Living and writing

More realizations are coming to me as I focus on my writing. It’s not that’s too surprising but I’m finding that the days I’m working out I have a greater drive to create. Fresh oxygen, adrenaline, and endorphins pour into my brain and kick start my creative engine. Further, I’m also finding a desire to exercise. The idea of looking forward to exercising is such a bizarre and amazing experience. Granted, I realize the three reasons above that are kick starting my mind are probably giving me a bit of a happy buzz in terms of chemical release. Such movement based bliss might even become addictive.

Guess I’ll have to suffer with an addiction to having a healthy body then, eh?

How about the rest of you? Do you get a buzz from working out? It’s exhausting I know, but do you feel good afterwards? I’m interested in hearing what any of you have to say about living a healthier and active lifestyle?

    Since my wife began dieting in march,our whole household has had to live healthier and it is definitely addictive. I have begun walking with her in the evenings and find that i miss it a lot on those nights that we can’t walk.

    I also have found that a lot of the bad foods we used to eat make me sick if i sneak them in.(mcburgers in particular)

    as for writing, I know I am much more productive if I feel good. a well rested and happy body lead to a happy mind.

    glad to hear your doing well…

    I know the feeling. I hadn’t had fast food from a major chain for years, and a friend bought me a McGriddle… I felt horribly sick afterward.

    With my wife, we’re doing two different routes. She’s going yoga and Quong for her exercise. I’m doing free weights, an exercise bike, and general flexes and crunches. Not sure which is better but I think in the long term I’m burning more calories and building a better metabolism.
