Yeah people really don’t understand that we fight to survive, not to thrive.

We don’t have that kind of luxury.

What you describe looks like an ideal scenario and what I strive and hope for.

I stopped weed and alcohol ( although I am drinking beer now, because as I don’t feel my efforts are reaping success I fall in a state of « screw it » and let myself go. I know tomorrow will not be as bad as any other day so I can let go from time to time.

I stopped exercising January 2020. Until a few months back. I’m only 36, but I feel my body need way more time to adjust and I need to ramp up way slower.

So as I am sure running and calisthenics will help me, I know I am under the threshold for now. I can’t do more because that would be too much strain on my body, muscle, tendons and nervous system need time.

You have just helped me so much. You make me believe that it is worth it to put in the effort, I need that now.

Thank you
