Re: I'm going to go mad if I don't do something.
Hmmm, join the club.
I was like you at the age of 22 years and now I am 37.
After living in a student flat/lifeskills program where no one actually did what they were supposed to for a year, I lived my life on kfc, pies, packets of biscuits, and chips.
I drank many cans of v a day and was an utter slob.
My brother told me I had to train at 9 am every day.
I didn't really care for it.
You won't either, you will get sore, you will get tired, and you won't care about it at all.
Eventually you will realise that you are stronger, and better and feeling really cool.
Ok, but I am not going to bullshit you.
It took me 3 years of going at it for 2 hours a day and eventually 2.5 hours a day, doing all sorts of gym work at home.
It was hard and my brother and I had a lot of fights over it but in the end it was worth it.
He has now got a propper life, a job, a girl and a house, things I can only dream of.
With him gone I have reduced down to 1 to 1.5 hours a day during the week and 2 hours on saturdays.
It used to be a lot longer.
I still feel cool doing it, and really feel the buzz afterwards.
However I must say there are differences between what my brother thinks I should do and what I think I should do.
He thinks I should push myself till I am physically done.
I think I should do a set program, and finnish it without any distraction or anyone else so I can just get it done and still have energy for later.
Under his instruction sure maybe I got a bit better, but I would spend the rest of the day sleeping.
Now I can spend most of the day and bits of the night up but only because I do it myself.
So short story is yeah its definitely worth all the work, sweat and tears and all the hell.
This morning, I woke up to a full lockdown.
After doing all my training, update checks, and in house chores, after waking up at 7.30, having my serial and making one phonecall to a friend its almost mid day and I am only just touching the computer right now.
And while I will have to put in times to walk with my family outside and someone else I have included in my bubble weather permitting, I am actually going to struggle to actually fit it all in.
Its only after this virus happened that I realise that I have actually a lot of stuff I have still to do, and a lot that I have put off.
