why is my pr so stuck?? i am training twice as hard and still failing
Quote from Pollenwold on December 15, 2019, 6:15 pmI hit the same PR on the squat for the eighth week running. It is frustrating. I woke up at 5 am today to train. My youngest threw up on the floor so I was late. I missed my usual caffeine window. I felt sluggish the whole time. I spent twenty minutes cleaning up puke instead of reviewing my form notes. Gym was crowded. I had to wait six minutes for the rack. I pushed hard. My form felt solid. The plates stuck at the bottom again. I threw the weights down. I felt angry and tired. I bought a twenty dollar smoothie after because I skipped lunch. I am eating clean. I am sleeping seven hours. Is this normal? How do I break through when life keeps getting in the way?

I am tired after work. We keep it simple abhi. No drama, no extra stress. Just normal life. He agreed finally because I was firm. Don’t compromise your peace for his whim.

Quote from moonbeamstar1996 on January 15, 2020, 5:33 pmhonestly just keep it stupid simple. military life is stressful enough without trying to figure out a ten, step routine. i stick to ceraface cleanser, moisturizer, and spf 50. thats it. if my skin looks trash i just sleep it off. stop overthinking it. complicated routines are a trap. consistency beats intensity every time. just wash your face and slather on sunscreen. really.

Quote from Wise1976 on March 4, 2020, 6:06 pmOh honey that sounds awful. I quit the treadmill years ago. My knees just couldn’t take it anymore. Now I walk around the park near my house. Much nicer. Fresh air and sunshine. Try lowering the incline or speed. Or just stop. No point hurting yourself. Drink some water too. Feel better.

Quote from Scarletbell on September 22, 2020, 1:41 pmHoney dont try to force it. Lol, When im tired i just sit in my rocker for ten minutes and hold my rosary beads. No singing no chanting nothing. Sometimes i light one candle and just breathe. Thats enough. Spirit doesnt need a performance. Rest your legs. Youre doing fine even if u sit still all day. Love ya.

Quote from Citylights1996 on September 29, 2021, 3:08 pmi tell him if he wants it done his way he do it himself. I swear, we sit down and split chores right down the middle. no thank yous just duty. if i cook he cleans. if i fold he loads laundry. stop treating him like a guest. he lives here too. my tribal ways teach balance so i enforce it. if he complains i let him complain while i relax. his loss.

Quote from cheryl1970 on October 20, 2021, 3:52 amomg same here like seriously my feet are killing me after standing all day en el mercado. I just buy those gel insoles from la farmacia and they literally save my life. Also soaking feet en agua tibia con sal epsom helps a lot para el dolor. You gotta rest your feet honestly no matter what. Nosotras siempre caminando mucho but it hurts too much sometimes. Hope you feel better pronto because we need our feet working for everything.

Quote from willowtoken on August 6, 2021, 3:20 pmBabe take the nap. Seriously. My husband wants round two daily and I’m over it. I just tell him I’m dead to the world. We compromise on weekends. Rest is sacred at my age. If he’s mad he can sleep on the couch. Your energy is limited so spend it on yourself. Don’t feel guilty.

Quote from gentle1985 on November 24, 2021, 3:34 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.
