HATE is a strong word

I was talking to Scab yesterday and mentioned that "I just HATE exercising" and he asked me why.

Really?  Why?  Doesn't everyone hate exercise?

The more I thought about it, the more I thought that I don't hate it.  You feel like you are accomplishing something when you are doing it.  You feel good or great after you do it.  Is it that I just don't want to get up in the morning?  or afternoon?  or change clothes?  or take up TV time?  or movie time?  or reading time?

I thought about this while I was at the gym this morning and I don't hate it.  I don't know what my feeling is right now.  I need to think about this a bit more.

Maybe I am an exercise junkie but just didn't know it!

  1. I started back at the gym yesterday and it was only that Miss Ivy was already booked into crèche that I went. I think it is the perceived mental effort in getting there that makes us think we hate it. Miss E

  2. On the bike that I ride at the gym, it has a little scroll going across the bottom. One of them says: "being fit feels great", and another says "there is no trying, only doing". If I ever feel that I wish I was someplace else than riding a stationary bike at the gym, those phrases get me back on track.
