'Trash'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
GODDAMNIT, SAINTS.
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!
GODDAMNIT, SAINTS.
It's the Saints. Why are you surprised?

ION: Chase Utley! Stud!
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.
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.
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.
I actually like swimming. When everything is working in the water, it's sublime. Like flying down from the Tiger's Nest. Everything working as it should, it's magic, it's my body and it's all mine.
Oh god, some random show is using my favorite bit from Four Seasons, Winter, I think. Timely.
