Clocking in for #noexcusenovember @m0tiv8me
Morning no looking at phone-- ✓
Meditation--✓
25 minutes of abs & arms-- ✓. Here's a video of me trying to do 2:50 seconds of plank, struggling and ultimately failing. But, I almossst had it. This workout was sluggish in general. It's evident to me that I'm real good at doing the easier things--the things i like, such as walking 'til my feet ache--but putting in work with weights is so hard for me because it is much, much harder. trying to train the resistance out of myself. or something. my form during a lot of this is not the best. i tried tho hehe.
6 mile hike--✓. Or just about. I clocked in at about 5.7 miles, but I'm ganna count it.
I wore my new pjay top that I'm obsessed with on my walk. So cozy.
Cutest thing I saw was an adorable man tryna walk his dog, insisting we go this way! we go this way! But Dog decided no, bub, we are going THIS way and led him in the opposite direction. who's walking who, I asked.
Found a gorgeous swing that does NOT squeak when you use it. Had a friggen blast on it.
Home to my heating pad (which I'm sharing with the cats, of course); a gorgeous salad with ground turkey meat and some pickles on the side; christmas lights; a late cup of coffee & nada, which is a fun and gorgeously filmed show: a real ode to cooking and food, which I have been thinking about a lot lately.

Ex-husband is coming tomorrow to say his goodbye's to Oli, and to grab the few items remaining of his that I did not throw away. An act of grace and humility on both ends. I hope we can spend some good and healthy time together, and maybe talk a bit more about anything else that needs saying.
Never imagined I'd ever see him again. This year continues to be my teacher. This year continues to instruct.
