I gained a few pounds, I think, but my pants feel the same or looser. Perhaps they're stretching out? Also applies to new ones of the same size, though.
Going to start running in the morning again, because the stationary bike is the Devil, and the rowing machines here are whack. I've been getting evening runs in occasionally, but I bail on those too often.

Someone convince me to go to yoga class in just over an hour. I've been planning to for weeks but whenever the day rolls around all motivation dissipates.

Going to yoga will make you slightly more like LS.
You'll be fine. Watch out for the lava pit and take a whistle to ward off the eyeball sucking bats that roost in the weights machine, and you'll have no problems. Oh, and DONT LOOK DOWN.

Haaahahaha no one wants to be that, I don't think.
Truth though smoffers, yoga is super fucking awesome for addressing my daily issues with stress and anxiety for at least a short period of time, so you should go. If you didn't go this time, go next time!
Some quick things that might help:
The truth is apart from the instructor virtually no one will be watching and judging you, because they will be focused on their own body movements (unless it's a sitting around humming class, I don't get those, what else is there to do but stare at the wall/ceiling/check out someone else's butt).
The instructor will be watching you but only to address your form and keep you from hurting yourself. Since it's your first class he or she may not even offer to physically adjust your posture, at least in my experience.
Focusing on the very small inner workings of my muscles and breathing really allows me to release and stop focusing on the mental aspects of my anxiety, so I always finish feeling refreshed and really really good, and I think you'll feel the same way.
Watching people who are awesome at yoga gives you something to work toward.

The thing about most gyms is that people are actively looking to ignore everyone else around and just do their thing, so don't feel self-conscious.
Seriously though, watch out for the lava pit.
I have no idea what im doing
Talking yourself into showing up is really the most complicated part. Everything else about exercise is just practice, and everyone starts out not knowing what they're doing.
Blehhh. I've gained fifteen pounds back out of the 50 I've lost since moving to Oregon. I am just such a fucking blob you guys.

i have been the absolute worst thing ever for the last 3 weeks.
just spiraling down and down and down and i just don't know if I want to bother getting back up again. mental problems, eating problems, anxiety problems, illness. everything just happening all at once and I just can't be bothered.
i hate my brain and myself for letting my brain get me to this point.

1 day at a time, 1 thing at a time. Trying to recover everything at once is overwhelming. You've done well before and you can do it again!

Think of it this way, you're right where you would be if you'd gradually lost 35 pounds, only now you know for a fact that you've got it in you to lose 15 more.
Also those one-handed barbell lifts are impressive but they also look incredibly fucking dangerous.
Nah. The trick is that you don't drop the barbell on your head.

The barbell toss is really the only one out of the group that is incredibly stupid.
The others require a decent amount of strength and skill, but once you get the balance down on the barbell, they're no different than a kettlebell or dumbbell windmill.
Any good recommendations on daily stretching routines? I have been slacking on this front and have decided that I'll make myself stretch everyday when I get home from work. Which will be nice given how much of my work is sitting these days.
I just checked and the diving classes I loved going to are fully booked for the spring session (April to june).
The pool lets people who are already registered in the current session book the next session a few weeks early, but I had to miss the last session due to my jaw surgery so I didn't get that option, and then the pool lets city residents book a few days early (which I am not), and by the time the booking was open to me, both classes were full up
I was really fucking looking forward to them.

Alright, I have a question/concern for you guys here.
About a week ago I jumped up in weight for one of my circuit machines. Basically for a two handed bicep curl I jump up to 80lbs. I think I was doing 65 before, though I may have tried 70 on occasion. Anyway, not really the point.
So I had just done my 30 minutes of cardio and the first machine I did was the bicep curl. I do one set of 30, put the weights down and take a breather for 90 seconds or so.
I go to start the second set but getting that first rep up is proving quite the challenge. I had hit this same wall before, but I've also been able to break through it on occasion. So this time I'm really going at it, really trying to start this second set. I know if I can just get the first one through, the rest become easier.
Then something happens. I get washed over with this feeling of nausea and my lower stomach starts to feel very very cold. I tried to just let it pass but that wasn't happening. I went into the locker room and laid down for about 5 minutes before I felt a little closer to normal. I ended up going back out and doing a few more circuit machines, but specifically ones that wouldn't have me using my core very much. It kind of hurt the smallest bit when I would bend over later but thats about it. Nothing else really seems to be wrong.
I had something pretty similar happen a few months ago.
I distinctly remember the cold feeling too, though for me it sort of crept from my stomach up to my throat.
Ended up having to head in to the locker room toilets and threw up a bit, but then felt fine afterwards.
Not sure what it was exactly, so I just put it down to over-exertion/some sort of shock, since that day I was doing a fairly full-on morning session when I'm used to doing afternoons.

5km takes me about 35min, last year in a relay-run with work I did it in just over 30. My goal this year is to beat that.
I'll have to do a side buzz and some racing stripes in there

How am i supposed to go for a run without getting caught up in it?
It's not like own the road.

They are all teasing you Kochi.
The Lava pit only becomes a thing when you level up to level six.
That's at least a day's worth of griding.

Also - most gyms have trainers that can walk you through stuff or setup a program for you.
Find a partner and do this:
A two-hands anyhow is another fun lift:
Or since it's St. Paddys day, this seems appropriate.

Oh yeah I got that, I just wanted to express how clenched I was watching that video.

I'm not sure. It's possible, but I normally try to exhale during the hard stuff.
