🍄 100 day life reset 🍄

||| Eight ||| Tuesday ~ Dec 2

🍄🍄🍄

Good morning Shape Shifters. Another cold and windy morning. I decided to just start my walk from home, didn't feel like biking somewhere first. Weights at the gym before lunch which went well. I am however going to switch my gym days around. I always go to the gym at 14:00 but they recently started an hour for kids to workout (a group class) at 14:45 on Tuesday, however some kids already show up at 14:15 and get noisy and annoying. This time the whole group flooded into the main gym room to use the cardio machines. It was pretty annoying and loud, so I will be moving to Monday instead. I prefer going at the same time every day and since there is a senior hour at 13:00, I would have to go at 12:00 on Tuesday which is a little too early so Monday it is. Anyway, I felt a bit tired the whole day, but I managed to get everything done. I got a package in the evening with new snacks and treats for Tinus, a glow in the dark unicorn blanket, a big scratch carrot and an adorable salt and pepper shaker set for myself. I won't be using them for that; they will just sit on the shelf by my desk and look cute.
Happy Wednesday 🍀

Last week, @LaurieWrobo shared some reflection questions with us. I’m going to post my reflections periodically throughout the month — one question at a time. Here’s the first question on the list:

What moment, event or achievement of 2025 are you most proud of?

For me, it was nice to see my son graduate from college in May but that’s really his accomplishment. So, I’ll say paying off his student loans right away is a satisfying achievement.

Finishing the marathon in October felt like a milestone accomplishment but I’d like to run one more marathon to apply all the lessons I learned. I didn’t train properly and it took me a long time to finish, I walked most of miles 17-20, etc. So, I’m planning to run the original marathon route in Greece — Marathon to Athens — with my nephews (& probably my younger son) in November 2027.

There are probably some achievements that make me feel prouder than these examples but they’re harder to explain — setting healthier relationship boundaries, and standing up for myself instead of trying to please everyone, comes to mind. It’s harder to pinpoint a moment but, in the end, I think that kind of growth is more important than some of the more socially-validated “big” accomplishments.

What makes you all feel proud?

Happy Friday team! While it seems like the rest of the world is freezing and shoveling, I’m sitting by the pool and enjoying the morning. Florida winter makes those unbearable summer months totally worth it! Planning on doing some water aerobics and working on my tan. My husband and I are heading to South Beach next week for a little staycation. I’m really looking forward to having my feet in the sand, swimming in the ocean, having a margarita on the beach, and reading my book for book club! Can’t wait! Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
