  • It really depends on what you want to do. If you’re trying to build muscle, lifting weights and a little bit of cardio will make you strong and feel just generally better (less mental fog, have more energy, etc). You can generally get a good deal of the benefits if you’re just starting out at home, provided you are actually being consistent with your workouts. Workout clothes are much more comfortable than just wearing a pair of jeans and working out, plus they won’t chafe if you get them wet from your sweat. A lot of the reason I have a gym membership is that it provides an incentive to actually get my money’s worth by going to the gym (I am rather cheap), thus I’m less likely to not workout. I think we all remember how awful gym time at school was, but a paid for gym is a much better environment, as you can go take a shower after rather than having to be sweaty in your clothes for the rest of the day, or even just working out at home with the opportunity to shower after sweating.









  • I’d love Golf with your friends if you have it available, thank you!

    As for good gaming memories, I’ve been meeting with some out of state friends for movies and games on discord for the last couple of years, and I’ve had many a moment having fun just doing stupid stuff playing raft (we went through the whole game, it took about 6 months with our schedules constantly changing). I think one of the funniest memories I have was trying to use the snowski in that game, as one of my friends uses audio controls to play and she was constantly running off without meaning to and being unable to control the snowski gave us all a good 15 min just chasing her.

    Golf with friends looks like it might offer some fun to the group as well, thanks in advance.






  • As always, everyone’s experience varies, but having ADHD I’ve always found the best way to get yourself to do something long term is to make it a super ingrained habit. I usually say 8 weeks is a good minimum to get it ingrained, and while I’ve had breaks, I generally find it much easier to get back to the swing of the habit if I have to take a break from it (or forget one of my exercise days).


  • Find an exercise you like, and make sure to keep doing it until it’s a habit (8 weeks is usually enough for me). It raises your baseline metabolic rate, so even if you slip a bit, you can usually recover. Personally, that’s hiking or exercising while reading an audiobook which makes the time fly.

    The other thing is to religiously count calories. Have an app on your phone, enter the calories every time something comes close to your mouth. Eventually, you’ll reach to eat some snack, realize you don’t know the calories, get up to figure it out from the container, and often forget about the snack while you’re up and doing something.
