When i focus on rhythm I notice progress

Hi everyone, I had to have a really real moment of reflection tonight. My step goal minimum on week days is 7k. Usually this is because I tend to sit at my desk and can have the freedom to get up and move but don’t as much without that goal to keep me motivated to move. I’ve realized that with back to back meetings where we just sit I struggle a lot with hitting this goal, even when I end up moving more and taking the steps intentionally and trying to get up between meetings. I could have gotten on the walking pad tonight, but the point of the goal is movement during the day, not just to power thru at night to hit an arbitrary number. So I didnt. In fact I sat on the couch and ate a bunch of food because I’m a bottomless pit and wiped with my period starting. I’m sharing this not to tell you what’s right or wrong, but to be transparent and lead by example. Some days we try, and other days it’s okay to be human. My advice to myself is to do my best not to let this happen again tomorrow (avoiding it 2 days in a row keeps it a 1 day thing). Hoping to get a good night of sleep and keep moving and fueling like a pro tomorrow!

My minimum this week is to drink at least 76 ounces of water and walk for 15 minutes a day

I realized that my body is cramping especially in my torso because its been that long since I've exercized, but I also k ow it will get better if I keep it up!

My old self would have absolutely said thrive. My current self says hide. However that is something I need to change. I need to find my spark, I think maybe I need a new "why". I totally just told on myself in the cohort group when asked what is the best way to reach me to do check ins. I wanted to say the cohort message group but I just knew that was too easy to avoid, so I gave my cell and said to text because I always forget to listen to messages. While I was a bit uncomfortable I actually, upon reflection, feel pretty good about my decision. So if you are in the cohort group, feel free to save my number and help me hold myself accountable!
