Back to the Gym & A Few Updates
After a month (at least) of not going to the gym, I finally went back today. Brian has been working out a few days out of the week, or at least playing basketball. I’m still playing hockey and have gone to public skate a few times with some of my teammates.
The depression has made doing anything really tough, so I’m glad that I finally went. We didn’t go first thing in the morning, which is my preference, but at least I did it.
I just did a 30-minute cardio work-out and some stretching instead of 20 minutes of cardio, lifting, and stretching, which is what we usually do on Sundays. I figure it was enough that I actually went.

Still depressed. Brian almost literally has to drag me out the door, even to go to hockey practice and games. Feel overwhelmed in general. Sleep schedule still sucks shit. (Lame attempt at alliteration–my creativity sure is flowing. Pfft.)
Went to Target today; they had the SW LEGO sets I wanted! Made a deal with Brian–bought all three I’ve waited so long for, but can only open the extremely cool LEGO Star Destroyer that counts as a combo belated birthday/Christmas present, so we can return the other two (B-wing, which I swear is going to be retired soon, and Imperial Landing Craft) in case we need the money. Also means I have to get off my butt and sell the unopened, non-SW LEGO sets I’ve been meaning to list on e(vil)-Bay. All retired, though, so I should make a profit. When I make the money back, then I get to open them.
Been meaning to upload holiday and scrimmage pics. Trying to create and maintain a hockey blog here. Trying to fix old, old blog posts nobody reads except for the few SW fans that visit the bloggo and to get rid of the lame Amazon Associates links. Plus, I can track my moods and stuff in the archives.
Been meaning to do a lot of things like respond to comments and visit your blogs, but haven’t. Guess that’s why I feel so overwhelmed. Like Charred said in a recent comment, “Inhale. Exhale. Repeat as necessary.” And place one foot in front of the other. Thanks for sticking by me through this rough period.

Hey there,
I haven’t been dropping by as much as I like either, though mainly for far happier reasons
I so cross my fingers for your depression to lift quickly. Great work on going to the gym - never mind what you did there, getting there and doing anything sounds awesome. You’re doing a great job!

I’m feeling pretty far down myself right now. ;( I do hope you’ll feel better.

I hear exercising releases endorphins. I can only assume it’s true because I’ve personally never felt any kind of “runner’s high”. More like runner’s wheezing in my case. Anyway, keep at it! You’ll get through it.
