Day 21/100 — A little chaotic, a little calm… stil
Started my morning with cinnamon rolls and almost forgot my mace 😅
Got spooked by an off-leash dog and remembered a bear was spotted nearby (thanks, cousin).
Ran back home, grabbed my mace, and set out again.
Not how I planned it—but still a full week of showing up.
Mentally, I’m clearer. Happier too. Having something that’s mine every day makes a difference.
Still haven’t learned to download music or podcasts before I leave (why is this so hard for me?? 😂), but we’re rolling with it.
Also snuck in a 15-min walk with ankle weights to grab the mail with my boys, and wrapped the day with a 20-min yoga reset to close out Week 3.
My legging haul came in too 👀
Will report back if any become faves!
As I navigate through the challenges of my running journey on Day 21 of 100, the value of consistency has become clearer to me. Despite the occasional chaos, I find a profound sense of accomplishment in showing up daily for my personal goals. Incorporating physical activities such as short walks with ankle weights and yoga sessions not only refreshes my body but also my mind. Physical exercise plays a significant role in maintaining mental health and well-being. Research shows that running, even in small increments, can elevate mood and reduce anxiety levels. The unexpected moments, like my encounters with an off-leash dog, remind me to stay vigilant and adaptable. My journey reflects the struggles of many mothers balancing fitness, family, and life’s unpredictability. Moreover, my recent legging haul has motivated me to share my experiences—showing followers how proper gear can enhance comfort during workouts. While I still face challenges like downloading podcasts, I’ve learned the importance of letting go and enjoying the ride. This journey isn’t just about running; it’s about finding joy and balance within the chaos, making each day an opportunity for growth. Who else is joining the #lemon8challenge? Let’s keep supporting each other!
