Back to the gym
There have been four days in a row I did not go to the gym. It was a mixture of getting my hair permed, where I cannot sweat for 48 to 72 hours, and also me being pretty badly sick. My head has been hurting, I am coughing like crazy, I’m fatigued, and my body aches. I honestly didn’t want to go to the gym today, partially because by the time I got home it was 8 PM. But I ended up forcing myself to go, and even though I felt super weak at first, like I was struggling with what is usually just a complete pointless warm-up of bench pressing a plate, I persisted. I also started a new workout split, and it was honestly more volume than I was prepared for. I took it a little bit easy, but still? And for the first time in a while I feel good about my body again. I also physically feel honestly pretty good after that which I’m happy for. I’m really proud of myself for reminding myself that it doesn’t need to be perfect but it matters that I go.
