Happy 1-Month (almost)
As I close in on nearly a month of getting back into the gym, it’s surprising how quickly time has flown by. It doesn’t even feel like it’s been that long, yet my body is definitely reminding me of the effort I’ve been putting in. From the soreness after each workout to the satisfaction of hitting new milestones, this journey has been both challenging and rewarding. I’ve been sticking to a routine of three days on and one day off, which has kept me consistent while also giving my body time to recover.
One thing I’ve noticed is how my body has started to sort of adapt to the workouts. The first couple of weeks were tough, with every muscle screaming for mercy, but now there’s a sense of progress. The exercises that felt uncomfortable at the beginning are starting to feel more manageable, and I’m a lot more motivated to keep pushing. It’s a reminder that progress takes time, and the little victories are worth celebrating.
The gym itself has its ups and downs. I’ve found that it can get pretty crowded, which sometimes throws off my routine and focus. There’s nothing more frustrating than waiting for a machine or trying to find space in a packed weight room. Because of this, I’ve realized that mornings are the best time to go, especially when it’s quieter, and I can focus on my workout without distractions. Unfortunately, my schedule only allows me to take advantage of the early morning calm on weekends, but those days have quickly become my favorite times to hit the gym.
Despite the challenges of finding the best time to work out and the initial aches and pains, this routine has become something I look forward to. The structure of three days in the gym followed by a rest day keeps me on track and motivated. The rest days are crucial, giving me a chance to recharge both mentally and physically, so I’m ready to hit it again with full energy. It’s a balance that’s working well for me, and I’m excited to see how much further I can go.
I did not hit my one-month mark yet, I still have about 4 day. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made. It’s been a journey of rediscovering my strength and resilience, and even though it hasn’t been easy, it’s been worth every drop of sweat. There’s a long road ahead, but with each day, I’m building a routine that’s not just about physical fitness but also about commitment and self-care. The gym is becoming a part of my life again, and I’m eager to see where this path leads.
