My amazing, goofy, and above all so so loving father passed away recently. He gave me and my family so much, so much love and care. He showed us and told us all the time how important we were to him. He would scream it from the rooftops! He taught me so much about life and I am who I am today because of him. He taught me to love so loudly. Always growing up he would say, “you got this kid remember you’re a Lohmeier!” I’m trying dad. It gives me comfort to know he will always be a part of me and love cannot die. He was the best Papa! Always up for horsing around and willing to play and do whatever Greyson and Emmarie asked him to. They were his pride and joy, truly. He was like a big kid himself, the connection he had with them was incredible. He supported Chris and I through so much and sung our praises as we navigated parenting and life in general. He encouraged us to lean on each other. He reminded us always that he is here for us. I’m sad and so many things with not getting enough time. It would never be enough time, but man I know it always was quality time, so much of it. Today my dad would have called me and he would have sung happy birthday with all his heart in a fancy singing voice. He would fill me with all kinds of loving words. I will remember his words, voice, smell, laugh, and love always. I know dad, it all lives in me still. It all lives in my family. I love you Dad, to infinity and beyond, and beyond infinity.

Hi sweet fam! This is the first challenge since starting challenges where I am actually not committing and it’s so so hard as my body craves it! I also struggle with feeling like I “should” be doing it, but I know I can’t do it all right now! The only reason I’m not and feel like i’ll end up doing probably just half the workouts is because I’m working on training for my first half marathon since I was in my 20s! I wanted to share though how grateful I am to M/BODY because I feel like doing it for almost 3 years now my body is actually more equipped to run! I’ve been trying to look up stretches to support my late 30s knees/hips and I keep seeing moves we already do! This gives me hope that maybe I am coming into this with more than I though I had! M/BODY supports our body so so much and it will be my go to for cross training! Happy challenge all! Sending all the love and kick ass vibes! Our bodies are amazing may we always keep seeing this!🥰🔥💃🏻 Also any half marathon tips greatly appreciated! One of my biggest fears at this time is what if I need to use a restroom and there aren’t any during the run 😂?! All tips appreciated! 💛

60 day challenge complete!! Did all the days though I can’t get it shown in the picture! This challenge was a challenge. I have never been more creative with where I have done M/Body…all over outside, on vacation, on a deck looking out to a lake, family’s homes. It was a time to tune in though and because of that I made it happen! Loved it! I will say I started paying less attention to the activity of the day which tells me this is where my challenge is. I can commit to movement but time and care for self is harder. This is where my focus needs to be now. Really taking time to slow down and be mindful. Healing is a forever journey. I’m happy what i gained with this challenge! ❤️👊🏼🧘‍♀️

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💛😊

Yay summer challenge!

My goals for this challenge:

  1. Each day do some form of meditation, even just paying attention to my breath. I need more calm in my life and slowing down is harder for me. So maybe just some slowing down all around would be good.

  2. Complete 60 days of the challenge but to be kind to myself and listen to my body, being flexible with myself and not always doing impact because my mind says “it’s better” or doing a shorter workout if that’s what my body needs. Resting on actual rest days.

  3. Being intentional about seeing good things, calm things, peaceful things, funny things, and living in those moments.

I enjoy the benefits of all M/body does for my body and I’m going to be more mindful of what I let it offer my mind and heart. ❤️ Much love fam!!

Hey Fam! Just want to say spring has me craving an M/Body challenge! I still do M/Body most days but there is something magical knowing we are all in unity doing the same workouts! Hope to make it to the live tomorrow! Hope this season is being you all that feeling of new beginnings and a sense of renewal ❤️💓🌸🌿🍃

Hi Fam! Hope you all are having a nice weekend! I had a random thought in the shower, (where all great thinking happens lol) must have just been replaying the day and thinking of our live today, and then I started to remember one of my fav movies back in the day. Does anyone remember the movie Save The Last Dance?! I haven’t seen it in ages but I do remember being in awe of all the dance moves and music! And then I was thinking how fun it would be dance to some of those songs during an M/Body sweat sesh! Just an idea, I may be all alone in it, but wanted to throw it out there! All or Nothing by Athena Cage and of course True Colors such good songs and makes me think of M/Body ❤️🥰 Much love to you all!

Favorite M/Body mantras: Of course one is “Be in the light.” I also love “We bend so we don’t break.” Also, it’s doesn’t matter how fast we’re going if you’re going in the wrong direction.”

And apart from M/Body the mantra that has stuck with me forever is by Rumi and is “what you seek is seeking you.”

Much love fam!❤️
