tired of trying to work out but my anxiety is so loud
Quote from Redfirefly1973 on March 29, 2024, 5:20 amThat sounds like a lot of work. I keep my husband happy on weekends so I can sleep in during the week. We also have kids so weekends are basically for family time anyway. If he wants that much energy maybe he can focus on his own hobbies. Honestly I just want to rest too. My body gets tired from work and looking after the house.

Quote from AmberFire on May 9, 2024, 10:38 amhonestly 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.

Quote from birdbond on May 5, 2024, 4:45 pmTotally 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 jadepollen on June 13, 2024, 1:13 amhe’s prob just high on the smoke lol. i burn white sage daily to clear my space so i always carry that scent. it’s not pheromones men it’s respect for the medicine. if he can’t handle the realness of your practice then he’s not right for you. don’t let him make you feel weird about your traditions. keep smudging.

Quote from rockwave on March 10, 2024, 1:32 pmMira, same here. The gym is a scam for me. I hate the smell, the mirrors, whatever. I just walk. Like, I put on my shoes and walk for 30 minutes while listening to podcasts. No sweating, no judgment. My neighbors think I’m crazy but at least I’m moving, si? Consistency? Please. I do what I can when I can. Some days it’s trash, others I walk more. It’s not perfect but it works for me.

Quote from Warmgarden1975 on March 21, 2024, 5:07 amOye girl same here omg. Lol, After those 3 hours meetings my knees feel like jelly seriously. I swear its the chair or just sitting too long. I literally stand up every 20 mins to stretch if I can. If not I just ice them later at home. Painkillers dont even help sometimes. Its super annoying but yeah normal for us. Take care of your self!

Quote from dorothy1982 on October 28, 2024, 6:16 pmI had to stop signing up for team sports where everyone relies on me to show up. Now I just go run by myself before work. If people dont wanna meet me outside, they can wait in the car or stay home. My workout is my workout. I dont have time or energy to babysit grown adults through their fitness journeys. It is exhausting and pointless. I focus on my pace and my goals only. Boundaries helped more than any new routine ever did.

Quote from Melissa on January 17, 2024, 5:29 amomg sis no you ain’t fd. i literally passed out in the squat rack once. it was embarrassing as hell but my heart just couldn’t keep up with the hype man in my head. just drink water, sit down, and breathe. nobody cares about you as much as you think they do. we all clowns in there anyway. take your time.

Quote from Nina1997 on September 19, 2024, 11:41 amyeah i get it. after juggling my kids i just dont have the energy to hit the gym. so i just do some gentle stretches in my living room while watching tv. helps my back from holding them all day. dont feel guilty about skipping the intense stuff rn. resting is valid too. we survive by doing what we can. hope you get some peace tonight.

Quote from Glentoken on December 7, 2024, 10:23 pmHonestly I think it’s both. My knees hurt all the time but my spirit feels heavy too. I just sit on the porch with my coffee and let God handle the worry. Y’all need to rest more. Not everything needs fixing today. Just breathe and take it one hour at a time. I’m trying to stop doing so much for everybody else.
