1. I hope you are doing well! I got home from Zion (more on that below!) last Monday, and I’ve been taking it easy at home ever since. And when I say “taking it easy,” I mean I threw out my lower back and spent four days on bed rest. 😭
2. I’ve dealt with lower back pain for years – I throw my back out at least once a year and its debilitating every time. On the bright side, I’ve been focusing on strength training, which sped up my recovery this time around! And, since I had the week off, I took it as an opportunity to finish Jane The Virgin (five stars, highly recommend!!!). A huge shoutout to Dom for taking such good care of me.
If you’re dealing with chronic pain, know that I see you, and I’m sending you all the love. ❤️🩹
5. One of the trip’s highlights was getting permits to hike Angels Landing. Our entire group made it to the top! 💪 The hike was tough, especially in the heat, but the encouragement and support from everyone kept us going! Afterward, we celebrated with ice cream and a nap in the shade. Later, we had a restorative yoga session and a delicious dinner of bruschetta, pasta, and lemon cake. The vibes were immaculate!!
