Howdy!!
I hope you all have enjoyed your weekend. Mine has been tiring but not in a bad way. My little boy isn’t sleeping very well so I haven’t slept all night in about a week. The joys of parenting, am I right?
I did two rides today and they both felt okay. Yesterday I went hard so I knew I wasn’t going to feel top notch, and that’s okay! Like so many things in life, this is for the long game, not to be frustrated and quit.
Y’all know how I like to be in the first half of the rankings! Honestly, when I need motivation or just really want to have a ton of fun, AT’s Club Bangers rides are my favorite. He has this awesome energy and is so encouraging. Like borderline tough love, but not quite?
I didn’t make it to the first half of the ranks in this one, but I usually don’t on the second ride of the day. I’m okay with that. Mostly. 😂
I’m really loving this challenge so far, and it hardly even feels like a challenge because Peloton is so much fun. I discovered that I could use a Bluetooth speaker with my bike instead of the speaker that comes with it. I have a nice HK Bluetooth speaker so I hooked it up and cranked the volume.
So. Much. Fun.
I will drive up to CycleBar someday and try out a “real” spin class, but for now this is really great. I feel so much better about myself. I’m happier in general and I feel so accomplished from doing this even for the 97 days it’s been so far. My pre-trauma self would never have attempted something like this. OR, if I would have attempted it, I never would have shared it. I’d be too afraid of failing to ever try. So this really is proof of how different I am, and it’s so good. What I gained by losing the narcissist I was married to is incalculable.
I’ll have to do a fun post with more stats for day 100. It’s coming up soon, and so is my 200th ride! Thank you, Peloton, for making me love this so much!
xoxo,
Sarah
