why does 10k steps feel like punishment today
Quote from Silverhustle on June 19, 2020, 11:40 amIt is 8pm and I just got home. My day started at 630am with dropping off Leo at school. He forgot his permission slip again so I had to drive back to the elementary school. Then I was at Whole Foods for forty minutes deciding which brand of almond milk was on sale. The cart wobbled the whole time. My feet hurt immediately. I went to my office downtown and sat in a meeting for three hours. The chair there is terrible for my lower back. I walked to Union Square for lunch because I needed air. The wind was cold. Now I am staring at my watch. It says 9800 steps. I need two hundred more to hit my goal. My legs feel like jelly. I am too tired to move but too annoyed to stop. My husband is making tacos which is good. But I cannot just sit down yet. Why does hitting the daily step count feel like a chore now instead of a win?

Quote from calmscale on September 29, 2020, 10:34 pmok hi so im in my 20s but low energy is real for me too lol. growing up helping my mom with the household stuff before school drained me. now i just drink way more water and take a 20 min nap after lunch if i can. also stopped trying to be productive every.single.hour. its not impossible but you gotta listen to your body. rest is part of the work.

Quote from Citylights1971 on August 12, 2020, 11:03 pmSachi kaho, I had a guy like that too. He said sweet things but never showed up. I waited once, twice, then just left. Actions are truth, words are just air. If he wanted to be with you, he would make space, not excuses. Don t waste your time waiting for him to change. Pack your bags mentally and see what you want for yourself. Trust your gut, sister.

Quote from citylights1968 on July 27, 2020, 6:54 pmhaan gym mehnat hai. I go 4 days a week. Lift heavy things, run on treadmill for 20 mins. No fancy classes. Just me and the machine. Sometimes body hurts next day but I keep going. It is not fun always. But I feel strong after. My husband says too much exercise. I say no, need to stay healthy for kids. Simple routine works for me.

Quote from Andrea1979 on October 21, 2020, 3:03 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 Cheryl1996 on August 11, 2020, 5:38 amSame here. My ex wanted nonstop. Now I’m single and if a guy asks for more than once a week I’m out. I spend my free time napping, reading, or drinking wine on the patio. Zero sex drive since the divorce. If he’s tired he can go sleep. I had enough of being someone’s hobby. This peace is worth more than any hookup. Just let him figure it out.

Quote from Victoria1977 on November 15, 2021, 7:36 amugh same here. i literally could not move after sitting through hours of teachers explaining why my son needs more support. my brain is completely fried and my spirit is low. im just gonna sit on the couch tonight in sweatpants and eat takeout. no cooking, no cleaning, just pure silence. if u need to vent about the exhaustion hit reply. we deserve a break after all that mental load.

Quote from frances1987 on July 15, 2021, 6:31 amHonest truth is most of us are faking it. I used to think sleep fixed everything until I got my iron and vitamin D levels checked. Turns out I was just running on empty. Eight hours of sleep doesnt help if your body is fighting a deficiency. Go see a doctor and ask for blood work before buying another fancy pillow.

Quote from Truemarsh on February 27, 2021, 12:31 pmHoney I just keep pushin on. I stop drinkin coffee after noon cause it wrecks my sleep. Then I just rest my feet up and listen to the Word while I knit. Ain t nothing you can do about it but breathe through it. My grandma said this is just the price of admission for survivin this long. So I just take it day by day y all.
