Post-Depression Workout: I’m back!

#gym #gymgirl #healthylifestyle2024 #inspiration #selflove #bodypositivity #selfcare

👍Pros: I needed that. I’m investing in the body I want.

🤔Cons: this is going to hurt tomorrow 😩

2024/1/22 Edited to

After facing the challenges of depression, returning to the gym can feel both daunting and exhilarating. This article not only chronicles my first day back in the gym but also serves as a beacon of hope for others looking to revive their fitness journey. Starting with the right mindset is crucial. Remember that everyone's journey is unique, and it's essential to set realistic expectations. Embrace the discomfort that comes with exercising after a long break—muscle soreness is often just a sign of growth. Celebrate every small victory, whether it be lifting heavier weights or simply showing up to your workout. Consider incorporating elements that inspire your workout routine. From motivational playlists to engaging workout partners, find what fuels your passion for fitness. Reflect on why you began your journey in the first place; that purpose can drive you to keep pushing through tough days. In these moments of vulnerability, it's essential to practice self-care and self-love. Acknowledge your progress, regardless of how small it seems. Instead of focusing solely on physical appearance, recognize the mental and emotional strength you're cultivating through this process. As you invest in your health, surround yourself with supportive communities that share your goals, providing encouragement and inspiration. Remember, the journey to fitness is not merely about the destination but the growth you experience along the way.

Post Workout Meal After 1 hr. Weight Lifting 💪🏼💛

After a workout it is SO important to fuel your body back up - especially if you want muscle growth. During a lifting workout your muscle fibers tear in order to grow, so consuming protein right after a workout helps replenish those fibers and help them to grow in size / become lean muscle tissue.
