tired of trying to work out but my anxiety is so loud
Quote from Sandra1966 on October 27, 2019, 1:54 pmi bought a gym membership at planet fitness near o'hare last month for thirty dollars a month. i went twice. last tuesday i tried to go at 530 pm after dropping my niece off for soccer practice. i stood in the parking lot for ten minutes. my heart was pounding so hard i could hear it. i kept thinking what if i do the cardio machine wrong and everyone stares. what if i miss a set. what if i just collapse. i drove home and ate cold pizza while watching the news. i feel so stupid. i want to be healthy but the noise in my head stops me before i even leave the house. i am tired of paying for something i dont use. does anyone else struggle with this or am i just crazy.

Quote from Lucky1965 on September 11, 2019, 3:13 pmHoney i think you just got too much on your feet all at once. My back kills me after even ten minutes on the sidewalk now. I stretch like crazy when i get home and then just lie down with a heating pad on my lower back. Make sure your dog isn pulling you off balance too. Rest up.

Quote from crimsonlegend on March 28, 2019, 1:23 pmsame. i just ice it after work and take arnica tablets because my mom says pills are poison. also stretch before bed even though i hate it. honestly just resting lets the inflammation die down mostly. i wear compression sleeves too. its annoying but i try to avoid ibuprofen unless its absolutely necessary. my knees are wrecked from too much sitting all day. just baby them i guess.

Quote from glenvow on July 22, 2019, 10:47 ami feel u. honestly just skip the complicated stuff. i wash face with cetaphil, slap on the ordinary niacinamide serum, put on cerave pm night cream, and throw on sunscreen in the morning. that s it. no fancy tools, no ten step korean routine. sometimes less is literally more. stop stressing and just keep it simple. your skin will thank you for not picking at it.

Quote from WildWish on July 10, 2020, 3:19 pmhonestly i stopped keeping score years ago. Tbh, now i just buy myself flowers and go get lunch with my best friend. we laugh about it over coffee. he gets the silent treatment until he remembers next time. dont waste your energy crying over it. treat yourself instead. my husband forgot our 30th too. i just changed the subject and ordered pizza. life goes on.

Quote from WarmhaIL on August 4, 2020, 10:12 pmnah man that sounds like purly weak abs or bad shoes fr. i used to get killed in the lower back til i started doing deadbugs every morning. also check your arch support. walking 3 miles on concrete with flat soles is gonna wreck u. i switch to my asics now and stretch my hip flexors right after. it helped so much.

Quote from alice2003 on September 23, 2020, 1:01 amGirl same. I look at him and my brain just goes offline. I say baby not tonight I can barely lift my head off the pillow. He actually started getting the hint after I threatened to move to the guest room every night. Now we do like twice a week and I feel like a better person about it. Rest is priority rn.

Quote from crimsonmyth on March 1, 2021, 9:04 amHoney, I skipped my walk today. Just sat on the porch with sweet tea instead. My knees were aching and the humidity was already setting in. Dont let guilt run your life. Drink some water, put on comfy clothes, and rest up. Tomorrow is a new day to try again if you want to.

Quote from evelyn1992 on October 30, 2021, 1:31 ammy husband used to think sex was a daily maintenance task. Ngl, we compromised on wednesdays and sundays. honestly the rest of the week I just wanted horizontal time. if he cant get off to schedule tell him the bedroom is closed for renovation until further notice. sleep is non negotiable for me now.

Quote from DuskLinen on October 15, 2021, 3:33 pmHoney, mine is dead too. My husband snores like a chainsaw so we just sleep. Honestly, I find more joy being alone with a glass of wine or reading a book. It's just life at this stage. Don't beat yourself up about it. We're grandmas now, not models. Enjoy the peace and quiet.
