I think the 6 - 7 days per week of lifting or HIIT are making the biggest difference. Being strict about that is crucial.
I’m going to move back to NYC in September 2021 for sure. My lease is up at the end of August, and I will have 51 days of leave (almost 3 months) accumulated but I can only cash out 30 days. So I’m going to use roughly a month of leave in these next three months, to sell my car when it gets closer to time to leave, find a new apartment in NYC, etc. I have plenty of reserves to support myself so I’m not worried. And I have avenues to earn money again if my business did flop, so I’ll be fine - just have to make the jump. I do feel some sense of dread about it, but I know I have to do it. My boss will retire soon and I’d be up for his job, with a 25% raise, but the work is far below my ability and potential, and I need to move back to the city. If things go even moderately well I’ll be making double what my boss makes, and I deserve to be successful.
I’m glad that my therapist really supports me in doing the whole protocol thing. And he’s in my corner about moving back to the city, he helps keep me on task with all of the things I have to do.
Sometime in the next few weeks I might have another upswing; we’ll see. It will happen on its own pace.
