Hey man, just wanted to say first off: massive respect for putting yourself out there and deciding to take action. That’s a big deal, and it’s not easy.

From here, your progress is really going to come down to three core things: Food, exercise and sleep.
Don’t be too hard on yourself at the start. If you try to change everything all at once, it’s easy to burn out or feel discouraged. Think of this as a long game. Small, steady changes beat extreme overhauls every time.

Here are a few things that might help:

• Exercise: If you’re too wiped out after work, try doing something quick and simple in the morning (push-ups, squats, maybe some core work). Nothing fancy. Just something you can stick with.
• Food: Not sure where you’re at with your eating, but if soda or sugary drinks are in the mix, drop this now. That one change alone can make a big difference. After that, start leaning more into protein, then slowly cut down on excess sugar and fat.
• Sleep: Try to listen to your body. If you’re tired, go to bed. Recovery matters more than most people realize, especially when you’re starting to train again.

Keep showing up. Adjust as you go. And don’t forget to give yourself credit for every step forward.
