New M, new WAW

Thanks for the advice everybody. You all are of course right that forcing myself out of my comfort zone is a good idea. That is the best way for us to grow after all. And as R2C says being comfortable in either zone is ideal. So maybe I just need some practice.

I am thinking about joining a gym as Thornton mentions. I have been working out for a little while but primarily at home. Bodyweight exercises go a long way and I've made a lot of progress, but I've been stalling, especially with legs. Maybe another good excuse to get out.

I'm also going to figure out if the chess clubs are playing online. I do play online a bit already but it's nice to do with people. Maybe I will bring a board to Starbucks or something.
