So I didn’t get in the gym but I did just finish this workout at home. I couldn’t fall asleep last night and I need all the sleep I can get.

I’m going to get a new mattress because fuck if the one we haven’t isn’t annoyingly soft.

Mobility work and getting in the gym

I’ve been working on my mobility the last week. While seeing the trainer at my gym once a week for the last three weeks.

We’ve mostly been working on fixing my form for certain exercises that I don’t feel where I should.

The mobility work has really made my hips feel better after just 3 sessions this week. The mobility exercises I’m doing at home on my own.

This week I am going to try to get in the gym 3 times. The trainer was supposed to have sent me a sheet of stretches and workouts to do on my own but she hasn’t. They lost a trainer at the gym abruptly so she has been busy covering. I get it and really don’t mind. I enjoy my own workout program anyway.

So the plan right now is getting in the gym tomorrow morning before work. I’m nervous 😭 it has been like 3 years since I’ve been in the gym (on my own without the trainer, I don’t consider these 1x a week sessions me being in the gym) 🥴 I’ve just been on and off doing dumbbell workouts at home.

But I’m also just ready to get back to it. It is truly an integral part for me to feel like myself. I don’t want to chalk up my depression to me not working out anymore but the timeline tracks. In 2022 I was diagnosed with depression and had stopped going to the gym. I tried doing workouts in the tiny basement we were living in but I couldn’t maintain it. So to me, the lack of exercise directly caused my depression. And also a little bit of living in a basement for two years.

Anyway, we’ll see how this goes.

Just finished up the fitness consultation. That was fun. I like the manager/trainer. I signed up for a 21 day challenge to meet with her once a week and then also try to get in the gym a total of 3x a week.

I think that’s doable.

We discussed some mobility issues I have and really overall she says I’m pretty mobile just stiff due to being sedentary with my job in recent years. Which tracks.

I’m hopeful.

Personal Training Consultation

So I signed up for a training consultation at my gym. The gym I’ve been a member of for one full year and have not been to since the day I signed up. 🙈

Up until this morning I had a some anxiety about going back to the gym. But this morning I realized I’m actually excited. I’m excited to get back into a routine. I’m excited to feel that euphoria from lifting weights. I’m excited to feel like myself again.

I’ve been wanting to get back in the gym but I couldn’t figure out a way to get past my mental block about it. So I decided trying a personal training session so that in addition to getting some advice, I can be shown around the gym. Because it has been about 3 years since I’ve been in a gym and this is an entirely new gym to me as well.

Anyway, I’m excited.
