Just want to work less and for stuff to be cheap
I feel as you
Pardon the trite advice, but it really is a marathon, not a sprint.
How ever you’re feeling is a-okay, but if you find things to look forwards too, lean into them.
42yo me: I just want to lose most of the weight I gained in my 20s and 30s
(60 lbs down, 110 or so to go)
Congrats on the progress! Keep it up, slow and steady. When you are in a comfortable weight for you, start lifiting weights (if you havent already). The more muscle you have when growing old, the longer it will take to get weak and frail.
Thanks! For the well wishes, as well as the good advice 😁
Right now, I’m on the exercise bike daily for 1000-1500 km a month and eating MUCH healthier than I’ve ever done before, which is causing a fast but healthily sustainable weight loss as well as giving me a lot of energy and mental well-being.
When the weight loss starts to plateau, I plan on adding some (mostly upper body) resistance training both to speed it back up (as maintaining muscle burns calories too) and to avoid ending up too scrawny on top compared to the big legs the cycling naturally gives me.
Plus as you say, better to build up some resiliance while I’m still barely middle aged than to have to be REALLY up against it once I approach actually old 😁
35-year-old me: I don’t care about being tired and wanting to be happy anymore, I just want to have my basic needs met and humanity to be better.
Humanity to be better? I feel like I’ve already given up hope on that and I’m 7 years your junior
37 here.
I have zero hope in humanity. Sure, you’ll wave your signs and protest like we all have and do, but less will as rightwing rhetoric destroys more young minds minute by minute. I can’t even keep a damn microphone on any game anymore without hearing lib this and lies that.
This shit has been going on for over 40 years. Good luck.
