I’ve been thinking of just walking around tracks or trails but the weather over here has been cool with the wind and all. I don’t like gyms too much as there can be a lot of people there. I’ve gotten so lazy and uninterested in exercising since Covid. I eat healthy mostly except for ice cream most of the week. Haven’t worked in like a year so stay home a lot and bored af. Idk I just haven’t been myself since getting overweight and not exercising in some capacity. I have anxiety and depression as well so that factors in too. I only get motivated to make some changes when I get high at night and say I’m going to start doing things tomorrow. Once I’m sober I lack the motivation to do anything

    Start eating high fiber foods.

    It’ll save you money and make you lose weight because it takes forever to digest. That makes the walking easier, and won’t hurt your joints as much.

    Like, if you’re gassed after walking 20 minutes, you don’t need a weighted vest for a while.

    When you can walk 20 minutes and have the same level of energy as you started, then start thinking about stuff like carrying a heavy book, or anything that’s roughly 5-10lbs.

    Don’t overthink it. You’re just making it slightly harder everytime what you’re doing gets too easy.
