yeah, all of this i understand but in the depths of early stage T2 diabetes, exercise is torture. i'm mostly recovered now, at least, i can touch my toes, and i've just bought the pieces to assemble a pull-up bar so when there is a dry day again soon i'm putting that thing together and in the ground and gonna start doing some stuff on it. mainly pull-ups and hanging upside down to do abs. there's probably other good things i can do with it but that's what's on my mind.

i reinstalled the Golden Hour app on my phone, which i paid for the premium version, and i've set it to an alarm for sunrise so i can get outside first thing and get whatever light there is, spend at least 15 minutes. maybe ascend the path near my house and do a loop back around to the other side.

one of the things that is really important when you are trying to recover your health and fitness is to understand which things are the obstacles to the next stage. first thing i had to do was cut out the massive carb intake from mostly wine/beer/cider and potato chips. if i relapse there i will put on weight again, my muscles will start cramping again. i'm at this point now. i can do exercise easier, especially stretching, but the problem that seems to be next is resetting my circadian clock, which is the light thing.
