June 2022 Challenge

 

18 exercise days in June (some days included more than 1 workout). 🙌🏻

I'm back...

 Although I haven't regularly updated this blog in a while, I have continued doing Xfit WODs (4 days/week).  Last fall I realized that I needed to put my membership on hold because of being super busy! (2 kids - each participating on 3 high school sports teams, working full time, being called to a busy calling in my church, etc.)  If morning classes had been an option I could've continued, but that wasn't the case.  I went a few months without the gym before a friend reached out and asked if I wanted to join the Mamele community with her.  We've been going strong since January.  I'll strive to update this blog again, mainly because I love reflecting back over the years at the progress I've made!

Today I got word that a friend and co-worker passed away from stage 4 ovarian cancer. She was diagnosed in December and fought a tough battle that inevitably was impossible to beat. She was so positive, witty, and easy to love. She had a passion for fitness and lifting weights. The world was better because of Chari and she will truly be missed by many. 

In remembrance of Chari, I wore my shirt to work out today. It was a hot day and a tank top would have been more comfortable, but I wanted her on my mind. #stronglikechari

 Listed below is my completion for each round during the WOD.
