For the past three or four years, I’ve been trying to go to the gym five days a week to walk and do weight training. Since my depression kicked in this summer, it’s been far more off than on, and for the past three weeks, I haven’t gone to the gym at all. Now I’m still trying to walk at least 20 minutes at lunch, and I do walk around a lot during the day, but this is a pretty serious decrease in exercise.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, the nurse came by to give us physicals so we can get life insurance.<\/p>\n
I’ve lost 3 1\/2 pounds since the last time I was at the gym (which puts me 1.2 pounds away from my goal weight), my blood pressure was 98 over 60, and my pulse rate was relatively (for me) low.<\/p>\n
This is ridiculous. I don’t need reinforcement for NOT going to the gym.<\/p>\n
However, I’m still going to get my butt in gear and start going back, because exercise twice a day helps a good deal in fighting my depression.<\/p>\n
But still. Although I’m glad that I’m so healthy, that wasn’t the kind of reinforcement I needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
