I was going to take an extra rest day today but I'm insanely restless and I think I need to burn off some energy. I took the afternoon off to get it done.

I took a rest day today. I stood in my closet for about 5 minutes last night debating if I wanted to go to CF this morning. I finally realized that if I had to think that hard about something that's habit by now, a rest day was probably warranted. So I slept in for an extra hour this morning and it felt glorious. Then I got up and drank my coffee while finally finishing two massively overdue library books. Good thing our library doesn't charge fines on overdue books. I'm pretty sure I got the "lost book" notification for one of them...  |

Glad that’s not it! I might have missed - what symptoms are bothering you? Night sweats, insomnia, increased anxiety, and my OB/GYN said my ovaries felt smaller on my last exam, which is what made him think maybe. Huh. Those are however signs of perimenopause which is normal. The Flo vitamins seem to have helped with the sweats and leveling off anxiety and mood swings. Insomnia is still an issue at certain points in my cycle, but it's not as bad. I'm not trying to function off 2 hours of sleep. There are cheaper, similar options out there if you want to try something. |

Last night I was interrupted partway through my workout by my husband and my children having a huge fight over something really dumb, so that was really stressful. Having a workout interrupted is, for me, a really stressful feeling. So I was probably more snippy than I normally would have been when I intervened. My H is still mad at me today.

Three weeks of being in the vacay spot and I finally discovered the woods today! Took a short hike to the stream with the dog and then went and got the kids and showed them, too. I also made an appt with an orthopedist for when we get back to get my hip checked out. I feel like the obvious answer is going to be "lose weight", and I'll be like, yeah, okay, but maybe they can recommend something while I ponder the commitment of bariatric surgery.

senneth glad you peeked in but I'm sorry things are still not feeling better. CurlieWhirlie interrupted workouts are fustrating indeed! 12 miles biked on a new trail today. It was a few too many slow down and check directions than I would have liked but at least I know for next time.

20 minute power yoga first thing this morning, and a half hour walk with DD around the neighborhood.
Either a bike ride or a walk this afternoon!

Swam with girls this AM. I finally jumped on a scale after three weeks of being on vacay and no chips and dip. Verdict is that I am probably about exactly the same as when I left--and I thought my clothes were fitting better! Oh well. It's been sustainable and I feel good when I eat like this, so that's a victory, I suppose. Just a friendly reminder that you could indeed have clothes fitting better and that the scale isn't the most accurate measure of progress! |

20 minute 90s full body strength with Robin today.
B: yogurt, strawberries and a slice of toast
L: chicken breast, black beans, brussel sprouts and asparagus
D: chicken thighs and salad
I've been in my head about my weight, my weekend eating ( last weekend especially) but also about enjoying the moment, not overly restricting etc. It's like Jekyll and Hyde in my brain.

Yesterday I did chest and shoulders with my trainer. Today I am in the office for the first time in a month so I did an indoor 2 mile walk around our lobby at a brisk pace. I like walking outside but my threshold is about 80 degrees before I do indoor walks because DNW to get super sweaty during my work day with no ability to shower off.

Great. My nutrition coach is being ominous. We aren't changing intake now, but there will be a noticeable drop in the near future. Jerk. Just do it.  At least when my lifting coach tries to kill me, he just goes right for the throat. Fucking tempo dips. I'm still mad about those. |

Hi, we’re back from our trip. I’m exhausted from traveling with kids and yay, it’s also CD1. But I got in a workout and did my best:
- 10 minute core with Callie
- 10 minute lower body with Chase
- 20 minute lower body with Selena
- 20 minute pop run with Andy (in which he spent an entire song comparing running to a make out session. 🤦♀️ But the soundtrack was fantastic)

It's like I get mad at myself because Saturday after tubing we ended up at this restaurant that specialized in loaded fries and I had a lot. But I also made really great memories with my friends that day and in the long run the memories are the most important, but I also know I'm not happy with my weight so it's this weird loop. |

Work was pretty busy yesterday so I skipped exercise and ate mini eggs. Tomorrow I have an appt out of town and am not sure I will be able to fit anything in, so I added more than I usually do today to balance it out.
45 min Hip Hop ride w/Robin
20 min Pop ride w/Ally

I get it, I really do. There’s always a cage match happening in my brain regarding food. I’ve been trying really hard to stop it in the past few years by using my mantras, staying off the scale (completely these days) and just reminding myself that at the end of my life, I’m not going to regret having yummy fries or a few extra pounds. But it’s not perfect and I still go down that road frequently. I’m sure most of us understand that struggle ❤️ |

edm. First im sorry, those thoughts suck. I'm there a lot of times to. Lately I have told myself to shut up and move on. I also remind myself its always a work in process and as long as you keep trying, you are making a healthy difference. F the scale.

Brutal.
Dead.
I've melted onto the pavement.
I thought I was hydrated...spoiler, I wasn't enough for this heat.
Real feel 106° mostly sun.
Worst speed session ever.
Next time remind me to not run between 3pm and 6 pm during the summer.

Next time remind me to not run between 3pm and 6 pm during the summer. Ugh, it’s so dreadful. I did most of my runs this summer at the height of the afternoon sun and heat and I realize how much that took a toll now that I am running earlier and in cooler temps. Good job getting through it! |

Hello!
A quick 2 mile run for me today. It was raining a bit, but felt super muggy. Not the best conditions, but I got it done.

I stacked 3 short rides today and PRed on a 10 min climb ride by 5 points! I did some arm work during my warm up ride and then tacked on the 10 min core workout from today’s calendar. I bought an organizer for my area and I’m super excited about how neat everything looks now. I don’t have enough weights/space to invest in a rack and my current weights fit perfectly in the trays. So excited!  [\spoiler] |

Good evening!
My hamstrings are SO sore from weeding yesterday. How is it that I have done the HCOTF calendar for 8 months now and pulling weeds makes me more sore than anything?!
20 min full body with Ben, 10 min bodyweight with Olivia, 10 min core with Jess. No ride today- work is insane.
B - toast, turkey bacon, fruit
L - chicken & wild rice soup
D - catfish, Annie's mac n cheese, roasted veg

AM
10 min focus flow: floor poses with Aditi
PM
20 min recovery ride with Matt
10 min yoga flow with Chelsea
I was feeling sore from the sweat steady ride yesterday so took it easy today. Getting up from my desk for that 10 min yoga this morning made such a huge difference in my mood. I need to remember that when I’m feeling blocked on something.

3.5 mile run to Adrian's Chris Cornell run at lunch today. 😍 Loved it.
I've been solid with my training plan, but I'm having a hard time getting motivated for strength training. I really love it and miss it, but the transition back to school and work (out in the field now vs. at home) is kicking my ass. I know I'll get back to it but ugh, daunting. I love sleep.
