Sick again for the past couple of weeks. Every time I try to get back in the swing of things, I have some sort of life interruption. Which derails me for a few more weeks. I'm so sick of this.

16 min. of cardio machines- some weird steppy thing for 10 and a treadmill for 6. Inclined chest press- at 20 lbs for 10, 30 pounds for 8, and 40 lbs for 7. An abdominal trust(?)- I had to push a handle by bending my upper body forward: 30 lbs at 10, 40 lbs, at 10, 50 lbs at 8, and 70 lbs at 6. i'm not trying to go for gains right now, just re-establish my baselines.

I have had a host of health problems during the past few months. None of it life threatening, or even requiring bedrest; but enough to derail my workouts every time I try to start up again. Things are coming back under control finally, (fingers crossed) and I'm thinking heavily about joining a planet fitness around the block from my work. I've always been dismissive about planet fitness, but something's better than nothing. But I can't seem to make myself work out at home, and have to pass the planet fitness to go home, so it's more likely I'll stop in there then go somewhere else.

I have 9 points out of my 60 thus far, mostly due to workouts. I've been an academy member for years but have only started doing the workout plans recently. They've been pretty excellent so far.

At the beginning of March, Covid started shutting everything down, and I did nothing for about two months. I was actually sick for about three weeks in March, I never got officially tested for Covid, but whatever I had felt like walking pneumonia with a low grade, intermittent, fever. Early on, I transitioned to working at home, and I still feel like I'm trying to catch up from that decision. The courts essentially closed during those two months, so my cases didn't move very much and I basically sat a home in a introverted wonderland of Netflix and gardening. My meal prepping di

Yay! I found my Battlelog. I had to do some looking for this thing.

I've struggled with it quite a bit. I have a long history with eating disorders (both bulimia and binge eating) and tend to ignore my body's signals (both to start or stop eating). The only thing I've really figured out with intuitive eating is know what nutrients my body craves and how to provide the right macros when I am hungry.

Glad this thread is here, following.

So glad this thread is here. I have a history with bulimia (8-9 years, i guess) which has really gotten in the way of my fitness the past. And is currently a problem because I'm afraid of relapsing.

Squat's this week: 80. (10,000 9, 650) Push ups: 0.....I should probably attend to this. (10,000 9,985) Forms none this week.

squats this week: 70, Pushups: 15 incline. Forms : nothing new. Also started tracking/counting portions and macros. (NOT CALORIES,) I haven't tracked my food without tracking calories in about ten years, so we'll see how this goes.

Recap from last week.. 200 squats. (10,000 9,800), no pushups, (10,000).

Hoorary!!!! After much yoga and ice my leg finally feels better. I have lightly started to work out again; which is such a relief as I am so out of shape right now. I am coming up on my 32nd birthday, and I was 22 when I first started really paying attention to my health; so after a decade, in many ways I feel as though I am back to where I started. In many ways I am light-years ahead where I started because I know so much more about how my body and temperament respond to things. Sometimes it's about the journey, sometimes it's about the destination, but either way it's a lot easier if y
