I'm planning my fitness strategy for busy season. I usually prefer exercising after work to help blow off steam, but for busy season I work out in the morning due to schedule. What is your game plan?

Thinking of getting a rucksack and just adding 20 lbs of weight to my daily commute. My understanding is that you can get your heart pumping at 60% of its max during a normal run. But we’ll see.

Morning work outs is probably the best strategy. Never know when your leaving so that's the only way to have consistency. Those gym showers though, I've never gotten used to them. I'm personally thinking of upgrading to an something like an equinox gym.

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

I figure if anyone can understand this, it’s you all. I feel like I’m losing my damn mind. I have always loved communications, and I’m really good at it. But lately I’m so tired of politics and toxicity that I it’s sent me into a depression tailspin, on top of a pretty severe mid-life crisis. Two and a half weeks ago, I quit my job with nothing lined up. Not the smartest thing I’ve ever done, but I kind of feel like self-preservation was at work here. I want to do work that makes a difference. ☹️
