Covid was definitely a healthier time for me - I didn't consume a drop of alcohol for almost a year and my mother (who I was staying with) leaned into cooking so I ended up not eating a single repeated meal for almost 6 months. Did lots of walks and outdoor workouts, got a tonne of sunlight and vitamin D On the other hand, just within my own friend group my experiences were quite polar and many of my friends tripled their alcohol intake or ate even more unhealthy take-out food or would start baking cakes and cookies everyday...

Covid and a layoff probably saved my life - quit a serious alcohol habit but ended up very sedentary until I got laid off and basically ended up rehabbing myself by helping my parents out with some construction work. Then had a slow year but now I'm back to the gym and finding out that I'm not as decrepit as I thought and headed towards being in the best shape of my life. Been a weird couple years for sure.
