I am now further than I’ve ever managed to go in this program, in the several times that I’ve tried it. Feeling pretty good about continuing!

Somehow got out of the habit of doing this. Probably something to do with me bringing more (reasonably healthy) food with me to work rather than having to buy any :D
So far this year I’ve quit one gym and moved on to another – this time rather than being close to my house, it’s close to my work. So instead of coming home tired from work, going to the gym (effectively dividing up my time for doing my own stuff in the evening so there isn’t much time to do anything) and eating a late dinner, I can go to work a bit early and take an extra long lunch time to go to the gym and then eat lunch in front of the computer.
Might not sound like a big difference, but the change in my attitude towards gymming is huge. Instead of feeling like the gym is cutting into my leisure time, it’s cutting into my lunch period which I never really use up completely anyway. Instead of not feeling like doing anything but relaxing after work, I get to take a break from work and go the gym. Instead of sitting at a computer for almost 7 hours straight I can do a bit of exercise and come back refreshed.
I think this is going to work out a lot better. I need to find other ways to manipulate myself into enjoying doing these things.
