Thanks Kittybug!!!

First time participating in VF marathon.

8 am check in: Peloton New Year’s Special Cycling Class followed by New Year’s Day Recovery Ride. It focused on breath work and staying in the present.

I’m exhausted!!! My daughter got home at the same time as us from her party and was Chatty Cathy until 4 am. Rare moments that I never want to miss but wish she would choose a better time. Haha.

Happy 2023!

Happy 2023 -- let's be fierce!

Chele, those are indeed very precious moments! She must have had a great evening. I hope you can catch up on your sleep!

I actually ended up being awake until midnight last night -- that doesn't usually happen. But it was not much of an anything evening for us. That storm was wild yesterday. Our power came on in the evening, fortunately. We have sun today and then more rain.

I decided to do Crosstrain this morning. True confessions... I think that may have been my first time doing it in its entirety. Well, probably when it came out I tried that and maybe was miserable, and never tried again. Honestly, it didn't seem that bad -- showing me that once again, it's all about mindset and expectations! I mean, it was hard and my heart rate was up really high almost the whole time, but it wasn't dreadful.

I got on a bit of a roll after that and put away all Christmas decorations except the tree itself. And put away all the various foul weather gear we all had out. Feels good to get stuff done.

Hope you all have a nice day!

Bee…so glad your weather settled down. Funny thing about mindset and expectations. How it can totally change a workout. I really like Crosstrain. Adding more Cathe this month now that I’m through the holiday routines.

Happy New Year!

Okay, I'm confused about what workout you guys are talking about that you are calling Crosstrain. Do you mean Crossfire or Crosstrain Xpress which is an old series?? If you mean Crossfire, I understand the feeling that this one is powerful hard as I remember thinking the same thing, but like bee, it didn't seem as hard when I did it more recently. Must be that Walulan Ferocious Magic!

We managed to stay up til midnight to make a toast, and went to bed shortly afterwards. We heard a few fireworks but since it was rainy here not too many. The cats don't like them, particularly Olly who, as it turns out, is a gigantic chicken.

ChelePA, yes, do cherish that time with your daughter. It's wonderful that she wants to share with you!

Waves and hugs! Hope this year brings only the best for us all!
