✨ A Little Vulnerability before I get to the essentials✨
😩How happy relationship weight made me miserable:
While it’s wonderful to feel loved for whatever I am, I no longer feel like myself when I look in a mirror. As shallow as it might seem; it’s important that I like the version of me in the mirror. I miss loving clothes, feeling energized, and mentally clear. I get all that from a 60min gym visit. SIMPLE!
That’s why I decided to get my butt to the gym.
🧐My Takeaways:
The gym has become my personal space where I can get an hour or two of peace. Not saying I hate being with my partner, but It’s good to have your own hobbies and time away. Not to mention exercise is crazy good for mental health- for all my anxiety girls out there.
Anyways here are my gym bag favs:
✨Dollar Tree $3 towels. Why waste good towels for the shower at the gym. If I loose em it’s no biggie
✨JBL noise canceling headphones. A god send 🙏
✨Compact, pumpable travel toiletry bottles
✨Lumé body wash!!!! Acidified to get all gross smell off you.
✨SHOWER SHOES (dollar tree flip flops) don’t put your bare feet in a public shower 🤢
✨Foot Powder to keep your feet dry and fresh
If you find yourself feeling a lack of energy or confidence, incorporating a well-rounded workout routine can make a significant difference. Exercise isn't just about physical appearance; it plays a vital role in mental health, reducing anxiety and providing a sense of achievement. Let's explore some key elements of a workout routine that can help you not only feel good but also enhance your overall well-being. Firstly, setting aside dedicated time for exercise helps in creating a consistent healthy habit. This can include activities you enjoy, whether it’s cardio, strength training, or even dance workouts. Additionally, consider the importance of recovery days. Allowing your body to rest is crucial. On these days, engaging in light activities, such as walking or yoga, can aid in muscle recovery and improve flexibility. Remember, your workout space should feel like a personal retreat. Whether your gym is at home or in a public space, creating a positive environment can further motivate you. Moreover, having the right gear makes a difference. From sneakers that provide comfort and support to outfits that make you feel confident, investing in quality gym clothing can boost your performance. Don't forget the importance of hydration and nutrition before and after workouts, as they significantly affect your energy levels. Lastly, embrace the journey and celebrate small victories along the way. Fitness is not just a destination; it's a lifelong journey of improving yourself, both physically and mentally. So, pack your gym bag with these essentials, including your favorite headphones, recovery items, and motivational gear, and head out to make your workout both enjoyable and transformative!
