Rumination and evaluation...

[fajrdrako]

I went to the fitness club today to do weights, and thought about how my 2004 programme has deteriorated. I haven't done crunches in days; it's the first time I've done weights this week; my diet has been all over the place.

I was enjoying it all, when I was doing it properly. Time to get back on track. I signed up for the rowing class again tomorrow.

So why did I start skimping and skipping? First, because with the Simple Steps programme and the yoga and the walking and working and sleeping I was running out of time in the day. I need time to read, write and do fannish stuff (like write in the LJ and read mailing lists). That isn't even counting the occasional movie, or watching Smallville, which is essentially the only thing I watch these days, though I do want to see that show about the Medici that was on PBS last week. I taped it.

So: something has to give just to fit things into the day. And what gave was... housework, first. Exercise, second.

I'll get it right. Time to start trying again.

Meanwhile, the weights were fun.

Haha. I give them some slack just because I get semi-excited just to see people talking about history on tv, as I don't think there's enough about it (ignoring the history channel). I would love to see you go through this process (in person). Could be fun.

That was so badly written, I'm embarrassed.

Heh. It wasn't so bad. I understood every word.

You are too kind. See, if Lymond had written that, it would have been... well, elegant.

Re:

Yes - Lymond is a master of elegance. But if we compare ourselves to him, we'll never meet the standard!

I generally do ignore the history channel. Way too much history that isn't history, IMHO. 20th century stuff. Recent memory.

Yes, seeing history on TV is great in theory and there are some things I've loved. There was a strange British show called "The Devil's Crown" about the Plantagenets - ever see it? Great fun. Other things stand out in my memory as good, but there's so much drek....

Haven't seen it. Sounds like fun. I agree about the History Channel and their Modern Marvels, which is on all the time, and of which I have absolutely no interest. I like anything prior to 1800. I will tune in for that specifically. I will tune in for things 19th century -ish if it involves England, and possibly Dickens.

I think my interest in history extends further all the time - maybe up to about 1920 now, or even 1925. But I regret the lack of accessible, accurate popular material on the middle ages, especially the early middle ages.
