I first signed up for OrangeTheory back in March. At the time, they were running some sort of challenge, but I can’t remember what it was. 

After all, I signed up for OTF. That, in itself, was challenge enough. 

I told the staff member at the front desk that I wasn’t interested. That I just wanted to get my feet wet. Start showing up for my body, my health, my mind. And THEN, maybe when I could do that consistently, I’d be down for a challenge. 

Well, my friends. 

Here we are. 

I did the 12 days of Fitmas.

It wasn’t a super intense challenge. We just had to show up for 6 out of the first 12 days in December. Which seemed super do-able.

Well, Wednesday, Ishu got sick. And Thursday to Sunday, we were busy with family in California. 

And yesterday was the final day to do it. 

BUT I DID IT. 

I feel real proud of this person that I am evolving into. 

I mean, yeah, I was a little bit doing it for the socks and shoelaces. #OTFSwag 🙂 

But ALSO, it feels really nice to have this studio to keep showing up to. Even when I leave for a week when my kid gets sick. Even when I am out of town for a long stretch of time. It feels nice to be the person that shows up again. That doesn’t let that lapse dictate her future behavior. 

Because I LIKE IT. I love seeing the people. I love the way I feel during and after a workout. It’s simply the best. 

So, ‘scuse me while I go sport my fancy new shoelaces and socks. I EARNED ‘EM, DARNIT.
