Happiness Can(not) Wait

Personal health and fitness is obviously important. I also know I tend to write a little better after a workout. I’ve been trying to get into running because there is something to be said about that runner’s high. It’s rather enjoyable to sit at the desk and edit with a clear head, covered in sweat, mind still buzzing from the endorphins. But, now that school is in full swing and the homework is piling up, I’ve been going to the gym more (because it’s right there on campus) and I’ve decided to start killing two birds with one stone: I get my television time and my exercise time done in the 1-2 hour span I spend there.

Now I know some of the purists out there gasp at the thought. How can it be a real workout if I’m busy focusing on TV? Well to that I say. . . shrug lol. It’s my workout and if that’s what it takes for me to stay healthy that’s what I’m gonna do.

I will say, personally I have a blast on the elliptical, but sadly I was cursed blessed with this Y chromosome. So when the bros at the gym see me walking up to the cardio area, they’re left asking me Y am I wasting my time, and how much better my body will be if I lift weights with them.

This may be true, but when I’m on the elliptical I have Game of Thrones, so—you tell me what’s more important lol.

I have to thank HBO Go for making my gym experience something I actually look forward to now. I’ve gone now 9 out of the last 10 days and I’m feeling great. Isn’t consistency the most important thing anyway?

I don’t know. I just realized I’m writing on a book social media about the gym and television, maybe I should pick my audience better. But this is currently my favorite place to shoot the shit host a discussion on a wide range of topics. So I thought, why not just write a post on something in my life that’s making me happy?
