Hopefully getting back into lifting for fun again. Mom bought me a fit bit, so I figured that was somehow a sign that it's time to get moving on a more regimented schedule again. I go for jogs a few times a week when the weather cooperates, but lifting has been out of my reach until now.

My sister recently picked up baking, and has just went to town making some crazy delicious stuff, but this has placed a huge burden on my family who for the most part keeps a healthier diet. It's pretty cool though.

What's not cool are these confirmation hearings though. I became pretty sick after watching Betsy DeVos' hearing.

    Hopefully getting back into lifting for fun again.

I've been thinking about what motivates people to exercise recently. What makes so you find fun about lifting? What motivates you?

It's a pretty meditative deal for me. I find it really helps me put things in perspective. It's just this time of the day where I go to exert a lot of energy, focus on pretty basic movements, and just breathe. With all that goes on day to day, lifting serves as a real way to refocus.

It's also pretty cool when I lift a box at work, and it gets easier to pick up hahaha.

Good job on taking up lifting! From a person who sits on his ass all day: physical activity is important; frailty is not.
