So um...
I've glanced at this topic here and there but never really had anything to say. I guess because of my inconsistency. I have a pretty bad hip, and I'm not in the best spot weight wise either. Those combinations alongside my depression have been... an uphill battle to say the least. But 2024 was the year I starting making more of an effort. I was pretty flakey in the first few months, but I starting going to the gym a bit more consistently in April.
This month, I've been going to the gym a lot consistently. I genuinely feel like I'm improving, I've also been taking up yoga (DDPY). I'm feeling more confident for sure. I don't exactly have a 'battle plan' of sorts, mostly just been winging it in terms of what exercises I do. But I'm making this the year I take control back of my health.
Hell yeah! Keep it up.
Consistency and the discipline to keep going is the hardest thing to achieve, imo. Motivation will only get you so far, so you have to learn to hunker down and just do it. Once you find things to enjoy about it, whether it's caveman brain of numbers going up and down, or just the feeling of now you are improving, getting better, getting healthier, it's a lot easier to maintain.
