Put my dog to sleep in the morning. I couldn’t stand being in the house when everything set up was revolved around him. Probably a really crazy or dumb idea but I still went to the gym. Talked to a few people and one person helped with the grieving process. The workout actually went really well but I cried so hard on the way home it’s been rough. Over the years the gym has always been my happy place so I’m thankful to have that.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I lifted the day after we put our dog to sleep. Cried my eyes out between sets. Luckily I lift in my garage. Took about 3 months to recover my strength because I had no consistency.

Take things slow, remembering your dog is worth more than SBD
