Eight Weeks at the gym. Here’s Everything.

What I learned, what changed, and the exact workouts from weeks 5 through 8. Part two of my monthly gym series.

This is Part two of my monthly gym series.

I lost 75 pounds on a GLP-1 without a single consistent workout plan.

I maybe went to the gym a handful of times in those first two years. And somehow the weight still came off.

I say that because I need you to know that I am not someone who has always loved the gym. I am not someone who figured out movement early and credit it for her results. I avoided it. For a long time.

It wasn’t until I hit the 180s, until I finally felt good in my body, until I actually wanted to move, that any of this started. November of 2025 I joined a gym. Went all of November, some of December, then stopped completely in January.

End of February I started again. And since then I have not missed a week.

Two and a half months of consistency. Three days a week, sometimes more. And then in March I accidentally signed up with a personal trainer named Lia and everything shifted.

If you read part one of this series, you know the story. I went in for a free consultation, I’m a people pleaser, I said yes before I fully understood what was happening, and I drove home kind of regretting it.

Eight sessions later? One of the best things I’ve done for myself.

The video above covers the full story. But this post is where we go deeper. The mindset stuff. The moments that actually changed something. And the exact workouts from weeks five through eight.

That part lives below the paywall.
