gym is just expensive place to sit and sweat
Quote from Dawnblockhouse on February 21, 2020, 4:14 pmWent to Planet Fitness at 6 pm last night. Paid my 10 dollars a month again. Just watched the tv on the treadmill for 40 minutes. My back hurts from sitting at my desk all day but I am too tired to actually run. Saw a guy drop his weights and nobody helped him. Just everyone staring at their phones. I bought a starbucks after because I was cold. Feels like a scam to pay for air conditioning. My neighbor said yoga is cheaper but I dont have a mat. Does anyone actually work out there or is it just a lounge for people who want to look busy.

Quote from Cottonwatch on January 21, 2020, 5:23 amomg seriously?? five minutes is barely enough time to settle in. my bf does this too and lowkey it’s kinda stressful. i just tell him i’m not ready yet and need to actually relax first. feels like a race sometimes. if he keeps pushing i’d honestly be confused bc like come on. give us a second to breathe ykno

Quote from ruth2000 on March 23, 2020, 10:46 pmim a teacher too so i totally get this. Honestly, its not just you. i keep a big water bottle on my desk and force myself to drink from it all day. dehydration hits hard in the afternoon. i also try to eat a small snack with protein around 2pm like a handful of almonds or string cheese. it helps keep my energy from crashing so hard at the end of the day.

Quote from willoworchard on January 27, 2021, 4:16 amI literally just slide the dishes into the dishwasher over his shoulder while he’s still in the shower. He knows if he leaves them for more than ten minutes they disappear, so he cleans them as he goes now. I tried talking about it for a year and nothing changed until I just handled it myself and stopped asking since then it’s been smooth sailing. Hope that helps keep some sanity.

Quote from Wildrout on December 21, 2021, 1:38 amI just started throwing mine out. Waste is cheaper than the headache. If he wants lunch he can make it. I used to nag about it too but honestly I’m done fighting over food scraps. My sanity is worth more than a decent container of pasta. Just live with it or toss it.

Quote from Snowmetaphor on November 28, 2021, 12:49 pmOh honey same here lol. I tried my first yoga retreat last year and spent half the class waddling around. I just sit on a folded towel now and let it all go. No fancy props needed. My knees click like a geiger counter but at least I get some quiet time to drink tea. Keep going dear.

Quote from Kindisland on January 9, 2021, 1:45 amyeah it is. i limit how many things i say yes to now. last week i just told a parent i cant help with their child after hours. felt so weird saying no but did it anyway. im done carrying everyone else emotional baggage while grading papers. just doing the bare minimum for anyone who isnt my immediate family these days.

Quote from Honeybee1996 on November 8, 2021, 9:35 amStop doing 45 min sessions. Honestly, My knees gave out from that. Now i do 20 min walks after dinner. Just move. Hydrate more too. Dehydration makes u feel like crap after exercise. Drink water before and after. Simple. Dont overcomplicate it. If u feel worse check form or intensity. Lower weight. Consistency beats intensity every time.

Quote from staraction on November 2, 2021, 9:11 pmfr that is wild. like say it louder for the people in the back. i just tell him exactly what i want and how i want it. no games. if he doesnt like it hes not trying hard enough. my guy knows his place and knows how to please me because i made it clear years ago. keep that energy. dont let him gaslight you into thinking ur needs are too much.
