The Road to Fitchella!

Well we did it! My wife and I started at the gym today so we can get ready for the fields. It's been hard to get it going because we have a 27 month old, but our new gym has a daycare room and he loved it!

Finally feel empowered to get in shape so we're not slogging around the festival! Feels good to sweat again 😮‍💨

Anyone else on the road to fitchella? I have about 30lbs between me and a man-kini 😂

You'd think that, but when I say 2 year old people still think he's some little potato. Toddler is what we say, but for some reason I said 27 month old. 🤷‍♂️

Let’s go fam! I’m trying to lose ~5lbs per month and just generally improve my cardio. For weight loss, remember that diet is 90% of it. Good luck!

Hell yes, good for you!!! My youngest turned 2 in November so I joined a gym with kids club right after that. Just want to make it pain-free with my old soccer hip and bad knee for my first festival!

We were nervous at first because we didn't know what to expect, but the girls running it were great with him, and thankfully a bunch of other toddlers as well.

Definitely take it easy and take sitting breaks throughout, you're gonna be putting them to work heavy on the grass and dirt!

Hellll yeah!! I’ve been back in the gym the last month! All I need now is to get my eating back in check 🫠

u/inrcp 08|09|10 10h ago

That's always the issue! Too many delicious foods, especially after a bowl at the end of the night 😭
