Can I just choose one?
The exercise thing is fine for me. I wasn't a very active child, so I've got all of that energy stored up. And it didn't really matter when I was seven. I wasn't that attractive, so a few extra lb's wasn't going to make much of a difference.
I love to run. It's good for my mind. It's all about rhythm and it allows me to meditate. Repetitive movement. And it's kind of masculine. Well, as long as I'm not flailing my arms about. For the record, I don't run like a girl.
Lifting weights. Actually not a bad thing. I think for a long time I didn't know what the hell I was doing. But you read enough MEN'S HEALTH issues and...well, you masturbate a lot. But when you're done with that, you're left with knowledge of proper form. I actually see my body changing, and the results are good.
P90X. I love. I love knowing how to do a proper push up. And I love that I CAN do a proper one. The exercises for the most part are basic and old school and THAT makes me feel like a total bro. It's a moderately important label. And I love the guy who leads the videos: "DO your best and forget the rest." It's just pure entertainment. And I've seen great results. I love a dive bomber push up. I love getting up early to do it. I love that the exercises only last 30 seconds. And I love variety. I love that there's hard core yoga and kickboxing. Like I said, it makes me feel like a bro.
Insanity. Just started this. I don't like it. It's made by Beach Body, the same folks who do P90x. But it doesn't have as much variety and you do the exercises for much longer. Also no demonstration of modified movement. That bugs. I'll give it another shot, but not loving it now.
Dancing. Going to the club. Taking a Hip Hop class at the gym. Standing at the barre for an hour. Going across the floor. It's very FAME (the original). And I love to dance. It does not make me feel like a bro. But I do feel strong and expressive.
Food. It's my weakness. If this was "Shoop", and Salt n' Pepa asked the proverbial question:
"Girls, what's my weakness?"
I'd respond back: "FOOD!"
Okay then. I'm not going to make the same list of different healthy food choices.
VEGAN
MACROBIOTIC
RAW FOOD DIET
BLOOD TYPE
No way. How about Diabetic Inducing? I love food. I don't like to monitor my intake, my frequency, my amount, my fat levels. I just love to eat it and smile when I'm done. I feel very accomplished. Sometimes I throw my hands up when I'm done with a meal.
TA-DA!
Or I look like a gymnast trying to stick a landing. Then I wait for my scores.
I love Italy. Fresh pasta. I love steak. I love bone marrow. Offal. I just love food. It's good. I love a good salad too. I make them. I go to Soupplantation. But it would be really difficult for me to get all militant on my meal planning. I'm Mexican. I love enchiladas. And I'm also Chinese. I love chicken with black bean sauce and egg rolls.
But I do need to find a magic way to just take off a few extra pounds so that I'm ready for that moment when I take my shirt off, as a recently single human being. Ugh. All of that pressure just makes me hungry. Good thing I'm going to Houston's for lunch to meet a friend. I'm sure they'll have something I'll like.

Exercise as a way to Support Certain Habits
I don't know who likes to work out. I know there are people who do, but they are not MY people.
My people like to drink, eat, smoke and fuck. That is a great life.
But when you think about it, a run is great cure for a hangover. And in order to eat what you want for as long as you want, you have to exercise. So the exercise supports the eating - okay, that'll get me in the gym.
There's really no excuse for smoking, other than I look cool doing it. So that will be minimal, but again, I like doing things in moderation.
And fucking. Well, you gotta look good for other people will fuck you. And I've got too much love, energy, dirty thoughts, exhibitionism, and roleplay ideas to stop fucking. And I'm not old.
Conclusion: You need to get to the gym.
I know it's a cliche to lose weight when you get out of a relationship. For me, exercise is an exercise is streamlining. My body (I'm not posting a picture of it on here, so don't ask) is not bad. I'm about 5'10", 175-178, and the last time I checked my body fat percentage was at about 16.8. But I could tweak that a bit.
Height: That I can't tweak. I might be gay, but I don't think I'm going to get any dates by wearing heels.
Weight: I probably could lose about 10 pounds, as long as I had some good muscle weight and lower my body fat percentage. My weight is fine, but for pure vanity reasons, I want to get rid of some back fat.
Body Fat: Okay, so I could lose some. I'm not sure how much. Maybe 2-3%. I don't know what's healthy, so I'm going to Google that. I could ask some fit gay friends, but those bitches aren't the most healthy. We've got bad body perception, people! 10% sounds like a good number, but how skinny is that? Maybe 12. Oh, I'm just picking numbers, better consult someone who knows these things.
I actually have done P90X and have loved it. I wrote on another blog about my experiences. And it really improved my strength. It's hardcore and it really takes over your life, so it's a hard thing for me to do intensely. But the results speak for themselves.
So here's where I set another goal for myself.
GOAL: Have the body I want by my birthday in February.
That's three months. And conveniently, so is P90X. I'm starting this week. With the diet, too. Oy! But it'll be easier because I'm not living with somebody with no self control.
That means I have to start today. Ugh. I'm going to do the P90X strength workouts and diet. What does that mean? Lots of exercises using body weight: pushups, pull ups, squats. And lowering my carb intake and portion control.
Now to the fun part. P90X does three types of cardio. They do Plyometrics, which is jump training. Yoga. And kickboxing.
I'm going to switch out the plyometrics with a hip hop class at my gym. Or any dance class. I think when I get my dance legs and core back, I'm going to go take an actual class at a studio. GOAL.
Yoga. In another blog, I talked about Hot Nude Yoga. If I'm going to take a yoga class, I might as well have the possibility of an erection. Check.
Kickboxing. Well, there's no way around that. Kickboxing is just too much damn fun. And since I don't have a kickboxing partner, I'm just going to use the bags at the gym. But who knows? If this working out goes well, maybe I'll get myself a sparring partner. Who does Nude Yoga with me. And can dance. And if they can dance, that means they can fuck. And if they're willing to indulge themselves, maybe they like to eat well. Like tearing into a good piece of steak. Grrrrr. And after a glass of red wine (drink), it's good to have a smoke. It's very Parisian.
Oh! Maybe we'll be in Paris. Or maybe I'll MEET him in Paris. GOAL.
