I have lost the joy I used to have in working out. I still love the idea of being someone who lifts weights. I like that it became part of my identity. But it might be time to do something different for awhile.
I’m not changing anything just yet, but I think in a week or two I’m going to switch to walking and hiking as my primary exercise. I already do those of course, but they are the only parts of my physical activity I’m still enjoying so I might as well go whole hog.
I was scared to admit this to myself.
Do you ever deload or take a week off?
Sounds like over training...
But your plan sounds rather nice either way 💕2 -

I deload every fourth week. It was “supposed” to be every fifth but I learned to go with my body’s natural cycle. PMS and all that.
It used to be I hated to deload & only did it because it was good for me and after I was rarin to go. But it’s not working anymore. I don’t feel strong and refreshed after.
I love what lifting does. Hopefully I will love how it feels one day again.4 -

That I am still bothered by a comment made more than a year ago by a person I knew and trusted.
The conversation was talking about my past and my rather promiscuous nature as a college student. Keep in mind, not as promiscuous as I could have been or even as promiscuous as people who hung out at the bars and clubs downtown (was never my scene), but still, promiscuous enough to be judged in a semi-small, Midwestern college town.
The comment made was "You really were the village bicycle, huh?" This comment coming from someone who has slept with more women than they can count, who doesn't even remember their names and who was not aware (even though I told him at the time), that my choices were my own. They didn't pass me around like a rag doll, I willingly made my choices to be with each and every one of them and am not apologetic nor regretful of my choices. Each choice was safe and consensual and I am still in speaking contact with most of them, even if that door to the past has closed.
It just reinforces one of the many reasons I no longer talk to this person. Perhaps he only meant it as a comment, not intended to stick, but it stuck nonetheless. And funny thing is, if I had said the same (or similar) thing to him, he would have flown off into a sulking narcissistic rage and thought nothing of it.11 -

There's a million cliche things I could say to this, but none of them will take away the hurt your feel inside. Let this be a lesson to anyone that reads this in passing - hurtful words can never be taken back, do your best to think before you speak. *hugs*8 -
These people that I am in the workweek hustle challenge with are killing it. I sure hope they take a day, or three off! lol2

If someone’s a jerk just laugh it off and walk away hunni 🤗
But sometimes being petty feels sooooo good.

I was going to say you possibly couldn't pay any man enough to wear that. But obviously, they already did. Weirdest craziest *kitten* I ever saw on anybody, and living through the 60's and 70's I've seen some weird and crazy schtuff.1 -
Dementia really bites. It steals a little bit of your loved one's life away each day and leaves everybody feeling completely helpless.
How's that for a pick-me-up?6 -

Girl. I post a duplicate pic to this in my Snap stories on a bi-weekly basis. Only reason I don’t post weekly is because I’m embarrassed. This is a regular occurrence. But but BUT, I don’t run out! The worst one was a few months ago entering Minneapolis, highway, rush hour. That one made me a little nervous. 🙈
ROFL!!!! I just made it to the gas station. The truck started really vibrating rofl. To make things worse I can just see myself pushing the truck with heels Hahahaha. My March goal is to keep the tank at least half full! LOLOLOL1 -
