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.

15 minutes later they wer...

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 rest ...

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.

When we see other people succeeding on the internet, we hear how they got this success in 3 weeks, 4 we...

So proud of these lifting gains of the year.

On Wednesdays, everyone shows up to class. No, like everyone. Meaning it's really hard to get a spot. 

By the time I signed up for today's class, I was 3rd on the waitlist.

I waited all week, and I never moved off the waitlist.

Some days I just walk at my running class. I wake up at 5:25 am and drive all the way there to walk just to keep the habit going.

But then what happens is I end up not go...

Better to show up and do something small than to stay at home and do nothing at all.

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 consistently.

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 very eas...

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 then I'd...
