Trying My Best With What I Have

I'm Lorenzo, 26yo M, I am beginning today what seems to be impossible without the luxury and comfort of a gym and heavy lifting equipment. I'm going to try my best at gaining healthy weight and muscle with little to no heavy lifting. I am relying a majority on my diet however I do have a workout plan which is body weight exercises focusing on strength and muscle growth as opposed to high cardiovascular exercise. I know what you may be thinking but before you start up allow me to explain, I support myself, my job pays just enough for me to make it from month to month and I have very little "play" room with my finances, I am in the course of finding a better paying job but some of my financial investments are going towards paying for classes to gain certain licensing so that I can move forward, so instead of continuing to live in the excuse of not doing anything because I can't afford it, my mentality is, "I am going to do the best I can in my current temporary situation with what I have." I am a veteran and while I was in the service it was easier to gain muscle and workout because the base gyms were free and I had the financial stability to eat correctly and supplement where needed. Since I've gotten out, these past two years have been the most inactive years I've had in a very long time. I am looking forward to speaking with like-minded, highly motivated individuals who can offer advice and encouragement for my plan and I can do the same in return. Thank you all, have a great and healthy day!
