I am a year 2 analyst, and throughout my first year, I started to get small little health problems, and thought it was the job. Come to realize, I forgot that I just totally stopped doing any sort of physical activity, it goes by your head when your so busy, but recently, started cycling 30mins, no matter what, a day, my insomnia, sweats, tiredness, all of it gone. Do not discount exercise, may seem like common sense, but boy did I forget it.

Yup
I grew up playing sports so was always in good shape, but post-college really fell off exercise, started to feel like shit, ate poorly, etc etc. Always had a good metabolism so gaining weight wasn't the problem, but without realizing it it was really taking a tool on my mental health
In my mid 20s is started working out more aggressively and more recently I've been trying to eat healthier consistently, cutting out added sugar and all that, and I look/feel great. Exercise and diet is the single biggest improvement I've made to my life in the last few years. Plus if you're exercising consistently you also feel less shitty about a night out where you crush a large pizza and 10 beers with the boys
Great point about added sugar. I went into the office today which is atypical and grabbed some granola bars from our snack closet. Amazed at the added sugars in those - now we just got pizza delivered, and I’m going out tonight so today will be shit concerning diet
Yeah, I can't go fully off sugar since cutting out cookies and shit permanently would be a bummer but trying to do more moderation and eat very healthy most days. I was also starting from a baseline of being decently healthy to begin with since I have shitty stomach problems and eating healthy is the only way to avoid them... We order in food at the office which has actually helped since I'll basically just order a big salad every day for lunch.
The granola bars are a good example of why so many people are fat in this country
Esp if you look at the ones that are marketed to kids
E.g. Clif Z Bars which are like the kids version of a Clif bar have basically the same nutrition as a snickers
I'm very much a believer that completely cutting out sugar and booze/other stuff isn't a healthy way to live either. Sure physically you might be marginally better off but mentally it sucks restricting the good shit all the time. I'm more of an "all things in moderation" guy and just try to avoid binging on sugar or McDonald's etc. Alcohol is where I struggle most since I'm still decently young and like to drink socially
If you exercise, eat well most of the time, and have a dessert and a few beers every once in a while that's the best way to stick with it long-term without hating life IMO. And you can still look good physically while doing that.
How are you cycling? Outdoors or did you buy a Pelaton? Looking to start as I go into my 2nd year
Yeah Put it right next to me bed so i have no excuses
You don’t need a Peloton to work out bro, even if it’s a bike workout you want. Don’t waste your money on shit.
Do pushups between pages if you’re WFH
