gym feels like too much chai/pressure??
Quote from Softspirit on April 25, 2019, 1:20 pmIt is 630 pm and I just came back from Walmart. Got the cheap protein bars for two dollars a piece. My lower back hurts from lifting Arjun. He is four and very heavy. I went to Planet Fitness today but felt so tired. The mirror there is too big and I did not like it. My husband says I drink too much chai. He says switch to black coffee. I tried it once. My head started shaking. So I went back to the sweetener packets. Now I feel guilty about sugar. But the gym feels like too much pressure. Everyone is lifting so big weights. I just want to walk. Is it normal to feel like this at my age?

Quote from Bronzehustle on December 8, 2019, 1:53 pmhonestly yeah its normal. my husband does this all the time. he just needs space to recharge without talking. i figured it out early so now i just let him be. go do my own thing while he sits in his cave. once he comes out he talks again. dont take it personal. its just how he processes stuff. works for us.

Quote from Silverfox1982 on May 24, 2020, 8:26 amLook I stopped trying to be spiritual all the time. It felt like work. Now I just drink water and walk outside. If I need to reset I sit quietly for five mins. No chanting no crystals. Just breathing. My peace comes from boundaries not rituals. Keep it simple. Rest when tired. Ignore the pressure to be enlightened. You dont owe anyone your energy.

Quote from Jules1984 on June 17, 2020, 8:03 amTotally feel this. I work in IT so I spend all day glued to screens anyway. Gym is just another isolating activity for me. I go to my local place near the office, grab a squat rack, listen to a podcast while lifting, then leave. No eye contact, no small talk. It’s efficient but yeah, super lonely. I usually just text my hype girl before and after. We don’t even workout together, just vent about heavy sets.

Quote from Donna1981 on November 18, 2020, 5:10 amomg i relate so hard. my ex did the same thig constantly. i would just make a mental note of every time he said one thing but did another. eventually the pattern became impossible to ignore. if his actions dont match his words then trust the actions. u deserve someone who just shows up consistently without u having to ask or play detective. its exhausting n u rnt alone.

Quote from Ringworks on October 19, 2020, 2:31 pmMire. Same here. Yesterday i was walking to get coffee and out of nowhere i started power walking like my life depended on it. No one was chasing me but i felt like it. Then i got home and just collapsed on the couch. I think its just the caffeine or maybe im losing my mind lol. Definitely need a siesta after these random bursts of energy. So confusing.

Quote from FreeWind on February 18, 2020, 7:16 pmyeah totally. i stop at 15 mins bc i feel like death after that. used to run easy then figured out my heart is just different now post, divorce and stress. don't push it too hard. if you’re exhausted that fast maybe your form is off or you’re going too fast for your current level. i just walk fast now and it’s enough.

Quote from Leafdam on May 13, 2020, 4:51 amGirl same. My doc said early perimenopause and i felt like dying. The hot flashes are wild and the brain fog is real. I just started taking vitamin d and magnesium plus trying to sleep more. It helps a little but its still rough. Yount alone tho. Just take it one day at a time.

Quote from waveditch on July 23, 2020, 5:34 pmi used to pay for one of those apps but stopped after a year. honestly the ads were more stressful than the calm sounds. now i just sit in my garden or listen to birds from the porch. doesnt cost a dime and feels just as peaceful. maybe we just need quiet time without the fancy tech telling us how to breathe.

Quote from Sandra1978 on July 19, 2020, 6:10 pmomg that is so rude. i always just ignore them cause usually theyre just distracted by their own workout. last week some guy kept staring so i just put my headphones on louder and kept moving. dont let it get under your skin really. just focus on ur set and pretend he doesnt exist. hope your day gets better tho
