Off-topic : Doing whf for past 2-3 years but now due to switch I have to travel outside home town.

Now, I am kind of both happy and sad. Going outside will get more social life and I can travel more.

Cons, I will be missing comfort of home. Couldn't take care of parents. Again I have to find house and settle with new roommates.

Confused about what to do. I don't even know if I want to settle in my hometown or any other IT hub.

Please share genuine advice.

I recently started lifting, only once a week so far since I'm only at my work (and it's free gym) on Mondays. My friend said I might as well not lift at all since I'm not doing it 3 times a week. I get I'm not building a ton of muscle, if any at all, by only going once a week but it was really discouraging to hear that. I'm not in the habit of working out yet, so should I just stop lifting entirely if I'm not doing it 3x weekly?
