In retrospect, would you have changed your vote?

I usually wouldn’t reply to this kind of post (since people are pretty entrenched in their views on these things), but I have to ask. Do you really think that many Americans share the idea that it doesn’t matter who is elected to high offices, and that it doesn’t matter which policies are chosen by said very wealthy…

View to a Kill?

I’d like to have a whole series of “Fuck X. He’s the Y of field Z.”

Seriously though she was so beautiful.

That can change, actually. I always hated exercise, but once I started doing it, I found it to be enjoyable. Sometimes during the exercise itself, but almost always afterwards. And I definitely enjoy the general effects it has on my health and mental state.

It might be helpful to find a group, which can make previously unfun things more fun, and the support you get from the group can also help with motivation.

I think it really depends. For me, I saw very few results at the beginning, and then everyone was like “Holy crap, you lost a lot of weight.” For my partner it was the same - she was running for almost a year, and then everyone suddenly noticed that she was looking awesome.

That’s a really great comment!

I like swimming before work, but to be honest, while it makes me more relaxed and IDGAF during the day, it also kicks my ass and makes me tired. So I tend to do it weekend mornings or weekday nights, as a result.

I’m basically like you, but I recently found that I like participating in some competitions, but when I set my own goals. So for example, I participated in a 5k race, but my goal was to finish the race. I didn’t feel like I was competing with anyone there.

I also hate the gum, but found that I like swimming and running.

I can only share what worked for me.

For me, running on a treadmill - impossible. Running in my neighborhood - awesome :)

Close to 40, I got disgusted with the results of my sedentary lifestyle, took some adult swimming classes, and started swimming. After a couple of years, and inspired by my partner, I joined a running group. Important disclaimer: I have always hated running with a fiery hatred.

Wow, Chandler is looking a lot better these days.

Starred for the White Stripes mention :)

Douche Magoo is a great name.

What’s the competition? I think it’s definitely the funniest I’ve seen in ages.

I can’t stand it when people don’t use the right names for things. The third ‘vagina’ should have been ‘vulva.’
