August 31st 2024 marked my third year serving time. Of that three years I have only been in BOP custody for about seven months and of that 7 months I was in transfer to my designated facility for 3 months. I have been at my designated facility for four months. I have been working out six days a week with one day of rest. Maintaining a work out routine gives me mental clarity as well as helping me to avoid negative thoughts. One thing that I have found that really helps to do daily is to spend 15-20 minutes a day stretching. It gives me a chance to focus on breathing and has helped my lower back. This is something I plan to continue doing for as long as I am physically able.
