How to self-motivate

There’s really only two ways that I can be convinced to stay in shape. The first is through excessive sports playing. Whenever I can, I average being on two to three teams at a time, playing basketball, soccer, and volleyball. With some swimming thrown in there at the same time, I’ll get and stay pretty fit.

The other reason is stress. This is the reason I’m staying fit during this rotation. There’s nothing like running and weights to get out the anger and frustration which can pop up from dealing with fscking morons all day, every day. In fact, if I didn’t exercise, people would be much more worried about the fact that I control access to the ammunition and weapons for the entire staff. Even though a little slaughter may be the best way to ensure a prompt change of command, I’d like to come out of it alive and unincarcerated. Which is why I run. My current goal is 3 miles in 21 minutes, and it looks like I’ll be making it by the time go home rolls around. At that point, I’ll have to fight the pull of yummy crappy fast food to maintain a good shape instead of the roly-poly one I’d assume on my own…

  1. i find it hard to think of fast food as anything but crappy!! i really have a problem with things like chips and crap like that!
    it is hard to keep the working out on a normal basis up, but it is worth it i have heard.
    oh and i thought the weapon idea of stress relief is a great idea, but you know i can understand why people outside the family would look down on it ;)

  2. If I slip you a list of names, can you maybe take out a little frustration on them? Just a tiny bit?

  3. Sure, I could probably do that kind of job without getting cought. ;)
