Before I worked, when I was unemployed, I played basketball almost everyday. I did it because there was nothing else to do. It blew off pent up energy.
Since I was unemployed for a long time, I got in pretty good shape….as fit as I’d been since parts of college…..and that was a long time ago when I was a young lad.
I was afraid when I started work I’d get fat. Working makes you fat from inactivity, fat because you eat for entertainment, and fat because you’re too tired to do anything after you finish it.
All those things are pretty true, even now for me. I do sit all day. I do eat because it is fun…at least at dinner. At lunch and breakfast I’m stuffing my funny little face as fast as I can because I have too much to do. That can’t be healthy. And I am unbelievably tired at the end of the day.
But I still get a lot of exercise…not as much as when I was unemployed or in college, but probably 3 or 4 times a week at an hour and a half a pop.
The reason is because, though work is very inactive, it is also very stressful….there is often so much to do that the only sure fire way to get my mind off it is to get crazy exercise, not just a jog….but the sweat till you’re dehydrated kind of exercise. I’ve been playing a lot of tennis.
Additionally, if I don’t go get exercise, I often have to fight off falling asleep from about 6:30 till 9. That makes me feel like shit.
There is one other sure fire way to get your mind off work. It starts with a B and rhymes with “ear”. If you can’t figure out what it is….then you’ve already had too much of it.
