It's been a while...

Okay so, I am still alive – just off the wall BUSY. BUT – I can see it, I can see the routine a-brewing!

Hah – I have been MIA, looks like for a month now. I miss this blog – I am going to make an effort these next couple months to blog MORE. I am still working, still exercising, still breathing!

Here is what is going on in the world of Megan:

1. New JOB.
2. New Commute/hours
3. New Year
4. Back to school
5. New schedule and soon to be routine!

I am not going to go into details because it is a LONG story – but basically I have turned my life UPSIDEDOWN this last month! Changed everything up and am starting new. Because of this, I have found no time to blog while I maneuver my way through this new routine. I am getting the hang of it – changing my 30 minute commute each way to an hour commute each way – eating out one extra hour that I had at home. BUT – I am still finding time in this cold weather to work out!

CHALLENGE UPDATE. So for this month, I let you all know that I was going to be attempting a headstand by the end of January. And, I have done ONE headstand so far. I don’t have a photo because as soon as my legs touched the wall in the headstand position, I sent them right back to the ground. SCARY. I haven’t done something like that since I was about 5-7 years old, where I had no weight on me to crash down. I kicked and kicked and finally, with my besties help, got my legs straight. I had no clue how much arm and ab strength went into this posture. How much balance and calmness. I was freaked. And as soon as I was up, the words spilled from my mouth “I can’t.” CAN’T is a word I rarely use. It defeats me – tells me I am not able. I am perfectly able to do anything with the right amount of practice. 

SO by the end of this month (by this weekend) there will be a photo, me SMILING and in a headstand! I CAN do this. Even if it is for just a moment, I CAN.

This last weekend, Anna and I went on a run/walk – about 7 miles in total! Included a HUGE hill (up and down) and a fun gaunt through an old abandoned golf course! Photos below.

Something I learned at a Women's conference this past weekend, something I am going to remember everyday.

CHEERS!
