PSA for those who donāt know
If you see someone out running, do naaahhhht interrupt their run to ask for directions or similar. Has happened to me twice in the past week!
That is all.

Ahhh that used to drive me crazy when I would run. I never ran outside but I would on the treadmill at the gym. Iād be listening to music and would have just gotten into the ārunners zoneā and someone would come up to chat or signal me to take my headphones out or something. Drives me crazy

Thatās another no-no. Unless totally necessary, asking someone to take their headphones out is a bold move.

Hello my fellow lifters, runners and gym nuts! 
Been getting back into the swing of things after my extensive low period over the summer and various small but annoying injuriesā¦ Feels good to be back. Iām grateful.
Welcome back @5th_dimension AndrĆ©! And a very warm welcome to @anon57836609! It doesnāt matter how small you start. My fav weight lifting motto is: there is no top of the mountain. Developing a training practice and ways to work with and in your body is a wonderful assett to maintain mental stability and build self reliant happiness. Something you can always come back to, on however small a scale, when times get rough and other things feel like theyāre falling apart. Iām happy youāre tapping into this great resource, Jan! 
Keep us posted on your journey!
Hugs to all! Letās go get it!

Lose weight? You look in shape to me?
Ohhh gotcha. Yes, I really started to eat at night and more sugar during the lockdowns. Luckily I stay active in gym, but I did put on about 10 lbs. Now that back work Iām eating less and better. You can do it, binge eating is no joke. When I was popping opiates my diet was crap, I would eat whatever and whenever, with a major sweet tooth. Cant wait to see your gains!

Despite 4 yrs of physical limitations/injury, I think Iām doing alright for myself. I always push to be better, and tend to be very hard on myself when Iām not going 100% - but I aim to be more compassionate and forgiving towards myself and my body. Sometimes āgoodā is good enough.
PS - you ever get nervous that someone is gonna catch you taking a mirror selfie
