Love not sleep<\/em> {Prov. 20:13}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than spend money … spend energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exercise.  Free, and unlike sex, no real consequences, apart from injury, and that’s personal thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment is always optional and the decision to seek treatment is peculiar to the individual \u2026 it\u2019s good that only you can feel your pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t have to do it every day, just on the days that end in a “y” … ba-dum-bump<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two birds, one stone.  All dead.  (remember pet rocks? I love capitalism)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\/me\/we assume\/presume\/guess? that you (Other Person You) has figured out by now that all of us here are almost pathologically lazy … like, if breathing weren’t connected to brain stem activity it’s unlikely there would be effort.  SO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical fitness.  The fitness of the physical form.  Getting in shape. Round is a shape, just not optimal for humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All about the easy ’round here \u2026 \u2018cuz don\u2019t have to jump tractor tires with a heavy ball to achieve better health.  Go for a walk \u2026 use the mall for walking rather than shopping.  Many of the olds do it \u2026 maybe take a hint?  And join!  But they will talk to you, so there\u2019s that<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, before making the click for crap \u2026 here\u2019s a personal punishment \u2013 do 10x jumping jacks, 10x sit-ups (or sit downs \u2026 they have that torture too) \u2026 10x leg lifts (each one, presuming both \/ apologies if not)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it is difficult to quit the spending habit (like nibbling on nailflesh \u2026 ewww where have those been?!?) find yourself (Other Person You) spending \u2018cuz bored \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 then cause some physical pain to the form (DIGRESS heard humans described as brains trapped in a bone cage shrouded in meat coated in self-replicating membrane I like it) as prerequisite to spending must associate shopping with pain  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like it.  Give more<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal?  Occupy self otherwise.  Health (phys\/ment\/spirit) is good, and don\u2019t spend<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And HEY! No need for workout outFITS\/gear \u2026 you (Other Person You) have old clothes and shoes, or do it naked that\u2019ll be fun (oh the flop \u2026 make sure Half and theKid are gonegonegone or will be gonegonegone) \u2026 use what\u2019s around \/ lift the dog they like that and will lick you BUT NOT NAKED NOT NAKED AROUND THE DOG that\u2019s just nah-ha-ha-steee)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caveat: shoes.  Hard to exercise without shoes, so \u2026 shoes.  If closet full of click-clacks or workboots or stilettos or kitten heels (cats in shoes?) \u2026 need exercise shoes.  But can do cheap\/inexpensive\/frugal shoes \u2026 don\u2019t need $1000K footgear.  Please don\u2019t.  And why?  THIS IS NOT THRIFTSHOP \u2026 ALIEN FOOT SWEAT NONONONONONONONO<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key to the lock of physical fitness?  Routine.  Make it like brushing teeth \u2026 can skip but gums may bleed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Office parks are good, too, make a circuit.  After hours, tho\u2019 \u2018cuz workpeople there might look strangely at you (Other Person You) doing bicep curls with the dog around the parking lot.  Word of caution<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sidewalks work too, but there are people.  Watch OUT the olds can\u2019t dodge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
