Dunno how else to call it. Got me a job. It’s not a bad job. I like the work I do, I tolerate the people there, the hours are not long, it’s unionised so they can’t harrass me when I’m off the clock, it pays the bills I got.
… But god damn. Once I’m home I lack the drive to do literally anything.
I’ve stopped going to gym, I often eat junk cuz I just don’t wanna cook, even my hobbies are being left to gather dust. After working my 9-to-5 I just wanna lie down and rot until it’s work time again.
So the question is, how do the better-adjusted adults handle this?
Work out in the morning or integrate exercise into your commute: I ride a bike to work (shoutout to !micromobility@lemmy.world) and walk everywhere I can. Depending on where you work, you might even be able to get in some body weight exercises, light cardio, etc. between stuff. Do it in little bursts whenever you can, every little bit helps!
Keep in mind also you cannot out-exercise a bad diet, so try to eat healthy nutritious meals as opposed to fast food trash. Cut out beer and soda too. Doing this lost me probably 30-40 lbs, and I’m not quite back in fighting form but I’m doing better that I was a few years ago for sure.
