All of this went well and quick.  Kinda sore the next day.  Had a pretty stressful event at the barn where one of my horses is training right after this.  Still has me a bit shaken.  She is fine and I am fine was just a lot of drama between some angry guys and scared me.  We’re getting out of there asap.  Definitely caused me a lot of stress and I did not sleep well the night of this workout. Glad to be moving on.  Thanks!

Such a perfect workout for the first day back.  My whoop said I burned 500+ cals.  We got pretty skunked on wind in Maui and did entirely too much chilling and drinking and eating.  I gained 5#’s!!!!  Unacceptable.  So excited to get started with Tracy.  I just can’t weather two weeks of gluttony anymore.  This was a great start. Everything felt pretty good, no shoulder issues with the ttb.  Felt good to breathe.  Thanks for everything!!!

Marc got pretty sick right when we got here and there hasn’t been much wind :/.  But it’s gorgeous and zero complaints.  I did really feel like moving and was happy for some gym time.  It’s like shedding all my responsibilities at home left this room to desire to workout from a very natural place of wanting to move and breathe.  I’ve been sleeping like a baby too and just relaxing most of the day without even reading or being on my phone.  Just kinda marinating in the peace of this place and the warmth.  Decided to blog the few workouts I’ve done and catch you up.  Also enjoyed your thoughts I read on IG.  I love hearing how you process things.  Inspired.  Thanks!
