I'm not doing too well on the active or academic fronts, so I'm not sure I have much to offer here anymore. Do I need to exercise? Yes. Do I still dislike it intensely? Yes. Have I found anything that interests me enough to make the sweat bearable? No.
I did go to the gym today, the first time in I can't tell you how many months. I suppose the guilt has to reach a critical point before I finally give in. I managed 30 minutes on the treadmill and 10 minutes on the bike, a decent start after some fairly sedentary months. I know I'll feel better and possibly look better if I keep it up but I also know that I rarely stick with it - the boredom and the busy-ness usually take over.
Anyway, I don't know how often I'll post but kudos to everyone who's sticking with the plan!

Hey Phd Me! Good to hear from you! Though you have not been active or academic, you are making the effort. That, in itself, is a battle.
Congrats on going to the gym yesterday and documenting it here. It is the small things that we have to celebrate because they lead to bigger things over time.
Do keep us posted (even if it is only once a week) on your progress (whether it is lack of motivation, frustration, or successes). We're here to support ya!
First, cheers to you for getting back into a routine. It's great that you did it.
Second, it's great to hear from you. Remember, no pressure to post. Just pop in when you can!
Don't let the guilt override the fact that you got up and did something. I know it's hard to look at it like that, but it does help. So what that I didn't exercise for this long? I did it today!
