Grateful to be through this week. One of those where ya get beat up spiritually, physically and mentally. Did Monday’s work out and felt great. Between work and life, the rest of the week not so much. Walked into today thinking I would do Wednesday’s workout and then tomorrow Friday’s workout, but after looking at them just didn’t have the energy or motivation to focus on specific body parts. Opted for the Saturday total body and then thought the 20 minute yogish would be a great finisher. Y’all! That 💩💩 was HARD! Mobility definitely is my weak link and I will use that workout to mark my progress in that area.

I have gone back and forth this week giving my self grace and beating myself up. I’ve been a fitness enthusiast for a long time and a trainer for 15 plus years up until a few years ago. What I’ve noticed is when people with that “title” experience negative head space they are almost always shot down with comments like, “what do you have to be frustrated about you look great…” words and statements like that. So I have learned to internalize it and just hold it to myself. This past week, everything just kind of assaulted me all at the same time and the reality of internal coping is that it is a lousy way to cope. If anything good came out of that week, it was realizing that. Thanks for letting me vent and for being a safe place to share and be understood. 💕💕
