12. After 6 weeks or so 100% quarantining and losing almost all self motivation

I started twice weekly 45 min sessions in the park with a trainer. We stay over 10 feet apart and I bring my own weights, resistance bands etc. I also take a 5 mile walk every Saturday in my neighborhood and I cross the street anytime anyone gets in my sight line. I also hit the treadmill once or twice a week for an hour. Just being outdoors has been wonderful. The trips to the park are my only forays out of the house except for occasional pharmacy drive through.
