TMac Fitness

I'm looking for a new cross training workout to add to running and boxing.  Been on the search since I quit the boxing gym, but nothing has sparked my interest.

(I have a few classes left from my yoga studio package that I'm trying to use, but the studio is a significant drive -- won't be a regular thing even if I love it.)

I listened to Melissa Urban's podcast yesterday and she interviewed TMac Fitness founder.  I've seen him on her Instagram and had a general idea of what he's about -- didn't know his workouts are 20 minutes.  Didn't know that Mind Right is his meditation practice -- 5 minutes.  Interesting.

You can get a free trial -- 30 days free with code Whole30.   If I like it, it's $15 a month (not sure if it's month to month or you have to buy the entire year -- month to month, hopefully).

Maybe I'll like it, maybe I won't, but I need something else in the old tool box of workouts -- this seems like a possibility.  I can't run as much as I'd like and I'm sadly inconsistent with lifting workouts.  P.S.  It's a whole body workout just using your body -- no equipment needed, followed by 5 minutes of Mind Right.  It's the 20 minutes that has me -- sounds like a good filler workout for the week.

Thought I'd share.  More once I give it a go.

I had a cathartic morning yesterday (home alone which was a surprise -- hubby golfing).  I did an easy run on the treadmill and CRIED through my entire meditation.  Processing all this crap.  It was a surprise to write about my mother and stand strong with what I know is true.  Crazy emotions.  Trying to let them happen, not judge, not justify, not poo-poo.

It's also important that I don't make this more than it is -- or linger in upset too long.  Finding that balance.  My mother is difficult and I have some shadows from her dominance that are under the surface, but I have a good life, good relationships and her "stuff" hasn't "ruined" me.  And, I'm almost a 50 year old woman -- she doesn't have any control over me unless I GIVE her the control.

Given my morning upset, I ended up staying in all day -- hibernating a little.  I listened to some podcasts and puttered around the house.

One day of that was good -- more than one isn't.

I'm up at 5:30 this morning.  Not quite my 5 o'clock wake up -- close though.  The pull for super early is when I want to run outside, otherwise, the dogs and hubby have been sleeping until 7 or 8 -- no need for too early.  This gives me time to get some morning routine before dog routine.

I need to get out of the house today.  I was productive with house chores and rescue stuff yesterday but that's not OUT OF THE HOUSE.  Makes a huge difference in my mood and outlook for the day.  No ideas come to mind -- dang.  Need to find SOMETHING, anything.

I'm book-less, kind of.  I started a book that's been unread on my bookshelf for years.  It's one of those epic novels spanning continents and a lifetime (can't remember the name -- it's in the bedroom).  It's okay, but not drawing me to read.  I'm 60 pages into the story and want to stop.  I've given up on a lot of books lately -- what's up with that?  Since I have nothing waiting in the wings, I might give it a couple more nights before I ditch it -- we'll see.

Later gators.
