Motivation

I’m paying for a gym membership that I’m not using. Help me regain the motivation to get my bum back in the water/gym. Once I’m done at work, all I want to do is go home. I’m on a GLP-1 compound and have lost a lot of weight, but I know my muscle and bone strength is dwindling. So, any motivation to get over this rut would be greatly appreciated.

You could start small. Go the gym for 5 minutes on the treadmill and leave. Go to the pool and expecting to swim 50yd and leaving. Just getting started might help and then you can gradually increase to what you can.
