100 things, 36/100, exercise, pain, and the brain

It turns out to be a fairly big deal with my mental health & my thinking capacity if I go 5 hours without eating. Oy.

I also did get to the gym to do a little weightlifting (but it's been a month since I did that) so kept it brief and focused on the muscles supporting my surgery knee ( or both my knees, really)... good to get back to it. Knee has been twinging pretty good the last week or so.

I have checked in at the gym at least once a week since October 1, but that's not even enough to maintain the fitness improvement I developed while the physical therapy was underway. if it weren't for the Monday night dance class, I'd be losing ground even quicker...

need to go twice a week at least to gain fitness.

any suggestions wrt incentives?

I agree that it's easier to go every day rather than just a few. Until it becomes an ingrained habit, go as soon after breakfast as possible, any day that you can. After a few weeks, you should find that you start to look forward to it. Try to make it fun. A friend or class is great, but good music will also work. Good luck!
