Fitness Weekly Discussion
What have you been doing lately for your own fitness? Try out any new programs or exercises? Have any questions for others about your training? Want to vent about poor behavior in the gym? Started a new diet or have a new recipe you want to share? Anything else health and wellness related?
I wish I had more to add than just moping about how my decision to look for new work has stalled my lunchtime gym attendance at my current job. Like, I can't justify the annual membership if I leave, but I'm three months into looking and feeling flabbier and more sore because of it. What's a guy to do?
Sooooo, I very nearly severed the tip of my left thumb on Sunday while cutting vegetables (pic with bandage, and bandage off, showing stitches), and haven't been able to work out since then. And I probably won't be able to for another week or so until it heals sufficiently, which the ER Doc said should be 10-14 days. :(
I genuinely never thought that I would miss working out, but I honestly do. It's a weird feeling, and I'm finding myself surprisingly depressed about it, worried that now that my 9 month streak has been broken I won't be able to get back into it, and getting increasingly anxious to get back to the routine ASAP as a result. It also sucks because whenever things start going well for me I feel like I'm always just waiting for the other shoe to drop, and this was that inevitable shoe drop, I guess... Here's hoping it doesn't completely derail all the progress I've made over the last 9 months (mentally and physically). :(
