before i went to treatment in 2022 i was in the best physical shape of my life; i was so muscular and strong and it brought me so much gender euphoria!! and then last year i was working 2 jobs + moving + trying to do more gentle movement & somatic movements for my trauma healing so I didn't do much strength training but now!! after six months of ballet & 2.5 of cross training & a stretching regimen i am looking so strong again and it makes me soooo happy
Im deeply off put by the culture around exercise that seems to think that the only reason you’d exercise is to “look fit” or lose weight. What about those of us who want to exercise so we can climb mountains to hang glide or freerun cause it’s beautiful but need to build up strength to do that?
what about those of us who thought gym was a waste in school but really could’ve used actual education around how to exercise so you don’t hurt yourself? What things to do to help you achieve the life you want?
i know education is broken but I’m just… frustrated.
i weighed myself this morning and i am 199!! i know this is a small win, and later in the day ill be over 200 with water and some food, but i am just so happy to see progress!
Second Tuesday in a row I took myself swimming and I only felt a little nauseated during 😆. Still got a solid 20 mins in which is the most consistent exercising I've done in months.
