Exercise sucks!

Well... two weeks in, I've walked 13 times, averaging a mile a walk, with my longest walk at 2.25 miles... that was about a half-hour ago. Holy crap that hurt. A lap around the block is .75 miles, and the goal is to be able to eventually jog four laps (3 miles) without stopping. Since I can currently jog about 30 seconds at a stretch, you can see how that is a long-term goal. Right now, I'm trying to build up to walking the whole distance, and once a week or so I'm walking/jogging a single mile as fast as I can.

I hate every goddamned second of it.

Everything hurts. I ache from my head to my toes. My tummy hurts. My butt hurts.

Oh well. A million pounds to go.

At least you're doing it. (Heh. I said doing it.) I exercise vicariously through others. Thanks for sweating on my behalf, and keep up the good work!

Right... my preferred mode of exercise is to drive to the gym, and slow down as I pass it on my way to McDonalds.

My preferred method is to sit on my recliner watching TV programmes of people driving past gyms on their way to McDonald's, eating a Domino's Pizza freshly delivered to my door.
