Here's the thing.... for almost a month I have been struggling to get to the gym. I hyper extended my knee during pride, I went from working Pride fest to ABQ Fringe (which I absolutely loved), to having long and exhausting work days.... needless to say ive been feeling super burnt out. Ive also been battling my severe anemia, which hopefully will get under control soon (pending Dr's. Appts).
My depression somehow crept up in the midst of everything and I have been battling the mental game of going to the gym after the day is done.

Today I almost fell into the bad routine of going home and saying "I'll do it tomorrow."

Not today. When I say I Forced myself.. I FOOORRRCCCCED myself to just change into my gym clothes and drive to the gym.

I am BEYOND thrilled that I went today. It kicked started my good routine back up and I feel loads better. I also didn't push myself too hard, which at times I have a hard time not doing.

Life is hard. Struggles happen. Depression likes to be more presente. Keep going. Those small victories lead to bigger ones ❤️ 💪
