Giving up on the gym isn’t giving up on the healthy lifestyle thing.

I can’t envision being in a spot where the gym ever looks palatable to me; however, I do plan to get back into some sort of workout routine.

What’s the metric? 15 minutes 3 times a week to make a difference (might be 45 minutes… which is a bit of gap, but… ultimately regular anything is better than regular nothing right?).

Anyhow, sorry to hear the gym didn’t work out, but it’s not the end of the world and it just means one particular approach to a given end didn’t work.

Good luck on the next approach!

Stick with it!
