I'll second this. Exercise is one of the best things you can do for
yourself, especially during tough times. And if you're like me and
have a few (or then some) extra pounds on your frame, it'll be an even
bigger boost when you drop them. I ping-ponged throughout my
unemployment/underemployment stretch in 2008-10 with many good
intentions, but amped up my consistency at the beginning of the year.
I'm down about 50 lbs and feel great (though have a ways to go). If I
didn't have a full time job ad a family to care for, I think I'd be
putting in a solid 2 hours a day on exercise alone. Once you get
hooked... :-)
