this is your super de duper casual reminder that doing less for ONE day or even a week will not automatically ruin your progress.
Burning yourself out will. Running your body into the ground will. Sometimes we need more rest and it really is that simple.

Sometimes injuries just happen, of course….
BUT if you’re in the neighborhood of constantly ignoring your body signals, not prioritizing rest, and chasing a level of aesthetics & ability that runs your body ragged, bestie boo you will get hurt again.

if you're still insecure about your body and how it looks, even though you shrunk yourself, what was the point?
if you can't even tell when you are stressed and when you need to rest, and now you're breaking down in the middle of Trader Joe's at a minor inconvenience, what was the point of making yourself smaller?
if you can't think of anything else, if you can't think of a way to set a goal based on a movement and a functional outcome....
get a copy of Movement for Every Body. How about that? There's journaling exercises. There's movement exercises. It'll walk you right through it.
Let’s stop being lost in the sauce. The world is already on fire. We do not need to be distracted with hating ourselves and spending money trying to "fix" what's broken.

casual reminder that exercise quite literally is just movement.
It can be sweaty or not. It can be extremely hard and intense or not.
It can be crunches on your couch, taking a shower, or taking a walk.
How exercise looks doesn't matter, how it feels to YOU does matter. is it too much? too little? does it make sense for you? is it helping something? is it fun?
those are the things we actually need to focus on
