"From Beirut to Brooklyn: One Invisible Stretch Mark at a Time"
Quote from Dancequeen2003 on February 8, 2021, 11:50 pmHoney I just started with walking. My knees dont allow for much else anyway. I put on my good shoes and go round the block after supper. That 15 minutes is better than nothing. Dont stress about weights or running, just get moving. My pastor says God gave us legs to use em so I do my part and let Him handle the rest. Yall keep at it.

Quote from CliffraIN on September 20, 2021, 6:37 pmI quit last year. Joined in Jan, went 3 times. Gifted my card to my mom who also doesn't go. Now I just walk the dog aggressively around the block. My calves aren't toned but my bank account is thicker. If you're paying monthly just to sweat guilt, stop. The money feels better than leg day ever did.

Quote from Ruth1966 on August 12, 2021, 1:53 amsame honestly. Tbh, yesterday i just walked on the treadmill listening to a podcast for 20 mins then left. felt crazy not lifting but my brain was fried from work. sometimes my body just needs to move without trying to kill itself. dont be so hard on yourself. consistency beats intensity every time anyway.

Quote from Sam1967 on September 9, 2021, 5:02 pmI just soak in hot bath with epsom salts every night after leg day. Helps so much. Also stretch super slow before sleeping. Don’t ignore the pain though. If it keeps hurting talk to doc. I got hurt once pushing too hard. Now I rest when I need to. Listen to body. Sometimes less is more.

Quote from Oceanwaves1966 on March 22, 2021, 7:32 pmyup same. i do high impact stuff so my knees are basically shot. after sunday service i literally have to ice them for an hour straight. it sucks but hey, pain is temporary right. just keep moving and take some ibuprofen if you have to. dont let it stop you from hitting the gym tomorrow. we got this.

Quote from goldclay on January 18, 2022, 8:23 amnah not weird at all i work two jobs up here in the hills and by the time i get home i just want to sit on the porch and stare at the mountains. my husband gets it too we are basically roommates sometimes and thats fine. dont let anyone make you feel guilty for being tired. rest is important.

Quote from GoldSilk on September 25, 2022, 7:43 amomg same here like seriously my feet are killing me after standing all day en el mercado. I just buy those gel insoles from la farmacia and they literally save my life. Also soaking feet en agua tibia con sal epsom helps a lot para el dolor. You gotta rest your feet honestly no matter what. Nosotras siempre caminando mucho but it hurts too much sometimes. Hope you feel better pronto because we need our feet working for everything.

Quote from Christina1986 on June 27, 2022, 1:20 pmi literally just stopped asking him to do anything. if i need something done i do it myself or hire a babysitter for an hour. my sanity is worth more than his participation. dont wait around for him to step up he wont. lower your expectations to zero and stop explaining what you need. it just saves everyone the drama.

Quote from RubyDusk on June 21, 2022, 2:19 pmI just say no and stop explaining myself. My body, my rules. If he cant handle that we done. I used to feel bad but now I see it as lazy communication on my part. You dont owe anyone access to yourself. Just be clear and consistent. If guilt creeps in remind yourself that you are allowed to rest too.

Quote from Pam1971 on July 1, 2022, 5:14 pmhonestly that is wild. i dont smell anything different but my guy says i smell like vanilla when Im pregnant. weird how bodies change. i just take extra showers and use unscented soap to be safe. dont let him drive you crazy over something you cant control. just wash up and go about your day. its not your fault.
