Gym got new treadmills, so of course I broke them in the only way I know how:

Studying competitive Pokémon battling while staving off the (literal) looming threat of the McDonald's across the street.

(I accidentally hit outdoor run instead of indoor on my watch. The result is hysterical.)

Lynne Thigpen as "The Chief" from Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego

Lock the fuck in, Gumshoes. Carmen Sandiego stole a priceless wax pressing of "One of These Nights" by the Eagles. You've got to stop her before she travels back in time to 149 BC Carthage and trades it to Scipio Africanus the Younger for a kilo of the good shit.

"Are you fucking going to play as Rugal again?" asked a voice when I reached the Neo Geo MVS machine. "I absolutely, 100 percent, am not going to play as Rugal again," I promised, punching the buttons to select Rugal, which I had memorized.

Honestly? I went to Staples and just started sitting in chairs. I ended up with a ~$100 gaming chair that felt good in all the normal positions I sit in, and it had arms I could raise when I'm about to play a fighting game.

tl;dr I didn't wanna drop big cash on a chair I couldn't try out first

Why tf granola got so many calories in it??

They also have this machine that I can only describe as

You know the blood pressure pump they strap around your arm at the doctor? It's one of those, except for your legs and hips; I put on these "pants" and they compress with air.

It's *magical*.

Good:

Bad: if I have to do the pigeon pose one more time, I think I'm legally allowed to call myself a yogi and open a studio lmao.

Ugly: my balance standing on one leg is atrocious. It makes sense I'm having hip problems now.

Running PT day has finally arrived. Assuming I survive, I'll be the fittest motherfucker on the planet.

Thread incoming with all the details and tea, obviously.

❌ internal discipline
✅ gamifying the system so there's a treat at the end of the level

Goal #1 reached (way faster than expected), so I bought myself a tank top I've been wanting.

Yes, pics will be coming later.

A cry for help.

"Which part?"

Yes.

Update 2: I'm already hungry again 😭

Followup: "Buy a meal, get a take-home entree for $5!"

Yeah, I'm not turning down grilled chicken and a carb for $5. I've spent way more for way less, AND I don't have to cook. Win-win.
