge. I’ll continue to lean on the love of this fam, and offer up my support to y’all as well ❤️ 26/60 was worth every second, every breath, every drop of sweat. Im so happy to be here ❤️

51/60 Days! So glad I managed to prioritize myself, it wasn't easy but I did my best and that's enough! So proud of all the challengers! We did it!!! 👏🎉👏🎉👏🎉

🤍🤍🤍

I finished 49 workouts and 29 wellness challenge activities. My goal was to go for 60, but life happens! I had a great time doing the challenge with you all. Can’t wait for the next one!

Don’t forget to post your completed challenge boards by 11:59pm PST TONIGHT! You don’t want to miss out on having a chance to win fab prizes 😉

Missed doing the lives with the Fam but was able to complete 42/60 - goal was 30. Definitely was a challenging summer in a multitude of ways. Congrats to all who were able to complete workouts - no matter the number or frequency!

The Summer Of Strong 60 Day Challenge is complete! I achieved 60 days, completing all the workouts and 50 activities.

I end this challenge feeling very grateful for it, as I have done with each of the previous challenges I have completed. While I was lucky to start this challenge from a place of consistency with my workouts, I did rediscover a few workouts I love that I may not have chosen to complete otherwise. The activities are always where I feel I experience the most growth. This challenge this was especially true for the goal setting activities. I chose to go back to basics when setting my 3 goals at the beginning and feel this was a good decision. Their simplicity meant that they were less overwhelming to engage with and allowed space for them to evolve. I always love completing a challenge alongside Mum (Yvonne) and this challenge we enjoyed adopting each other’s goals along the way. I remain happy with my goals and am going to continue working with them in the coming months.

Congratulations Fam! I have loved being on this journey with you and am already looking forward to joining you all again for the next one!

Cheers to all during endings, beginnings, and rerouting of this wild time.
Summer of Strong was my third M/BODY Challenge- and I moved classes around, substituted, and didn’t complete the #s I set for myself:
goal: at least 45 classes and all 60 wellness activities
vs.
reality: 38 classes and 54 wellness activities

It’s been such a busy, transitional time. My takeaways are I feel better and do better when I get to the mat more consistently (any time of day or evening/night); the numerous benefits of sleep make it worth the effort to prioritize; I am inspired to find my new rythym of re-committing to consistency with my new schedule.
