Yesterday, I was able to do something that I have always thought I was too inflexible to accomplish.
Yesterday, I rode a horse at the slow trot and did not bounce up and down in the saddle. Rather, for the very first time, I could feel the side-to-side alternating rhythm of the horse and allow myself to move with him.
I have always believed that I was inherently too inflexible to achieve that movement, so I just refused to try.
After several weeks of active stretching exercises and helpful coaching, I did it! I rode a horse in a more relaxed manner.
I'll be 70 on Thursday. My false belief has held me back since I began to ride at 23.
Maybe you too believe something that is holding you back...
Your friend, Rick

Awesome work on the horse Rick! This morning I was sleep deprived (working nights and had to be up until 2am to meet returning students and escort them to quarantine). In the past I would have written off the workout, but I got in the pool anyway, and did a steady pace, and by the end of the hour I felt amazing.14 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. I worked out for 1 hour this morning before work then walked for another hour on my lunch break.

That's awesome Rick!
Yes x3 despite having a burger for lunch.
Exercise was the ring fit. It's too hot. I know it's not as hot in the uk as it gets elsewhere but please save us we're finding it really hard.9 -
#4- fear of failure used to be a stumbling block for me. I still have to remind myself to be brave sometimes.
3x’s Yes! A day of gardening, hiking and swimming underwater falls. Finished with a strength class- abs and arms with my backyard workout crew.
I set and met my calorie goal today. I’m being generous with myself as I get back into the swing of calorie counting. Sigh, no more handfuls of trail mix for me.11 -

Yes x 3. I re-injured my foot today. 13.5k steps moving those beds for a total of 263 minutes. I see these numbers dropping like a rock over the coming days, as tonight I can barely put weight on it. But I can’t keep walking five and six miles a day, soooo...Looks like chair yoga and possible seated dumbbell workouts going forward until healed, I reckon. My boss is gonna be hot, but I have to take care of myself, right? I’ll be taking myself to the doctor in the morning.
I guess this is part of my self-limiting belief #4: I’m afraid of failing my team, but there comes a time where I HAVE to put my physical well-being above that job. If I go out? They are going to be even shorter-staffed, but I’d rather only be out a few days than weeks...14 -

Insightful post Rick, ty for sharing.
Yes x3 for me today. I'm struggling a bit sticking with the diet plan and feeling lazy on exercising, not sure why. No going back though; onwards and downwards.9 -
Heat advisory or not got all three done of course swimming was nice7

My report:
Well, after I do a day of extraordinary exertion, the next day is a recovery day with what I call "easy day exercises" 30 minutes of walking at a strolling pace. Tomorrow, I will push myself again. Stretching plus riding is on the list
Calories: under by a little bit
Tracking: kept me under by a little bit.

Yes x3
I ate a ridiculous amount today but that was due to biking almost 20 miles made up of three separate errands trips here in DC and 15k steps. Was under by 150 cal but that includes eating almost all of my 1000 exercise calories....
