MOVE


"She was doing life from a position of complacency. Routines with little to no impact. Flipping the calendar month after month and year after year. Nothing to challenge her. Ugly, restless comfort. Then, life happened."


"Change was imminent. Change was necessary. Change was uncomfortable. Change required movement. Movement required a discomfort. Moving her mouth beyond her negative words. Moving her mind beyond selfish objections. Moving her soul beyond its safe borders. Moving her body beyond its comfortable limits. Moving and moving and moving more." 

In exploring new places for moving, She found events for movement were countless! There were events for moving with corrals and finish lines and medals! What?! Medals just for moving? PERFECT! Crowds cheered each mover whether they were fast or slow. There were venues for the moving in small towns and big cities and in national parks. The moving drew more people who were moving! Because some of those who were moving had similar life stories of complacency, bonds of friendship developed. “Come move with us in another event!”

In the movement, She learned there was freedom to experience the flight of joy. Her thirst to find others to learn from was whetted. Passion quietly moved in when knowledge was gained and when her knowledge was poured out for others to experience. Her hope to help others find movement was lit and getting brighter. Her fondness for moving had ripple effects among friends. They, too, desired to move, but did not know how.

Soon, a tribe of those who were moving differently was discovered. She learned their movement and began to teach others who were afraid to move. Their fear had left them temporarily paralyzed. They never considered their movement beauty-filled. They thought they were good enough to move. Of all things, they had believed the lie they were too heavy to move.

She explored new ways of moving to improve her movement. She found benefits of yielding to temporary discomfort so the movement could go on for miles and years of miles. There were other movers who offered tips and strategies. Still, other movers provided real inspiration and real products to keep her moving and looking cute while moving in her real body with its imperfections.
One day, reality presented itself when She heard herself shout, “Moving is winning!” Others smiled and took up the charge! She was moving to win…not the winning of the first-to-arrive. No. This movement was not toward a single destination, but forever on a journey of daily winning destinations. Daily wins over fear and over the idontwannas. Daily victories of courage over discouragement. Daily change, “the beautiful discomfort” of those who choose to move.
There is more to my story...

#31DaysofSkirtSports Week 1

Why YES, I AM a Skirt Sports Ambassador Captain! Earlier, this year, I was selected to represent this company because I believe in their mission and their products! While Skirt Sports offers shorts and capris for the real women, it's the skirt that drew me in to "Convert to Skirt." I love the compression gear underneath the skirt, which keeps the jiggly from being all wiggly! And, at age 52, I require coverage -- 
cover-age! (I'll leave that one, right there)

Skirt Sports converts, everywhere, are getting in on July's #31DaysofSkirtSports. Let me take you through my first 7 days via my social media accounts...




Day 1. TGIF - Freshly laundered Skirt Sports because #realwomenmove in the Tennessee sunshine!

(Some of my Skirt Sports swag. The grey visor is a BOCO visor for Skirt Sports with a headband at the front to soak up sweat.)

I suggest drip drying your tech gear, but you can always toss it in the dryer on low.




Day 2. Nourish with GOOD FOOD, errday!

(Wearing Happy Girl skirt, colorful Tantrum print)

If you find something you're interested in on the SkirtSports.com website, be sure to enter COP20 at checkout for a 20% discount!



Day 3. A long weekend to run and watch Shark Week shows is like a mini VACATION!

(Skirts Sports Ambassador Trucker Cap - totally free when you become an ambassador! How cool is that?)






Day 4. Feelin' PATRIOTIC, but not skilled at cornhole on Fort Loudon Lake!

Fitness apparel is for any day, not just for fitness activities.

(Wearing Happy Girl, the monochromatic gray Gotham print)

Enter COP20 at checkout for a 20% discount! And, if it's not your thang, the friendly folks in customer service can help you return your purchase.




Day 5. A little TRAILHEAD at Cove Lake State Park of LaFollette, in the Cumberland Mountains of East Tennessee with our little Zuzu the Shihtzu!

Pictured is my wonderful and supportive hubby who says, "I've been chasing your skirt for years!" 

I'm ok with that!






Day 6. After a day of leading REFIT® fitness classes, foam rolling is tonight's hurt-so-good RECOVERY tool on tight calves and sore glutes. 

#stay dry #alldaylong because #realwomenmove 

(Wearing Happy Girl skirt, Tantrum print)




Day 7. Isolate other muscle groups for whole body fitness  = CrossTrain‬
Runners tend to focus on strengthening the legs when all over conditioning makes for a stronger runner. I targeted my core, this evening, doing mountain climbers, planks, sit ups, roll ups, crunches, and this modified version of mountain climber.
TIP: My wrists don't have a full range of motion, so I elevate using weights when holding a plank or doing mountain climbers.

(Wearing my Skirt Sports Ambassador swag a.k.a online as the "Don't Sweat It Long Sleeve" which is soft as buttaaaahh!)


Totally authorized to extend to you a 20% discount by entering COP20 at checkout, at least through December 2016!
