Quote from Ivorypetal on March 19, 2024, 8:59 pmsame girl. i swear my treadmill is worse than my ex. i started walking backwards on it just to mess with my brain and its actually working. also watching trash tv while i do it so i dont have to think about the monotony. if you feel like your gonna puke just stop. dont push through it. my knees already hate me enough. also chicago winter makes me wanna never leave the house so this is my compromise.

Quote from Ruth1996 on March 19, 2024, 8:59 pmSame here. I skip the meditation apps. Just take ibuprofen, put on compression socks, and lie flat for 20 mins. Hot shower helps too. Dont try to fix it instantly. Just rest properly. My lower back is killing me from coding all week so I know the pain. Keep pushin through but dont ignore the ache. Eat something salty too.

Quote from fordbrake on January 7, 2024, 1:22 amHusband thinks I’m crazy for needing quiet too. I leave the house every Saturday morning. Go to the library or just sit in my car. He complains but I don’t care. If I don’t get that hour to myself I snap. My peace isn’t negotiable. You do you. Don’t let him guilt trip you into losing your mind.

Quote from Craftqueen1967 on October 2, 2024, 12:36 pmi sleep 7 hours and still feel like a zombie. my doctor says i’m fine but my energy is shot. i just drink black coffee and survive on sheer willpower until 3pm. then i crash hard. maybe it’s just age or burnout. i stopped trying to fix it and just accepted my low battery mode. dinner is usually takeout because cooking requires too much effort.

Quote from soccermom1982 on January 3, 2024, 3:46 pmyeah 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 bluebirdsky1998 on September 13, 2024, 4:54 pmI honestly just walk on the treadmill and read audiobooks. For real, If I try to lift weights with the bros I look like an idiot anyway so I just dodge them. Also the laundry situation is a nightmare so I bring extra clothes. I hate the smell of the place but at least I can zone out and not talk to anyone which is probably why I do it.

Quote from winglegend on November 9, 2024, 2:41 pmHonestly same. Lol, I push myself too hard thinking I need to mirror the girls on insta. Then Im dead. Now I just do 20 mins steady cardio. No heavy lifting. Wash up, drink big glass of water with dates. Then I nap for 30 mins. Wake up like a new person. Stop trying to be perfect. Just show up. Your body will thank u.

Quote from Stormmoat on April 22, 2024, 11:08 amHaha omg same. For real, I swear these leggings just hug every single bit of fat. Just bought new pair and feel bloated already. Honestly think its bloat from eating carbs after gym or just holding water. My scale went up 2kg yesterday but looks the same. So annoying. Just drink more water and ignore the mirror for 2 days. We good right

Quote from Spiritgorge on March 27, 2024, 12:37 pmwe moved 3 times last year. I swear, my husband thinks moving boxes is mans work but folding shirts is mine. i let the living room pile up. he complained once then carried the trash to curb himself. dont cook fancy food on day 1. order pizza. if house isnt perfect but kids are fed and beds are made thats win in my book. survival mode is real for immigrant moms.

Quote from Creektoken on August 12, 2024, 5:14 pmArre listen, coding means sitting like statue. That is why gas stuck. I also face same problem when I work on laptop for hours. First thing, drink hot water with lemon every morning. And eat more salad, no plain rice only. Walk for 10 mins every 2 hours. My husband also suffer from this. He started doing yoga stretch in evening. It helps very much. Try it.
