I was thinking about this this evening as I walked into the kitchen and saw all the dishes.

"That's okay. I will just do them tomorrow."

And then I remembered i hate having a messy kitchen and I'm working on being the type of person who does the dishes at night.

During class today, I was thinking about how grateful I was that I can show up and do something small instead of not showing up and doing nothing at all.

When you go to a Crossfit class, the expectation is you do the WOD. There's no place to just walk or stretch. Do something small on your...

I was writing in my journal about how proud I am for how far I've come over the last decade, and I am reminded time and time again that everything takes longer than we think it will or should.

I am forcing myself to take a rest day today meaning no lifting and no running.

I can walk or bike but nothing that is going to be too much.

Funny that I'm now a person who has to schedule in rest days whereas for the past decade, I've been someone who struggled to exericse...

I went to my running class this morning, and I just walked the entire class.

I was chatting with Paul about how I needed to figure something out. I know I need rest days, but I am someone who struggles with task initiation. If I let myself pick a few days a week to not go to class, it's...

Just finished my first running class in 2024. I am excited to start the year without goals pressuring me. I am excited to start the year with a sustainable system.

In the past, I've tried to create goals thinking they would drive me to take action. And they would... for a few weeks. But...
