Weekly Workout Wednesday #8

Happy almost Thanksgiving! Do you have big plans for the holiday? Are you taking time to reflect on gratitude? I’m staying in Grand Rapids this weekend despite finding out on Monday I didn’t need to go to my full-time job today. I’m working at my second job Friday and Saturday so I thought a couple days to relax would be nice and booked myself a massage appointment. Win win!

Anyway, I’m so embarrassed to say that I thought the Lauren Gleisberg Fitmas Challenge I was following started last week, but turns out it started on Monday…oops! I followed most of week 1 (which you’ll see below) so you can already foresee next week’s workout check-in will look pretty similar. haha! I thought about just moving on to week 2, but I love the idea of doing it at the same time as everyone else. Plus, last week I was fighting a cold of sorts and probably wasn’t on my A-game. Here’s to a new week.

No one said dealing with heartache was easy, especially when it was totally unexpected. I have my good moments and my bad. I have the moments when I'm strong and when I'm still in disbelief. But through it all, what helps me the most is focusing on the things that give me a sense of accomplishment and continuing to work on my goals – both for my health and for my life. 💪🏻 I'm hitting the gym every morning, I'm working on a new routine, and I'm getting back to the things that make me feel strong, calm, and centered. Who knows what the future has in store, but I'm going to make sure I'm showing up as my best self.
