If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I am as one with the others in my rage and desire to smite over bullshit family issues.

I made it to the gym tonight for the first time in a long time. Only did 15 min on the elliptical, but I am trying to go slow and build the habit. sarameg, you are quite the inspiration.

Now I'm watching FastForward from two weeks ago and doing stuff during the breaks.

Hah. The idea of me as an exercise habit inspiration is funny.

I don't give myself any days off, because I fear I'll slide if I give myself a "bad day/tired" excuse and the thing is, even a bad day? Even with a shitty swim? I feel better afterwards. And I feel like I accomplished something. I feel like I got fuckall done this weekend, but hey, I did swim almost 5K yards in 2 days. That's something.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

GODDAMNIT, SAINTS.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Even if all I manage is 10 minutes on a treadmill and some stretching, I ALWAYS feel great after. But I still can't figure out why it's so hard to get motivated to actually get there and do it!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

GODDAMNIT, SAINTS.

It's the Saints. Why are you surprised?

Doesn't that sound like a good name for a Regency romance hero?

"Mr. Utley, I can hardly credit my ears!"

That's why I don't rely on motivation, just routine. Home, change, out the door to walk to the Y. It's worked for 2 months.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

God, I hate exercise. Kettlebell is all I could ever manage. The martial arts are different--those are for the sheer love of the art. Actual exercise? Blech.

My sister is obsessive about it. She probably hates it as much as I do, but since almost quitting her PhD she has a life mission of doing things against her grain to prove she can tough it out. So she runs and swims long distances despite the aversion. We may not be related.

Actually, it was an interception that was in no way Brees' fault. And they got the ball back after four downs.

Coding and Sleeping

GODDAMNIT, SAINTS.

Try being a Cheifs and Royals fan.

I was bad this morning, I went for 7 hours of sleep instead of the treadmill, so I have to do the treadmill tomorrow morning. The eternal battle sleep vs. exercise.

In this regard you are Emmett. He's getting into very good shape with Krav, but it's tough getting him to run the steps at Kezar Stadium (at my house) or hit the gym at his mom's condo complex.
