I feel like such a failure, I haven't done anything in like two weeks. Working out makes me super uncomfortable. I feel fine when it's done, but I'm so so so very uncomfortable while I'm doing it. Dunno what to do about it :\

Like, at the gym? Because I'm the same way... I'm somewhat self conscious about it I guess, lol. It feels unnatural to me too since I've never been like a gym person. Luckily, we do have an elliptical at our house, and we have a bike and weights, so I don't HAVE to go to the gym -- I only do some days when I just wanna switch things up. But I always just keep my headphones in and watch a show or movie on Netflix while on the treadmill or whatever, and focus on that.

No, I only do stuff at home. Can't afford the gym.

Uncomfortable how? Like pain or just feel weird doing it?

[Julee]

Both. All of the different exercises and stuff have super horrible memories for me and make me panic a tooon. Stuff like agility, swimming, and horseback riding I can do and do happily, but I'm not in a position where I'm able to currently.

What kinds of exercise are you doing?

[Julee]

Right now, treadmill, planks, push ups, crunches. Exercise in general reminds me of gym class, which reminds me of school, which is bad. School was bad. I hate thinking of school.

Have you tried any workout videos? It is still exercise but not generally anything like gym class at school. Like I do turbo jam which is super fun. Good music, punching, kicking, dancy and fun . Chalean johnson is the instructor and her attitude is contagious.

It's the kind of thing where you can just sort of get lost in the tunes and the punching and kicking makes you feel powerful like a warrior lol

I haven't. I don't really have spare cash kicking around for something I might do for a few days and find that it has the same effect, y'know?
