I'm "only" 31, so it may be premature to already have a list to tell my younger self, but I have been a trainer for almost 12 years, and working out seriously for 16, so I feel I am entitled to at least a preliminary list.
IMMMM BAAAACCCK
Ok so literally a month later…oooppssie
Lets jump right into a leg routine I have been promising forevvvver it seems
Up until when we got back from Minneapolis I was doing legs once a week, but arms at least twice - Trust me I know this is backwards..I shoulda been doing legs WAY more
The letting go comes with not trying to see so hard, or hanging on to what is disappearing. My husband puts it as, not trying so hard to be sighted, but excelling at who I am. Fight for who I am. Pulling back from what I was.
I have been out walking a lot lately as we finally have some nice weather. I was thinking a bike ride would be nice. A run would be nice. I mentioned this to my kids. These were things I used to be able to do unassisted; running, biking, rollerblading, and more. For a moment they felt sad. I let them know those were my has-been moments.
So when I found out about this amazing Treadclimber experience in California - I knew stopping at Disneyland would be a must -- it was almost like a sign, a little redemption from our last visit.
What a crazy last week - I am honestly sitting here still thinking 'Did that really happen?'
The last week has been so amazing and I am just mostly so nervous I will miss filling you in on something!
Too many of us take our bodies for granted. We sit for hours, or train constantly (me!) without fully contemplating the stress our lifestyle places on our bodies.
Last March if you said I would be where I am today..I would have laughed - never going to happen…ME in a commercial..
Bowflex flying ME, Lorne & Penn to LA for 5 days….never going to happen…..
WELL it is -- next week and I'm SOOOOO excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot imagine being an athlete without my children to shape who I am. They challenge aspects of my training; patience, being able to adapt on the fly, and looking deep into why I train. My oldest daughter wrote an English piece on courage, it brought tears to my eyes because I did not realize she saw me that way.
Alright..So I am NOT one to post myself in a bathingsuit..truthfully it makes me exxxtremly nervous.
Not to mention I am a mom, I never want Penn to look one day and be embarrassed of me (I mean more then he already would be)
