TAG A FRIEND AND CELEBRATE THEM IN THE COMMENTS, SHOUT THEM OUT AND TELL US WHY YOU ARE SHOUTING THEM OUT! Today I am shouting out @Brandi Gibson !!! Wins, we sometimes get so consumed by the shiny wins only. We forget that winning is showing up in the hard times, the dark times, the times we wish we didnt have to face. We forget that our mental and physical strength carry us through those times and allow us to withstand the storms even if it feels we arent strong in those seasons. You dont feel strong or feel like its a win because you ARE IN IT! As an outsider of Brandi's current valley, I see her showing up, I see her being strong for those around her, I see her handling business even if she feels crippled to do more. She is an inspiration and a reminder of the wins that are less shiny but I would say they are MORE important than the shiny wins.

If anyone is interested in the Grit book-I’m finished and will kindly mail it to you.

If you’re not reading Grit with us, I highly encourage you to grab a copy or listen to the audiobook. 🎧📖 A part of the book this morning reminded me of something powerful: Failure is normal. Mistakes are normal. Yet from a young age, many of us are conditioned to feel shame or guilt when we mess up. That conditioning teaches us to AVOID trying new things… because at our core, we want to be accepted. But growth doesn’t live in avoidance. It lives in courage. So here’s my challenge for you this week: Pick ONE thing that makes you nervous and do it. It could be: - Posting or interacting more in this group - Trying a new workout class - Going to lunch by yourself - Signing up for that class to learn a new language - Having a hard conversation Anything BIG or SMALL. I’ve evolved into someone who understands that failure isn’t fatal… but regret can last a lifetime. I still get nervous.I still feel fear.I still worry. But I also still show up and try. How can we expect ourselves to be experts at something we’ve never even attempted? That kind of pressure isn’t fair — and it’s not how growth works. This week, let’s choose courage over comfort. 💛 BIG DAY TODAY OF GIVEAWAYS, congrats to ALL our winners!!! - @Tanner Pruett , @Katie Blankenship & @Tacia Miller for being our Super Bowl gift card winners! and @Katie Blankenship for being our BIG winner of the $100 gift card drawing we did as no one had selected the square where the final score ended up! - Our weekly winners for our Not More of The Same Challenge (weeks 1 - 4) , not for their scale movement, not for being perfect but for their consistency of showing up! @Sarah Finney @Katherine Staines @Erin Sprando @Shelia Bolick @Christina Lynch @Becca Martel @Krista Vega @Lisa Browning

Super Bowl Sunday ended up being a free day. I enjoyed a couple beers and fun foods I decided didn’t fit my diet for 75 Hard. Monday I jumped right back into it though and I am now on day 8 of my second attempt at 75 Hard. ☀️ The weather has been so much kinder to me so far. Wisconsin is now setting record highs instead of record lows! 🙌🏼 Drinking the gallon of water still continues to be where I struggle the most. Even the days I go to the gym and have 40oz done before 8am. I’m going to work on setting some time goals throughout the day so I push myself to drink more earlier in the day. The end of the day chug of sometimes over 40oz is just not it for me. Some things going on in my personal life have been throwing me some curve balls. But I’m powering through and checking the boxes, even if it’s in a different timeline than I would like. So proud of @Ashlynn Dohman , @Shelia Bolick & @Amitha Gona for continuing on through their own challenges! It’s been great to have them to lean on and share with.
