That's right, friends! You heard me correctly! So, I'm a crazy person. In probably every aspect of the word. For some, there is one guaranteed thing that makes them happy always and can pull them out of a slump. I am not that person. Sometimes I have to try bizarre, out of the ordinary things like baking cookies, driving aimlessly, talking for hours, playing with play dough, kissing babies, volunteering at a soup kitchen, painting, shooting targets, reading my favorite books, creating some culinary masterpiece and deep cleaning my room and I STILL DO NOT FEEL BETTER!! I mean, my room's clean, my belly's full and others too, and I probably helped or hindered some relationships, I could've given a baby some tropical disease, ruined a wall by painting it an atrocious color, read the same story...again, and I now have cookies to share or eat all by myself, but in the end, that piercing ache is still there. So last night I resorted to the unthinkable...EXERCISE!
I think of all sorts of thing to rationalize doing as little exercise as possible. I don't know why. I honestly enjoy exercise when I'm doing it- its just actually getting to get myself to do it that's the problem. and not for too long because I have other things to do. and I get bored REALLY EASILY. and its too hard. and I have had back injuries so I can't do really hard stuff. and in reality i just IMPROVE my appetite when I exercise (like Mr. Winnie the Pooh bear here) and then I over eat. and then don't want to exercise anymore . and I get fatter then I was before. and do you see the terrible, awful, vicious cycle here?!
Yes friends. I rode this little beauty. |

I've been doing something similar! I found it easier to work out by doing it with a buddy. I try to go to the gym 3 times a week and go for an hour to and hour and a half. Its been wonderful. On top of that eating healthier and drinking water makes a huge difference (speaking of I still have a mostly full water bottle on my desk...busy day). I also like the last few points, books I love reading, but its important to stay spiritually "healthy" as well. :)
