55 year old male, married 32 years and who could not get himself to consistently excercise and when the economy collapsed - it was a great excuse not to work out because i need to work. Problem was that i was not really working - just showing up to work. As the economy was in the tank and my business suffering horrible financial losses, I knew my life and my physical and mental health were all out of balance and fragile.
