I have to leave the house for work at 7am. I get back sometime between 6 and 8pm. When I get back I'm mentally and physically shot. I mean, yes I could get an easier job that pays less I suppose, lose the house etc.

You should try doing 1/2 hour of exercise after you get back. It will make you feel way better, especially mentally.

That sounds like a good plan, thanks. It made me think an exercise bike right where I change from work, would make me remember to actually do it!

Thanks again

Even better in my opinion and experience, exercise during lunch break, if possible. Being drained after work can feel like too high barrier to get started exercising.
