I started doing the whole #fitness thing about 4 months ago after I was diagnosed with depression, and it's really helped a lot. The thing is my gym's a 40 minute bus ride away, so it's really easy to say I don't have time to go. I have still gotten stronger from the times I do go however.

I got a Fitbit Charge HR about a week ago. Since then I've been using it as motivation since I'm extremely interested in data. I've been using it for running, since that's a really convenient exercise I can do in only 20-30 minutes. I challenged myself today, and managed to do a 20 minute run, managing about 9.05 km/h. Before last week I hadn't ran since track and field in grade 5. I'm pretty impressed with my results.

I won't lie, I hate exercising. I hate being tired, and I hate continuing anyways, but I've also gained an appreciation for how I feel a half hour after my workout, when my body's recuperating, and my body's giving me the feel-good chemicals. There's really nothing like a good workout before a long night. It makes everything so much more pleasant.
