god if the trick to feeling less crankymiserable actually turns out to be ‘regular exercise’ as per all the hideous Advice out there i WILL bite something, lol

(possibly my hat. but like. eating involves biting.)

anyway i went for another stupid little run and my breathing is still extremely a Work In Progress (i’m like. just a hair congested in general atm which i think didn’t help) and neither my mileage nor pace were anything my college self would have been remotely impressed by BUT

absolutely do feel just like. fundamentally unsnarled into a tired tenderized contentment. furious that this seems 2 work but i guess also ““grateful”” or whatever!!!

Not entirely sure if this is actually true or just a temporary thing but I feel like over the last three days I’ve crossed a sort of bridge with exercise. I’ve been motivated to do it this whole time but the motivation is a little…brighter? Less based in fear? And for weeks I haven’t noticed any real shift/improvement but the past few days I’ve felt able to go a little harder and longer and actually not feel completely miserable about it. It would be great if this lasts.

#text post #my post #also I have an appointment with the nutritionist set up for this coming Friday!!! #super happy about that bc after this week my therapist is going away for a bit #and I CANNOT fucking do this with no professional support rn or I WILL have a major relapse. I’m on the edge as is #so if I can see the nutritionist the weeks my therapist is away that will be hugely helpful I think #weight loss cw #exercise cw

I’ve talked a lot lately about shifting from “I hate my body, I wanna lose weight” to “omg I love climbing and hiking and I wanna keep building what my body can do” and how great and healthy and life changing that’s been for me but like-

My wife has started climbing with me 3 times a week + running, and this morning she said, “I wanna get in really good shape and then rub it in my family’s face, they’re gonna be so pissed”

I can’t believe this never occurred to me. The MOST on-brand motivation for health and activity is spite. I LOVE spite.

Frank, since it’s becoming summer soon I wanted to know what your favorite part of the season is! Mine is that it’s the perfect temperature to sit and watch the sun set.

I've never lived anywhere that has "summer," since I tend to live in temperate or near-arctic climates. (I've been in the South, but never for long and never in "summer.")

I used to be a fan of autumn, for the change of colors and the feeling of returning to routine after the summer. But then I became a math grad student and I don't really have routines anymore, since I'm never "on break" but instead am always either sitting down and working on my thesis or lying down and fuming about my thesis, while still hungry and tired all the time due to the consistent lack of protein in my diet.

It would be nice to have seasons where I am constantly hungry and tired, but there are different clothes involved.

I sacrilegiously spent Couch Week taking advantage of having minimal work to do the most cardio I've done in a week in my life: 50 miles of running (not HIGH mileage for me, but moderately high) and about 150 miles of stationary biking (the most I've done when also running). Mt. Hood 50 Miler registration opens tomorrow and I wanted a confidence cherry to top off base building. (My training plan starts with much lower mileage than that.) But I also ate like a bag and a half of lindor chocolates, in the true spirit of Couch Week, so it's ok.

I'm still working around the limitations of my A-C joint, but in my first strength training session since turning 45, I did, inter alia, two sets of 31 pull-ups. At this rate, I might surpass the record of 36 I set when I was younger and less broken within the next month or two.

I love that Gideon loves food, push ups, and bashing things with a sword.

Mood.

Something I have not enjoyed is that I’ve really lost any sort of walking endurance - it took a big hit once I was done with school and got an office job and then once I started working from home my daily average step count went from more than 3,000 steps to 1,000 steps, a few months in the winter my daily average was down to 500. This has all been based on my phone so it’s not 100% accurate but, it makes sense that walking has been difficult, I’ve been doing wayyyy less of it.

ANYWAY I’ve wanted to improve because I generally enjoy walking, I’ve been working on it the last few weeks and I’ve gotten up to 2,600-ish steps a day as my daily average and I’m excited about that. It’s been getting easier. And I’m usually doing 8-10 flights of stairs a day too. My goal is too eventually work my way up to averaging 5,000 steps but I’m trying to build to it gradually so that it becomes a part of my routine that actually sticks.

when i finish my push ups i hold the last one real low, straining with my bowed head brushing carpet but not taking any weight off. This is to remember humility and pay respect to the abstract concepts of strength and power. i am a ridiculous person but you love it

went 4 my stupid little run, did a mediocre job that nonetheless was an improvement pace-wise on my initial outings, feeling resentful but also patting myself on the back 4 sticktoitiveness, i guess…

may have to up my mileage to keep getting Endorphin Benefits (or, you know, possibly just not take such an ambitious pace right out of the gate that i then have to stop and walk a bit, bc i think pushing thru the Ugh hump is part of what provides said benefits…?), which like. bad enough i gotta do this for my ““health”” and ““““happiness”””” or whatever, now i also gotta be thoughtful about it and invest more time and energy in it???? queerphobic tbh.

however. putting my metaphorical little rainbow sticker on my metaphorical little chart. collect 10 and win. something. 😮‍💨

I’m working on starting a consistent exercise routine again, which I know is ultimately good for both my physical and mental health, but gosh do I hate exercise.

#text post #my post #the only exercise I really like is swimmimg #and I do not have a pool or transportation to get to one regularly #sigh #whatever #it’ll still be good for me even if I do not enjoy it #ps please don’t reply with suggestions for how to make it enjoyable/tell me to take nice walks or dance or whatever #I know all of that :) #exercise cw

I've decided I'm going to the swimming pool next week! If it goes well I'm going to try and make it a routine. My mental health is suffering at the moment and I can see it going downhill very quickly if I don't get on top of it soon. Exercising within my limits has been incredibly helpful in the past and because of my mobility impairments, pain and injury risk it's very hard for me to exercise in other ways, so swimming pool it is.

It should also be really good for me physically to use the muscles I still can and take the pressure off my joints for a bit, but honestly my mental health is the most pressing thing right now.

I am worried about covid, but I'm going to go in the evening when it's a bit quieter. Hopefully the benefits outweigh the risks.

Hey Frank. What’s your favourite form of exercise? I’m trying CrossFit for the first time and I’m pretty intimidated.

My favorite thing is waking up with stiff shoulders and an aching back and knowing I'm going to feel like that all day.

Inter alia did two sets of 36 pull-ups today, which represents 45-year-old me tying 36-year-old me's lifetime record for a set.

My new years resolutions are going to be a sort of silly one about push ups (got inspired by Gideon the Ninth - don't look at me) and a serious one about finding a deckhand position for the coming year! Also want to get my keelboat certification and maybe plan for a move back to MN. Lots to deal with.
