I’ll miss sweating with you all today. I’m headed to an IRL ballet class though! As you can see I’ll be representing with the tote bag. 🙂

Have fun today and wish me luck with actual ballet! 😝

Sharing that for the first time in my life I was able to hook my “peace fingers” around my big toes during the wide straddle stretch today! When I started M/BODY a year and a half ago I could barely make more than a ninety degree angle with my legs - what a difference this work has made. I feel SO much better in body, mind and spirit now. 🙂

I took this photo last April because this little plant reminded me of the affirmation Marnie shared back then and again today. 🙂

Sending strength, love and peace to you all.

Rochelle - I’m following your trend! Here is my fur baby Penny last night. She knows how to relax!

Today during the live class, at the start of the stretch, Marnie mentioned looking up at the blue sky like when we were kids. That and various things Marnie has said over my year+ with M/BODY made me think of Brandi Carlile’s “Stay Gentle” - I love it. Hope you do too.

Letting everyone know my status on the challenge. I set out to do 30/60. I was on track until November 18. Then we moved to a new house. Then I had COVID (a.k.a. No working out for two weeks). I started back with the “Getting Started” Guide because it’s just right for me after being sick. And now I have absolutely no idea where the challenge boards I printed are. I think I did about 20 (?) sessions in all. Cheers to all the challengers! So inspiring!

I’m so excited for my new workout space. We transformed our formal dining room into a home gym. Until now I’ve been working out in a little space in my bedroom - now I’ll have room to stretch out without running into furniture!

Loved the energy of the recorded IRL class! ❤️

So, yesterday one of my right ribs went out of joint. It happened when I was doing the abs part of the restorative flow but not correctly/carefully. If you’ve never had a rib go out, just know it is very painful and uncomfortable. I went to the chiropractor yesterday for myofacial release and hopefully fix of the rib, but even he couldn’t get it back in place. Needless to say, I went into today’s live cautiously, but knowing I needed to move, at the least I would do the lower body portions. Well, long story short, some time in the work out today my rib was corrected! I ended up doing the whole thing including jumps and push-ups! Thank you a million times over, Marnie for creating these amazing healing workouts. I’ll be extra careful with the abs portions from now on. I think I’m a head on the floor type… Cheers everyone!
