i am keeping up with the exercise routine i chose and this is WILD because my entire 29 years of being has consisted of me going "right!! i'm gonna do X every Y days from now on" and doing it for a week and then dropping it like a big stinky rock.

ditching the diet mentality of exercise solely to lose weight has been a massive help, but i've also been on adhd meds for two weeks and kept up the exercise for three so i imagine that has a lot to do with it
