My goal was to have a sustainable workout regimen for my semester that consisted of 3 workout days. On the one hand, I have a cardio one that seems to work but not a strength one. On the other hand, I haven’t really had a normal full week of classes because of the snow. But I’m trying and have done well so far. I’ve learned that some Fitblrs around these parts have good taste in music lol. This whole not doing strength workouts is somewhat of a new development that I can’t explain so I guess I’ll try to tackle it next month. I’m planning on doing @fatmaninalittlesuit‘s challenge in February and am off to find the posts for it as soon as I finish this post. This challenge was a lot of fun and I really liked that everyone’s posts were reblogged to a central location. I think that’s a fantastic format for a challenge. I live in the U.S.

Gratitude Thursday - Self Care edition

What are you grateful for about yourself?  These can be anything!  Is it a physical feature?  Something about your attitude?  Personality?  Something you are able to do or have done?  What makes you the fantastic being that you are?

List 5 things that make you amazing and wonderful.

these prompts are the reason why I find self care weeks in challenges so difficult...

Write it Out Wednesday

Is there anything that can throw you off your game?   Anything that can send your attitude into the tank?  

Write out what your struggles are and then brainstorm ways that you can either avoid the causes/triggers or how you can keep yourself in check.  Share with us at least one thing that you found might help you and how you plan on implementing it into your routine.

Photo Ideas:  Show us your brainstorm or something that will help you implement something that will help you fight those negative things.

Lol yes things can throw me off and when I’m off, I’m WAY off. Hell, this Wednesday in particular I was in a miserable mood after having to go to class despite all the snow and ice still on the roads and on campus. I can just wake up not feeling it, I can have a day where I particularly hate what I’m seeing for xyz reason, something really serious can happen that will upset and distract me for the rest of the day, quite the variety of things are possible.
