I got the best night of sleep, woke up with tons of energy and just had the fuckin best leg day ever in terms of weights and feeling strong. 80lb deadlifts for ya girl! 2/3 of my body weight!!!!!!! Also did 75 x 16 reps for the first round before that. Overall the entire workout was a heavy + high volume lift. I feel so good about that!! I know that this is probably a mix of good sleep & where I’m at in my menstrual cycle where I just could rock it today! Do you ever notice patterns of when you can lift your best or have the best workouts? Or does it feel random to you??

Sometimes self love is reminding yourself of what’s important and why you set goals to begin with. This month when I’m at my desk and it’s too cold, I feel too tired, or any other reason… I want this to be my reminder of my movement goal! I may not achieve my steps every day if I’m in meetings, but I want to finish every day knowing I gave effort, rather than giving into excuses! I’m out here walking - AGAIN! And trust me I’d rather be sitting with my blanket! I keep running these groups because I benefit from this stuff, too!!! Anything you plan on working on this month? How will you keep the goals in sight and in mind?

I just finished this article and I found it very freeing and helpful! I wanted to share. I’m curious about your thoughts on it… https://www.self.com/story/cutting-sugar-wont-kill-your-sweet-tooth-try-this-instead#:~:text=By%20focusing%20on%20fueling%20your,chocolate%20when%20you%20want%20it

Hey guys! HAPPY FEBRUARY! you’ll notice some new faces in here and some of us sharing our goals here for accountability (this is part of the prompts in No Reset Required! If you’ve been in past “challenge groups” of mine, you know we had daily posts that provided value - teaching, recipes, reflections, and support - that’s what I’m offering as a bonus in Classroom this month, so if you need and want more structure and more guidance, snag yourself a spot in there!) My wellness goals for February: 1) FITNESS PLAN: continue lifting at least 3 days a week (25 min speed train Lower/Upper/Total Body), spin 1-2 times a week, 1 rest day, and Mobility (either one morning workout or a variety of evening stretches throughout the week) 2) intentional movement as much as possible at work, aiming for 7k steps or more Monday-Friday 3) off phone & winding down for bed by 8:30 Monday-Friday and by 9:30 Sat and Sun I meal prepped today and then we went to Chuck E Cheese. I’m all set for the week! How about you?
