I started exercising for the first time in like 4 years. Just solid 30 minute cardio sessions on an elliptical machine (doesn't cause me knee pain). First time sucked and i was extremely sore afterwards. Second time sucked slightly less, somewhat less sore. Third time (today) wasn't horrible, and I'm... a little tender and a bit tired, but otherwise feel fine? Planning to add leg day on top of cardio in a week or so once I've got a consistent habit built a little more.

Also, its fucking hot out, and my AC cant keep up (combination cheap/crappy AC unit and second/top floor apartment). Its going to be 90 degrees or higher out for the foreseeable future, and its been about 76-80 degrees indoors by the afternoon, stays that way until almost midnight 😭

Way to go! I've just started working out again too and I absolutely share your pain. I've been doing strength training though, I always struggle to get outside to do cardio when it's this damn cold haha. Good on you for looking after your knees and best of luck when you start doing leg day, I know a lot of people hate it, but personally it's my favourite.

Either way, keep it up! I hope we both stick to our plans and make amazing progress.

Oh i love leg day, i enjoy the shaky leg feeling after squat lifting, best kind of tired soreness 😁

I cannot do the whole "outside" thing. Nature wants to kill me via plantmatter. So all my cardio is strictly indoors

I went to court to appeal my conviction and fine, I was expecting a good behaviour bond but nope! Turns out judges don't like when cops lock you up for 7 hours when they only needed to get your name and address. So woo, clean record again!

I also got super lucky and a friend of mine was playing a gig at a small town on the way to court, so I got to spend Saturday hanging out with some Aussie folk punk artists at a really cool venue.

My solicitor continues to prove herself a great ally, in the middle of my hearing she started whispering to me about how she's been doing work with trans rescue, they look like a good group. They help people escape persecution for being trans, they have resources for getting out of the US too.

Overall a good weekend, there were still plenty of challenges but I think I managed everything okay.

Pretty good! I’m off of work for the next week, and I got my prescription for estrogen from Planned Parenthood this week. They were super friendly and helpful! Now I just have to learn how to give myself injections lol
