2023: A Year Made of Magic

I learned so much about myself in 2023. And so much about the type of person I wanted to be.

In 2023, I pushed my body to the limits like never before. Weight training that I actually stuck to, lots of running and walking and journaling. A lot of therapy. There were a lot of tears, but still more progress.

Among other things, I am still Copywriting Manager at Sociallyin! And moving into a more complicated/technological role with the GPTs.

There was a lot of sweat and consistency in 2023 that has really paid off in terms of muscle gained and I have been feeling oh so confident about my gains, CLEARLY.

Thank you, Planet Fitness. But oh, we did actually JUST get a new weights bench so the home workout equipment collection is GROWING just in time for my 2024 gains to begin.

We spent quite a bit of time outside birding and walking and running and I even got my tan on this year in the yard. Don’t worry, I 100% wore sunblock but my arms/legs/midriff never looked so good :’)

Flashback to Bailey chasing coyotes on the bike trail.

And here’s to keeping the goofy, games and gains going in 2024.

Happy New Year!

    Share some tips for how you stay motivated doing weight training!!! 🙂 I’ve tried to do regular exercise but have had a hard time remaining consistent. What worked for you here?

      Start with 68 days! Make it a countdown. The magic of 68 days is that 68 days is around the time that your brain starts recognizing something as a habit.

      Also starting SUPER small. I used the FitOn app and did 10-15 minute workouts the first few days before bumping it to 30. After a couple of weeks as I got more confident about the consistency, I upped it to 45 minutes and then an hour and eventually got to one hour and 20 mins.

      Don’t count calories. Just eat protein-heavy food and do your exercise. Spend more time walking. The more you work out, the more you’ll want to work out. Also, have a down day. And if you don’t want to workout or do stretching every day, have a consistent day you stick to 2-3 times a week.

      I should make a post about this lol. I have a lot of screenshots from when I started my streak.
