#LJFitChallenge - It's Not Too Late

I began the #LJFitChallenge in February (Let the Fun Begin), and it's been a great challenge. However, at the end of this past month I've sort of fallen off of the wagon a little. As I increased my mileage, I was dealing with some soreness in my hamstring. And honestly, I am not a fan of walk outs and burpees. But then I had to remind myself of something that I had written earlier (#TuesdayTidbit - Doing What You Need To Do) which pretty much deals with sometimes the things we put off doing are the very things that we need to do.

So I gave myself a little swift kick in the rear to get back on track! I plan to modify Phase 2 a little so that I can catch up with Phase 3. However, if I'm not ready to move ahead, then I will stay where I need to stay in Phase 2. That's the beauty of this challenge. You can start the #LJFitChallenge whenever, and do the exercises wherever.




 And there is a great facebook group for support. Check it out here.


So, let's do this. Want to join me? #LJFitChallenge

  1. I kind of felt that way after the yoga challenge...a little burned out on having to post a pose every day. Don't get me wrong, it was really fun...but when it was done, so was I! Now there's a core challenge.

Running My Life

Wow, has it really been 2 years since my last post? I suppose that I allowed life to get in the way. For any faithful blog readers, I apologize. Although, I'm not sure how many people actually read blogs anymore. I think most people use other social media platforms.  (By the way, drop by and say hi on Insta. )  But for some reason, each year when I pay for my google domain, I can't seem to let it go. As silly as it sounds, this little space is mine. And lately I've been struggling with ownership and acceptance. And my domain renewal was a not so gentle reminder that I have a voice .  Seriously, you'd think by 48 that I'd have this figured out - nope - apparently not. However, I am wise enough to know that we have a choice to allow situations to harms us or make us stronger. I'm choosing to let this mid-life quandary make me stronger. And because of this, I'm setting goals, taking charge, and reexamining priorities.  Movin' on... 

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

When The Planner In You Must Be Flexible

In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m a planner. I know - shocker right?!? :) So although I love substitute teaching, it’s making the planner in me anxious. And it’s been reeking havoc on my workouts. Basically the morning of or maybe the night before, I find out if I’m working. So my day ( that I thought I had planned ) can be turned upside down in an instant. But, truthfully, isn’t that really the same with everyone?
