weights – The Diary of The Deranged Writer

10-Minute Warning CXLIX

A quick update: After weeks of no exercise, I finally left the house to walk and jog for an hour tonight. It feels so good to exercise after work hours. I want to do this more often again.

That brings me to a resolution for 2025: I need to fully work out more. In addition to walking and jogging, I should add more aerobics, calisthenics, or weight training. To start my resolution early, I will slowly add aerobics and calisthenics this November and December 2024, and then add weight training in 2025. That means I will apply for a gym membership or find a way to work out at home. Wish me luck on this!

And that’s all I can say for now. See you tomorrow.

Song of the Moment XX: Spice Girls’ “Stop”

Hi, everyone. Before I start this 200th post on The Diary (and the 20th Song of the Moment post), I need to explain something: Once again, I didn’t update The Diary on a Wednesday. Why? Because I was too sad to talk about anything. Hell, I don’t feel like finishing my post about my lowest point ever. I just wanted to do other things like running on the treadmill, lifting weights, rest for several hours, and spending time with my family… and I did all of those things and it made me feel better. To top it all off, I also watched several movies from the British action comedy Hot Fuzz (for the nth time) to the remake of the action flick Road House.

Now that I feel better, I will post something this weekend – probably on Sunday.

Anyway, what is my Song of the Moment right now? It’s my favorite Spice Girls song next to “Too Much” – “Stop”. Thank you very much, my favorite girl group, for cheering me up. Now, let me do the chorus dance in my room.

The music video of Spice Girls’ “Stop”.

That is all.

10-Minute Warning CXII

Hi, everyone. I was supposed to write a post last night but forgot because I enjoyed my midnight cardio and workout. Enjoying exercise over blogging… is that a good thing? Of course, it is. I need to take care of my physical health as much as my mental health. And honestly, I missed lifting weights. I need to lift more weights as much as I do a lot of walking and jogging.

However, I need to follow my blogging schedule next time – every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (Philippine Standard Time). That means I should write before working out.

I will be back to regular blogging tomorrow. See you all!
