Time to Change it up!
First, this is a tough week and I truly appreciate my friends reaching out to make sure I'm okay. Thank you. Your outpourings of love keep me smiling.
As you know from my last blog, I have been stuck. My good friend Jodi did some research and suggested that I change my routine. So I'm bringing back the couch to 5K app and passing on the meltdowns (sorry to my meltdown buddies...we shall meltdown one day again). Really, I just need a break from meltdowns - 6 months is awhile to do the same exact exercises.
Today I was back to day one of Couch to 5K. It went great. I'm sure I won't be saying that in a couple weeks, I have to say it was a great change of pace (ha) and my body feels energized yet worked. It won't be easy the entire time. It'll get more difficult. But I'm up for a new challenge. Last night as I was Watching Seamus waddling as he learns to perfect his walk, it was a great metaphor for me - I just have to keep trying...keep doing and never give up.

Day (almost) 100
Confession time: I skipped the gym today.
Yes, I feel a little guilt inside. I worried about what my workout buddies think. I was concerned how this would be received by my "followers." However, with all the things happening (which I can't wait to publicly share), plus doing two meltdowns a day, 5-days per week....I needed a little extra break. So I took one.
Now it's the end of the day, and as I reflect on my choice to play gym-hookey, as much as I missed it, I think it was good for me at the same time. Over the last five months, I've been super dedicated and stringent about going; by skipping today and ultimately forcing myself to be okay with that, it was a big step in showing myself that I'm completely imperfect and that is perfectly alright.
Tomorrow will be my 100th day at the gym. Coincidence? We shall celebrate with two meltdowns (Patrick suggests three if we can squeeze them all in before Akira's dance class).
