Every day, I wake up and go to the basement to work out before I got into work. I get up around an hour and a half to two hours prior to going in. I work out for roughly twenty to thirty minutes making sure I cover my set for the day before I head upstairs to shower.

That being said, I think I hit a plateau. I feel sore after working out but do not see much results following it. I have switched up my workouts but I still feel the same.

My friend texted me yesterday talking to me about how badly she feels about herself and how hard it is to stay motivated to go to the gym and lose weight simultaneously. I asked her how I could help and offered to start going with her.

We have a Planet Fitness that is right down the street from us; luckily, Vanessa already has a gym membership to it; I just figured I would get the basic pass for me to go. I still plan on using what we have downstairs, but it would be nice to go consistently with a friend and work out longer than what I am used to.

I talked to Brandon about it, and he didn’t seem to mind. I just have to train myself to go to bed and get up even earlier because now I will have to take care of the dogs and leave for the day. I will now have to carry a gym bag and a work bag. I could realistically stop carrying my backpack and just bring my laptop case because that’s all I ever use it for.

I might talk him into going out today to look for a gym bag for me and go grocery shopping in person. We never do that because I hate it so much, but if we are going to be out and about, it makes more sense. (I cannot explain how much I hate grocery shopping in person, the sea of people, and carrying things from the car to the house, but saving money is what I really need to do right now).

Cross your fingers for me, I dare go out in public today.
