Ok — a little out of my comfort zone, but here goes.

I’m sick of being unhealthy. It should be easy for me to kick bad habits and start good ones. But it isn’t. I was doing great this time last year. Hitting the gym hard every day, doing keto religiously. Then I broke my arm 1/

And subsequently lost my job that I had taken a pretty big gamble on. I went 6 weeks with no job, a broken arm, and stressed beyond what I knew to be possible. I felt depression and anxiety for the first time in my life. I was unable to go to the gym and started bad habits. 2/

Fast forward to now, I have a great-paying stable job that I enjoy. But I haven’t been able to kick the bad health habits. It’s time though. I have been so used to having a little dad bod and still being athletic. Yeah, that’s not the case any more and I want that to change. 3/

So my question to you all is what small steps can I take now to help me be healthier with a long term goal of being very healthy? What is realistic? What has worked for you?
