This is not me. This is my cat Keanu. Just to make something clear
I recently went back to the gym so my lazy body would be forced to adapt to the new activities and produce more energy and some happy chemicals for my brain. I was so excited at the first session, of course, as it's now time to do something "new" again and it's finally time to get healthy!
After a few days was actually fine and I got some bruises (cos martial arts) and swelling but I still was able to maintain the level of energy I had in my first day.
Now after a week tho, I feel my body pulling me to bed for 2 days in a row. It's like my body's challenging me to stop going to the gym and it's my mind again being my worst enemy. I have actually expected this to happen cos it also happened years ago when I was still going to the gym. The first month is usually the hardest time.
I also think maybe I'm not eating enough yet to cover for the calories that I've burned, which expectedly your body will feel more tired than usual. I'm doing a lot of cardio atm which I think is the best way for me to get healthy since I feel like I'm not producing enough oxygen for my body and will help me with my anemia. I haven't consulted a doctor for it tho lol but I should really do so, soon.
I actually noticed I lost some fats after just 3 sessions at the gym. I know. So fast, that even my friends noticed it. I didn't lose weight technically tho, since the weighing scale says so but it's probably burned the fats and replacing it with muscle growth or whatever (hope so). My goal is actually to gain weight so I will need to do some resistance training as well since I'm doing intense cardio lol.
And why intense cardio? Cos I like martial arts lol. So like even if I don't gain much weight it's still gonna be fine as long as I enjoy what I'm doing.
Anyway, I will definitely do my best to change my eating habits. I bought a blender so I could make some healthy smoothies so I could just swallow them cos chewing seems like a chore lol. I absolutely love it!!! The fruits with milk and ice taste so good and all I have to do is swallow????? I can't believe I didn't buy a blender before. I can't wait to try out some new recipes for smoothies!
Right now my swelling is gone and I should be able to see some defined abs soon! :PPP HAVE FUN BEING JEALOUS OF MY SOON-ABS BITCHES
Do you feel this way after starting a new physical activity or I'm just doing something wrong here?
Do you have any tips on how to conquer this?
