Indysteel, congratulations for making that decision to drop something that just wasn't working any longer - that kind of decision can be so hard to make. I think the hardest thing to do to get back into regular exercise is to start making those schedule changes, bit by bit.
This past year I have been shocked at just how far regular and intense exercise has gone to manage my anxiety level and mood - it has been both freeing and sobering at the same time. Talk therapy was only useful to me to a certain point, the right kind of exercise has taken me much further. Of course, it could also be that the talk therapy got me to a place where I could really take advantage of the exercise.
This last week I've had to return to my old workaholic days out of necessity and it has not been a good place to be - am greatly looking forward to a charity ride tomorrow to blow the cobwebs out of body, soul and mind.
I am in! Always looking for more balanced/healthy ways of dealing with stress - had problems with post-traumatic stress a few times in my life so I try my best to keep my stress levels at least below a low roar...I am finding the bike is a cure for many things!
