So so good to get some gym time.  I saw your post about ‘balance’ and thought how that is what I strive for everyday now too and how much more challenging it is than it used to be.  But then I thought the truth is, it’s less challenging now because it’s absolutely required.  I have so many things in my life that require daily attention and that I love, I don’t have the option to pigeon hole myself or devote an excessive amount of time to anything.  It’s a new skill to learn how to ‘let go’ of the feeling of not giving ‘enough’ and be grateful for having so much to give to.  It also helps that I love all the things I’m ‘giving to’.  Anyhow, those are my deep thoughts.  I will probably never again spend quite as much time in the gym as I once did but I will never stop finding ways to keep it in my life.  It’s so much a part of why everything else works.

Loved this workout.  Legs felt so strong on the DLs.  I was focusing on the hams and glutes to do the work and I think that helped.  Loved moving the barbell again!!  Woohoo.  Felt great.  The walking lunges were tough!  I took one step at a time.  The goblet squats seemed easier for me with the heel elevated.  Thanks!
