The Non-Facebook Post #51

It's my two-month anniversary, woohooooooooo!

Two months of challenging myself and changing myself because 'what doesn't challenge you will not change you.' Two months of sweating it out and 'being sore today instead of sorry tomorrow' and 'trying and failing, not failing to try.'

Well, all of those quotes are Ball State's Rec Center's motivational communication looping on display screens outside fitness classes.

And, it's my two month anniversary since I began exercising regularly! YAY!

I love weight training, and piloxing, and pilates, and yoga, and zumba. Although I still find that cardio is tough for me. It's gets my breath up too much which I have begun to dislike. But, I'll learn to work with it...yet (Carol Dweck's "growth mindset").

Challenging yourself, and stepping out of your comfort zone, even if it is by an inch, is awesome. You don't have to necessarily make great big leaps, a small tiny step outside of what you've done before is enough - because it's aligned with your unique abilities and capability. "You do you."
That's what my yoga instructor Allie says, and how beautifully it sums up the idea of exploring beyond your habits and routine in ways that are tailored for you.

Also, thanks Kerouac!  "If you don't say what you want, what is the sense of writing?" Lol!
