Never give up

Today's mood:

I hate the plank

Today's mood:
Beating expectations

Felt a twinge in my shoulder during warm ups, decided to take it easy. Low and behold, was feeling some exercises more than others, and set some personal bests anyway.

Its not always about what you expect, its how you choose to push the moment forward

Feels like progress, but I know I need to be more consistent. This week is about sticking to commitment.

Not really much for motivation today, just powering through.

Hopefully feeling more motivated for future workouts

After being sick and weather keeping me cooped up, finally back at the gym

Today is gonna be getting back into the habit without overdoing it, lets get it

Today's hurdle:
I forgot my earbuds at home

Tuning out the gym music in order to focus on myself, channel my strength instead of letting my music carry me.

We perservere

Today's theme:
Finishing strong

For me, this week I was more motivated than ever to get back into the gym. I wanted to go 3 times, no less, no excuses.

Fuethermore, I'm making this Friday about pushing til the end, making sure that after each set I am ay my limit.

Push yourself 💪

Today's thoughts: priorities

In an especially good mood today

Although I want to get to diamond in Marvel rivals, today we instead hit the gym.

When I've got friends also working out tonight the chats with them is keeping my spirits up, and I'm far more motivated for my health than games today

Today's mental:
Dealing with anger

Something I heard right before leaving for the gym really set me off. Much as I want to unpack what I'm feeling, for now I need to channel my energy at the gym.

Anger can be a powerful tool but I dont want that energy to carry me, I need to be strong without it.

Today's motivation:
Facing one's fears

I've twinged my knee 2 or 3 times the past 2 months, always on squats. I'm not sure if its my form, but its never pleasant.

Although I skipped squats to rest up, today I am doing them again. Pushing myself to keep trying needs to be the norm.

Today's mentality: moderating when pushing oneself

I got plans to snowboard this weekend, and the last thing I want to do is hurt myself.

Today we are acknowledging that I am rusty at a sport, and although its leg day we dont want to demolish ourselves for the weekend ahead.

Power, but not 100%

Today, we left much later than we wanted to.

But we left

And we made it to the gym

And we are here to work out

And sometimes just that, is enough

Today's challenge: wanting to want to improve.

Ive been struggling to get to the gym more than once a week since the year started, and its been a mental block more than anything.

Going to workshop what made me get into the habit the first time and try to channel it once again to get my swing back

Today's workout mentality: going for failure.

In 2024, I was scared of disappointment if I failed anything workout related. After some fitness advice, I realize the real progress comes from reaching your breaking point in order to surpass it.

Dont do what you can, do until you can't anymore.

Was surprised to see sports was a topic to find accounts on Bsky but not fitness. Feels like a no brainer to include it

Hello Bluesky! I'm a lifelong gamer that just got into fitness & although its only been a few months, I'm excited to keep pushing forward with it!

I chose the green leaf avatar to symbolize the growth I hope to achieve on this journey, and I will be posting here as a bit of a journal of my progress
