HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's the most wonderful time of the year! So much going on and I love the clean slates & fresh starts. My training is getting off to a slow start this week. Yesterday was a bit of a wash. Today I might be coaching instead of swimming. But, I am going to a pt appointment today to kick-off the week. I am giving myself a little leeway on these first few days of the year b/c i'm doing Dry January. All my energy is going into the healing power of non-toxic wining. Thinking of it as a bit of a reset, so the training will come.

Week one: done. Its been a fun week training-wise and i'm trying to find the right schedule to fit it all in. The most fun thing has been riding the Peloton. I don't think i'll be able to use it much during later training, but, it sure is fun to listen to great music and have someone tell me what to do. I’ve enjoyed rockin' out to some 90s music and I even knew the top 10 songs on the 2022 Top 50 count down.
Here’s what my Training currently looks like:
Monday: Easy Walk + Pilates
Tuesday: Swim + PT WKO + Peloton
Wednesday: Peloton + Run
Thursday: Swim
Friday: Run
Saturday: Peloton
Sunday: Run

Dry January sucks! And, also, dry January rocks!
It sucks because quitting anything is hard. Quitting an addictive, toxic, socially accepted drug is even harder. I'll admit, I’ve had detox symptoms — night sweats, a little crankiness, a headache.
Dry January rocks. I am already feeling the best effects. My sleep has been amazing. According to my Whoop data, I’ve been In the green everyday since I started - despite the hot flashes. My HRV and my RHR has improved.
