Or rather, I need to exercise.  I should take the &#8220;more&#8221; out of the previous sentence. I&#8217;ve been really lazy&#8230;.I think I&#8217;m metamorphising into a lump of lard.<br \/>\nThing is, in the morning it&#8217;s just too early to exercise. I drag myself out of bed between 6-6.30 every morning to get ready for work. To wake up any earlier to exercise is simply inhumane.<br \/>\nBut there seems to be no other time to exercise. After work, it&#8217;ll be late. Either that, or I&#8217;ll be out with friends. So I end up not doing anything, which is terrible.<br \/>\nAnd I don&#8217;t want to join a gym either. Seems that everyone&#8217;s a member of some gym. I hate gyms &#8216;cos it&#8217;s such a sterile place. Just reminds me of the office again, &#8216;cos it&#8217;s all indoors. Stuck within four walls. Blah. And running on a treadmill just reminds me of a pet hamster\/rat running in its wheel.<br \/>\nI went swimming last night though. It was very refreshing. I enjoy swimming. I love the water and how it just seems to rejuvenate me when I glide through it. I&#8217;m a water sports kinda gal. I wished I could do more of it. You know, things like water-skiing, sailing, diving etc&#8230;.unfortunately these sports are all very expensive. *grumble grumble*<br \/>\nI miss the sun too. I haven&#8217;t been getting much of it these days. I love the feel of the sun&#8217;s rays on my skin. Unfortunately, work hours make it difficult for me to catch any sun. I&#8217;m becoming so pale! Eeeks! I&#8217;m a far cry from my junior college days when I was so fit and tan because of my training for the dragonboat and canoeing team. I&#8217;ve never reached the same level of fitness ever since.<br \/>\nNow I&#8217;m thinking of taking tennis lessons. I really need to learn how to hit the ball properly, especially when it comes to my backhand. That&#8217;s practically non-existent. Some outdoor sport would be good. I have enough of the aircon and recycled air in the office.<br \/>\nWhat I need is an exercise buddy. That way, I&#8217;ll have more motivation to exercise. I realise I hate exercising alone.  Anyone needs an exercise buddy, or knows of anyone who needs one or is interested to have one???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I need to exercise more.
