Thank you very much! Some days are easier to get up then others but a routine really helps me keep focused! And yea I definitely feel great after and more clear for work then just getting up and straight to work!
Got back into the happy place today after a few weeks of just insane depression and nothing going… Deadlifts haven’t suffered for the break. And I got to make the smaller movements heavier. Grateful for this practice and a body that works with me, not against.
So glad to hear that ur back doing something u love
Day 12 done.
- Did 3 rounds of July Challenge
(3x 9 pushups, 26 crunches, 30 weighted squats) - 3 x 300 skips
- 20 min incline run
Have been exhausted and in a slump emotionally this week but trying to push through, I’d be alot worse off without the exercise…
Big day today! 80 days sober! Celebrating with a 430am gym sesh! Today’s workout is my favorite of all! Arm and shoulder day!!! Stay motivated and as always one day at a time!!!
Hit a pb of 345lb for squats! Only goes up from here!!! I would have never pushed myself as hard as I am now while I was drinking!
Hill training run for a relay in NC this fall! Contrary to popular belief, you CAN find hills in Florida
LOL at all the gnats stuck to my neck…
btw ladies: I carry this alarm with me whenever I run alone - lightweight and loud AF!

I miss my gym lol
I’m back in business! Just busted out a great 30 minute full body workout and feeling my spirits lifted as heck honestly.
Remembering where I’ve been and where I am right now, doing the stuff even when I’m down. Had a moment but here it is
Busted out a good 20 minutes of full body workout! Didn’t write it out bc last minute & late but still feels good to stick with it and do the thing honestly
Day 16 of my July Challenge.
Added my own exercises to the daily tasks to create a circuit. Probably should have done 3 rounds but it’s Saturday night here and I’m tired lol.
Easing my body back into stuff with a short run and a virtual this morning man, I missed my workout endorphins
Monday - Did upper body today. Already feeling sore in my arms. Getting abit better feeling back muscles when I do exercises so that’s good. My dumbbell weights have also increased overtime. Sometimes I surprise myself haha it’s a good sign I guess. Tmrw is cardio and I’m looking forward to that!
Still keeping committed to my July Challenge.
- Sunday was my rest day.
- Yesterday (Monday) I did the circuit from Saturday as I enjoyed it so much.
- Today (Tuesday 19th) I did a 30 min run, 500 skips and 2 x rounds of 11 push ups, 38 crunches and 40 weighted squats (July daily challenge).
Physically feeling ok, but mentally I’m going through a really sad and flat phase… trying my hardest to push through and fake it until I make it. Really hoping it passes soon as its a shitty way to be feeling…
I’m sorry you are feeling sad.
Those leggings are fire
Thank you, they’re my favs because I like leggings to go just below my knee.
Staying physically active will not make your emotional funk any worse. That’s where the thinking leg of the thoughts/feelings/actions is important. You can decide to act even when you don’t feel like acting. Good for you!
