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!!!
Loaded all of this shit in a uhaul (90 bags of concrete 60 pounds each) 31 6x8 fence panels, 32 8’ 4x4 for fence post and a shit ton of treated lumber the heavist was a 16’ 6x6) AND then i got to unload it at my house
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.
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!
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…
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!
Exactly, 100% agree!
For me, moving my body, above all else, is for my mental health. The physical benefits really are a bonus. Exercise literally keeps me sane and it’s so important to push myself on the days I least want to do it.
Very similar to how I handle recovery and sobriety - I’ve never woken up and regrettednot drinking the night before… I’ve never finished a workout and regretted doing it. Well except the death by burpee challenge… that one is in a league of its own
Day 86 of sobriety and it was back Day! Had a PB of 365lb! I’m now deadlifting more then I squat! Pushing myself harder everyday to go heavier and keep my mind on the path of this new found clarity! Stay motivated and as always one day at a time!
