The truth is, I haven’t worked out in two days. But I don’t see it as failure—or at least I’m fighting against that feeling. I recognize it as much-needed rest. I’m in some kind of flare-up with my neck, back, and hips, and even sleep is uncomfortable right now. I’m not sure what triggered it—maybe adding heavier weights or lifting that heavy stroller—but either way, I’ve had to shift into the slow lane the past couple of days. And I’m okay with that. This is exactly why gentle fitness accountability matters. At my age, stage, and situation, I have to find a sustainable path forward. While I can’t push myself too much right now, I’ll be back at it as soon as my body cooperates. In the meantime, I’m realizing I can pivot toward some gentler restorative work. That’s the plan for now. I’ll be hitting my mat tomorrow and checking in then. How’s everyone else doing?

I’ve been a bit inconsistent this week with getting to my mat. To recharge my accountability, I’m posting here and will check in below in the comments for each mat session I complete—big or small. ✨Feel free to do the same for your own goals too!

Comment if I missed one!
