Just trying to get in one session this week. Was busy on Monday. Wednesday, I followed the anti-rule* of socializing over lifting. As I always say, I hate lifting in the summer.

*When you’re first starting to create a positive habit, you feel terrible if you “skip” a workout. Back in 2005, I once told a friend I couldn’t hang out because I was going to the gym. I promptly decided this was bullshit, and now will skip most workouts if I’m having an awesome time with friends. I lift to keep myself healthy and enjoy the rest of my life, not so it overtakes my life and becomes unenjoyable.

Everquest can be an addiction. Lifting is still something I have to MAKE myself do.
