exercise

i'm glad that works for you, because hey, that's a cheap anti-depressant and it's good for the rest of your body. but it has never worked for me. i don't get an endorphin high, and exercise for exercise's sake makes me just tired (and hungry). it doesn't lift my depression; if anything it makes it slightly worse.

that's why i've never been able to keep up with a regimen for the long term. i have to do it despite it making me feel worse and i just fall off the wagon sooner or later (usually sooner). the most i can do is to make it easily accessible at any time. walking works for me because i like the outdoors here, and it doesn't feel like exercise, but i don't do it in bad weather, and i don't do it fast enough either to keep my heart rate up, so it tends not to be good enough.

at least the bike will be accessible at all times, so we'll see how i do. last night i rode it for 30 minutes (not hard) while watching cowboy bebop, even though i had already done my workout. yay; that's good.
