"Psychotraumatology" talks about exercise as a component of stress mgmt. Large muscles burn off stress hormones and generate endorphins related to stress reduction. On a larger plane, I'm finding that exercise opens perspectives for me. It "gets me out to blow the stink off." (My dad's expression.) I feel better, not just physically, but also emotionally. Exercise provides a long-term objective, and reinforces long-term objectives. It's a metaphysical nexus, expands my Weltanschauung.
I was 235.8 lbs this morning. I've never seen the "5" on the scale. Last night I got bananas, apples, and Triscuits at CostCo. Triscuits are whole wheat, baked -- good medium for sardines (Omega 3).
I'm getting back on track. We're dressing for the weather. Gawd knows I have clothing to address the weather dressing.
One hour out on the west end waterfront. There are several trash barrels, and so I picked up some of the more egregious litter. I think the movement aids flexibility in the back region. No back problems probably because I was moving and reaching, getting off the paved path, breaking up my stride.
