Week Eight - Here Comes the Sun

Week Eight - Here Comes the Sun

I lost two pounds! And more importantly I’m feeling more positive about working out again.

I ended up at three yoga classes this week. My Aunt Theresa even accompanied me to a Saturday morning Yoga Studio 43 class followed by mimosas at the Spare Time. I also made it to the gym three times—one circuit training, one treadmill walk and one elliptical. I’m once again pumped about getting stronger and more fit.

I wasn’t as successful on the diet front. I had quite a few drinks this weekend, which definitely took me over my caloric intake, but I’m not beating myself up. I’ll just make better decisions this week.

Overall, my outlook has improved 10-fold, so this week I chose an uplifting song that’s great for warmups and stretching—Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles. I hope you’ve had a great week too, but if not, keep your chin up.

As always, I’d love to hear about your journey. Did you have a win this week? How about any setbacks? Please comment below or email me at mollie@midlifepickle.com.
