All in all, I've got a pretty sweet life, but I really don't take advantage of it. I have an apartment to myself, but I feel like as soon as I get off work, my instinct is to just retreat to it, because why wouldn't I?

I don't really have any friends to hang out with anymore, and frankly it doesn't seem like anyone really "hangs out" anymore. I live around DC, so maybe "staying at home" is taken to a greater extreme around here. But I suppose that's neither here nor there.

When I'm home, I actually have a weight bench (technically "power rack") with 300 lbs setup in the apartment. I feel like I have a hard time really pushing myself at home; like, this will sound stupid, but benching 190 lbs just legitimately feels heavier here, than when I used to use the gym at work.

The fact of the matter is, this is likely be my life for the next several months, at least. But my lifestyle needs to be nuked and completely reconstructed. 300lbs and a weight-bench might not be enough to become a greek god of a man, but it's certainly enough to achieve and maintain a healthy body. I'm generally home by 4pm each day (in bed by 10pm), which gives me plenty of time to be productive and then chill.

So... well, I'm honestly interested in how you guys maintain healthy lifestyles?

What I mean is, do you schedule your workouts? For example, so I say "at 4pm every day, I will begin my workout routine"? If so, do you continue "until the routine is done", or do you schedule that as well (ie. "workout from 4 until 5")?

The routine itself, I'll obviously have to hash out. I'm in an apartment, so I have to be mindful of making too much noise (considered getting a stationary bike, if anyone has any experience or feedback on them to share?).

I feel like, I might ought to actually schedule going to places other than the grocery store each week? I really don't have much of a life, so maybe just saying "alright, between 11am and 3pm every Saturday, I should just go to random stores or shops in the area", just so some kind of human-interaction is even possible?

Because otherwise, my life really is just "go to work, come back home, and hit the grocery store when I need to".
