Day 48 of going to the gym
I feel fairly certain that the speed I’m walking on the treadmill is the speed people walk when in line at the DMV. My Apple Watch keeps asking if I’m done with my workout. No! I’m walking! See my heart rate?!!

Day 47 of going to the gym
No cold pool plunge to get me going this morning, I just went. This body reconditioning takes a long time which is tough for me. ADHD has never let me stick with a long term commitment. But I’m starting to feel differences even if I don’t actually see them yet.

Day 46 of going to the gym
My cardio is so bad!!!!-
I hit my target heart rate walking from the parking lot. The treadmill asks me if I want to warm-up and I’m like “bitch, are you mocking me?”

Day 45 of going to the gym
This week at the trainer we did HIIT (high intensity interval training) but modified and adapted for the elderly and weak. It’s what almost killed me at the beginning of September. I’m officially the slowest kid in the class that needs adaptations. #stillhatethegym

Day 45 of going to the gym
I asked ChatGPT what my heart rate should be on the treadmill. Apparently I have been pushing myself to the verge of death. I am going to slow it down because after all, AI told me to.

Day 44 of going to the gym
Did you know that there is a thing called a reverse lunge and it is easier on your knees? I do now! I did zero lunges today, forward, reverse, upside-down. No lunges doesn’t hurt at all!

Day 43 of going to the gym
No complaints today other than the same…my knee is killing me. I iced the put heat then iced all day. I am resting it for a day. I’m working out the difference between soreness and pain. Pretty sure it’s PAIN!!!

If the shoe fits, we have to wear it.

Day 42 of going to the gym. My knee really really hurts. But I feel really good but I have to mention…Day 1 of ADHD meds and I didn’t complain about going to the gym. I even got there early and warmed up. Positive life steps towards happiness can come from different forms of enrichment!

Day 41 of going to the gym
My knee really hurts!! I was also diagnosed with ADHD so tomorrow I’m going to the gym on meds, stay tuned!!

Same! Good movie.

Possibly institutionalized!

Day 40 of going to the gym
Technically not “the gym” because I’m out of town. So I used the hotel “gym.” I walked on the treadmill and sweated, so I’m counting it!

Day 39 of going to the gym
When the trainer says to you “good job coming today” you know you might be an underachiever. Maybe I need to do better.

Same!!

I agree! He duped me! I’m hoping they primary him! I’m also glad I’m not there anymore!

Day 38 of going to the gym
I tried the pool thing out again today, cold plunge still equals motivation! Now I need a pool beside my bed so I can just roll in first thing!

Day 37 of going to the gym
Today I got out of bed, went in the pool, and then went to the gym. Turns out, a cold plunge before a workout can be very motivating!

Day 36 of going to the gym
I worked hard and sweated hard. Yay me.

Day 35 of going to the gym
After last week’s utter fail of a training session, I knew that I had to make myself get through it today. Luckily, the trainer knew that too. She was very kind and I appreciate that. I still felt nauseous afterward, but not drop on the ground wanna puke nauseous so a win!

Day 34 of going to the gym
This raging voice inside my head kept saying “I don’t want to go” but outer being took control of the reins. I believe it’s called Faking it ‘til ya make it. Definitely faked it today.

Day 33 of going to the gym
I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I didn’t want to go, so getting there was the win!

Day 32 going to the gym
It sucked! I felt faint and nauseous so I left early. Apparently you should eat before you go.🤷‍♀️

Day 31 of going to the gym
I went, I biked, I hit my exercise goal for the day. I really have to set that goal higher because sometimes it’s just too easy. Going hasn’t gotten easier. Once I’m there I feel mission accomplished!

Day 30 of going to the gym
I also went to the dentist today and my side by side comparison is that the dentist puts you in a chair and reclines you. At the gym, this is frowned upon.

The gym has been closed down for today and tomorrow because of water issues!! This news made me so happy today.

Day 29 of going to the gym
I did squats and lunges today and now I’m a certified invalid. My knees are screaming for a wheelchair! I was told 30 days and I’d be in the groove. Honestly, it isn’t looking good at this point.

Day 28 of going to the gym
Just a tip: Don’t take four days off

Day 4 of NOT going to the gym
Why is this so easy?!

Day 3 of NOT going to the gym. This habit is much easier. Unfortunately it will probably kill me so back to the gym tomorrow. I think…
