I've come to the realization that exercise/ getting into some sort of shape is (theoretically) kinda like trying to quit smoking (or staying on the wagon of your choice). It's an on-going process, and there are going to be set-backs and lapses. So I slip up and have a drink when I should be at an AA meeting. Doesn't mean I'm a failure, just means I need to work harder. So maybe I meant to go running 5 times this week. Failing to go running on Tuesday doesn't mean I can slack off on Wednesday through Friday. Take this all to mean to that I'm trying to get back into running, and not finding it easy.
To continue the drugs analogy, if you're hooked on heroin (in my case,
Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind), it's probably a bad idea to try to wean yourself off by getting yourself hooked on crack (
Unreal Tournament) and huffing paint (
Kongregate).
In a totally unrelated note, I never read Where the Wild Things Are as a kid, and I have almost no desire to see it. I can only take this as further evidence that I'm a horrible person.
