We both got bossy in moments (especially me).īut we kissed passionately in the shade during the radiance of our breaks-seeing what we had done, how well we worked together, and how much we had left to do.Īs we moved the thick soil through our hands, the clay-like consistency felt so good.īut really, my love-it felt so good to do this with you. We sweat vigorously in the noonday sun-salty drops running down our backs and chins, occasionally landing into our mouths with an oddly satisfying splash!Īnd how we laughed. Oh my love, we dug deep into the soil with our fingers-damn, our poor fingers-for they quickly became red and calloused from our efforts. We planted a garden together-a mighty fine garden, if I do say so myself. You make me realize how beautiful life can be-in the healing, in the awesome realization that I am not broken or unlovable after all.Īnd I want you to know how much it means to me I want you to feel the ways our story drapes itself in my mind like the sweetest honeysuckle vines. You encourage me in a million ways to be more real, more myself. You make it so easy-with your kind eyes, calm smile, and the devoted care resounding in your melodic voice. But she is inviting you in, more and more. She felt walked on, used and abused by the way others had treated her. ![]() See, my heart was bitter for a long time. I have to sit back and take snapshots in my mind. I am writing to you because our love is growing. Don’t ask me why, but I feel inspired to skip around and lick the air with my tongue. I shiver and appreciate the coziness of the warm mug in my hands.Īnd I smile so broadly as I think of you. My love, I am writing to you as I sip dandelion tea and wrap my favorite soft blue scarf around my shoulders.Īh, there’s a slight chill in the air tonight. So what’s the plan moving forward? My goal is to continue on with Lindsey’s 4 day a week plan and add in 2-3 runs (at least until the below zero temps hit, then we’ll reconsider).A post shared by ecofolks on at 6:58pm PDT We have very different body types so it was fun to see that she got more fit just like I did! NOW WHAT? My sister did this program alongside of me and she had just as many gains as me (she increased her plank by 30 seconds!!!). I’m pretty proud of the fact that I gained this much strength in just 30 days.ģ0 days, people. I lost 3 inches in my waist alone and I can finally feel my abs again! Woohoo!! FIT TEST ![]() I only lost 1.2 pounds but as you can sorta see I firmed up a lot and muscle weighs more than fat (and burns more calories) so I’m ok with that. Mind you, this is literally first thing in the morning with zero makeup and clearly nothing done with my hair. I wasn’t planning on showing the world my before and after but whatever, here we go. And I drank lot and lots of water! BEFORE + AFTER I swapped out my normal morning cereal for egg + spinach + pepper + cheese muffins (not muffins but you cook them in a muffin tin) and some greek yogurt. It’s funny, though, because as the weeks went on and I felt stronger I wanted to eat healthier! I ate less chocolate chips + animal crackers and more fruit + veggies. I wasn’t really that strict with my food although I tried to follow Lindsey’s advice of just eating “real food”. Being pregnant followed by being a mom to a newborn took a toll on my fitness level! It was hard to not get discouraged when I could barely finish a workout even with modifying it but by the end of the 30 days I could finish each workout with less modifications – I was so proud of that! (See my whole fitness test results below.) FOOD When I started I knew I was the most out of shape I’ve been in a long time. It’s shorter than a show on Netflix! And seriously I could easily spend 20 minutes scrolling on Instagram so really 20 minutes is nothing. On days I didn’t feel like doing it I would tell myself “it’s just 20 minutes”. Third, I am SO in love with this program. I have a deep love for healthy and fitness (my degree is actually health education!) so I know that it takes time and effort not a “quick fix” diet or exercise program to change your body and become a healthier person. I just wanted something to keep me motivated and on track because let’s face it, motivation is half the battle, am I right? Second, I wasn’t expecting a night and day difference when I started this workout although I saw some MAJOR improvements both in my look and my overall strength. ![]() Nourish Move Love Workout Program Reviewįirst of all, I can’t believe it’s already been 30 days! Whoa! It’s crazy how fast 30 days flies by (and another reason to just START TODAY!).
