Because of the Exciting and Terrifying Back ThingTM at the beginning of the year, I have slid back into my sloth-like ways with a vengeance. I hate exercise no matter what, but now there's my vague fear of something making my back do the thing again. (While I wouldn't go to the hospital if there is a next time, heavy pain medication is nowhere near as fun as I thought it would be, and using a walker is just ugh.)
So. I need to exercise. I'm going to try to actually go for walks in the evening, when the Dreaded Orb is setting*, but I also know I need to do something that works my core muscles that doesn't involve lying on the floor.
... hey Self, isn't there a stack of belly dance exercise for beginners DVDs over there? Didn't you really like that when you were using them, uh, 15 years ago?
I guess I know what I'm trying this evening.
*I keep hoping that I'll eventually get the really cool symptoms of vampirism like mind control or being able to turn into a cloud of bats, because these sensitivity to garlic and sunlight ones are boring.
