Today marks Day 30 of 75 Soft, and for the first time in a while, I made the intentional choice to take a rest day—and honestly, it was needed.
I started my period today, and instead of pushing through just to say I completed a workout, I decided to listen to my body. That’s something I’m still learning to do without guilt. This journey isn’t just about losing weight or hitting goals—it’s also about building a healthier relationship with myself. And today, that meant rest.
Even though I didn’t get in my usual workout, I don’t feel like I’ve fallen behind. If anything, I feel like I honored what my body needed in the moment. Rest days are just as important as active days, especially during times like this when energy levels are lower and everything just feels a bit off.
I will admit though, I’m pretty disappointed. I was really looking forward to trying out my rebounder trampoline today. I ordered it two days ago thinking it would be here by now, but it hasn’t even shipped yet. That was definitely a letdown, especially since I had built up some excitement around switching things up and trying a new workout that’s easier on my joints.
I think part of me was hoping that even if I took it easy today, I could at least bounce a little and get a feel for it—but that’ll have to wait. Hopefully it ships soon because I’m still really excited to add it into my routine.
For now, I’m choosing to slow down, take care of myself, and not beat myself up over one rest day. Thirty days in, and I’m still showing up—and that’s what matters most.
Here’s to continuing the journey, one day (and sometimes one rest day) at a time.
