One moment every day in October!

Our first full month back in Orlando flew by!

Like any month it had its share of high points and challenges. 📈

I navigated a few small injuries and (re)-prioritized recovery to move past pain in some of my movement patterns, got caught up on preventative health checks and researched next steps into perimenopause and potential future decisions. 💗

At the same time, it felt so good to be back in a good rhythm and routine at the gym here stateside, and was delightful to celebrate a couple of significant milestones (1 year of bodybuilding, 2 years of sober curiosity and delivering my first NSCA national conference talk and live Q+A afterwards to an audience of certified personal trainers).

We also enjoyed plenty of connecting with family and friends back home, from Disney park days to catch-up calls, and even a Hallowedding to wrap up the month!

Now I'm peeking ahead at the rest of the holiday season with excitement and just a touch of trepidation. 😅😂

The Goblin Squat Challenge has made way for Planks and Thanks, and while I'm so grateful for such a beautiful, full life, it never feels like there are possibly enough days in the month for all of the things I want to get to, especially this time of year. That said, I'll be over here doing my darndest to find the magical (and mindful!) moments, day in day out during this very special season.

What are you looking forward to in November? 🍁🙏
