I am in bed at 8:42. Usually I go to bed closer to 10 pm. Taking this part of the challenge very seriously. Anyone else ?

So today my family came to town. I have not seen my PA beeps since 2019. So it was a major to see them and spend the day in Ann Arbor at the MI football game. I did not workout today. But I had such a wonderful day I am am ok with missing day one of the challenge. I am trying hard to make sure I am nicer to myself this challenge instead of feeling guilty for missing a day.

Todays class the first word I put down was pain. Pain from feeling physical pain for not taking care of myself as I should. Pain for feeling hurt in my heart and head from losing my mother at such a young age. I feel like this pain has been keeping me from moving forward. Thx Marnie and fam for letting me be vulnerable and sharing.

So fam I have a very sedentary job sitting in front of a computer most of the day. I have a standing desk at the office but I will be working from home 2 or 3 days a week. Anyone have a suggestion for a good chair to help with lower back pain etc ? Any suggestions very much appreciated.

This is my other canine baby. He is Berkleys Therapy Dog. Keeps Berkley calm and grounded.

Prior to the pandemic this guy and I would visit sick people. Now his main gig is to keep me calm while I work remote three days a week.

This is Luna. She is my sister in law. I take care of her and sort of share custody with her and my in laws. I love this smile.

Fam I did the live yesterday and loved every minute of it. And surprisingly was very sore even though the class was only 20 mins. But I wanted to share some personal stuff. I have horrible hunching posture. Why you ask? As a young woman I had very large breasts and I have always wanted to hide them. And so many of the words Marnie shared during the class really hit home. I know that many of you love your body but I struggle with body image issues. The global fam has helped but I am always my worst critic. Hopefully I can revisit this class again and work on standing up straight and being proud of my body no matter the shape.

I know we are all feeling down. It took 50 years to bring down Roe. But that did not break us. Remember Marni says it is ok to fall down and get back up. We bend so we don’t break. And we have Mother Earth to catch us. Love to everyone.

Am I dumb. Is playlist music or is it several classes ??
