This idea was inspired by a dear friend who is writing a witty, insightful, inspirational blog about getting her body back after having two kids. Originally, I started with the idea of accomplishing a press-handstand in 365 days. However, it's turned into so much more than that. It's really about my journey back from chronic fatigue syndrome, regaining strength and flexibility that I once had as a gymnast, and my journey back to ironman fitness (and more importantly, the life lessons I'm learning along the way).

7/29/13-8/2813: Days 30-60


Rest! Oops, did I just rest for a whole month!? That’s OK. Rest is exactly what I need right now. I’ve made some big changes in my life and health and rest have become top priority. That being said. There have been a few handstands and/or inversions here and there. I’ve been resting a lot and doing a lot of cleansing and detoxing, but I’ve made a commitment to myself to at least do 30 minutes of gentle activity every day. Some days that may be as simple as stretching. While other days it may mean a walk, a swim, or a yoga class. And I’m still teaching my weekly spin class. Although, I fake it (shh… don’t tell my class). I keep the resistance on my bike very low so that I can keep my heart rate low. Only very, very aerobic working out. So, while I’ve rested for about a month, I’ve been doing all good things for my body, so I’m OK with the extended rest (that may be the first time in my life I’ve ever said that).
