| I think this is why structure is so important for some people, too. Absolutely. I am currently trying, and so far failing, to come up with the "right" structure" to support an exercise routine. I used to loathe structure, rebel against it. Now I long for it, for it to be "given" to me, because it t... |

| Yay! Great about the progress, shatbat and amboxer21! :D I like writing lists too when going shopping. And for a lot of other things too. :lol I managed to exercise this morning, weights and then wall-press-ups with some callanetics/stretching warm-up and cool-down, which was great ... but probably ... |

| i think you have a key point here. i tried googling contra-causal free will and i don't really understand it, though. what does it mean? This is a good site about it, ( which was recommended to me by someone here on WP a couple of years ago now :D ). http://www.naturalism.org/freewill.htm The reaso... |

| Absolutely awesome and fascinating thread! :D Among several very interesting posts, I thought that Janissy's points about "eating because feel hungry but a combination of food and hormones makes body store the food as fat rather than use as energy, so that feel hungry ... etc etc etc" was great. And... |

| Someone tell me to get off my butt and go walking. Get of your butt and go walking :lol: ... Walking is better if you've got somewhere to walk to though. I never go out to just "take a walk", but if there is some place I must go less than 1 hour away then I'll get going. Maybe it is easier if it ha... |

| I can see what happens there, and actually can vouch for it. I remember I exercised regularly from Feb. 2010 to March 2011, where I had a huge meltdown and lost my will to keep going. Only very recently I started exercising again. Great, well done for starting again. :) The thing about it is, somet... |

| Yeah, I was looking at this yesterday, with my 12 year old son, and wondering whether to get it. It does look amazing. I love the genres it uses, and the way it references so many famous horror and RL-fantasy books, films and traditions. Not sure if our internet connection would be up to it, but my ... |

| :D Ok, so I managed to do some exercise again today, and I think the trick may be to do it first thing on getting up, which we had done for perhaps 2 months, and which was working, before I decided to try the supposedly oh-so healthy breakfast experiment which insisted on breakfast within an hour of... |

| Those who are like me probably don't post about it because we engage in it regularly because we enjoy it, we don't need that external motivation. Some of us here do have different things we enjoy that do give us a good amount of balance all around. ... While I think it's great you're getting into f... |

| Long term, most people don't stick to exercise unless it's something they truly enjoy. They might do it for a few months or a year or two, but when they go through a bad period, the exercise will be one of the first things that they stop doing if they don't enjoy it. I don't know about you, but I w... |

| Diet can make an enormous difference. I could hardly believe the difference it made when I cut out gluten and casein and sugar the first time ever in 1992. After just four days I woke up from the most amazing sleep feeling as if I had been transported overnight from a shopping mall next to a buildin... |

| In Tannenbaum's book there's also a decent introduction to micro assembly language, which is what takes care of executing the instructions. ... Also, while you're at it, you might want to take a look at binary logic. I'm sure there are lots of emulators for that ... . The logic gates are what make ... |

| To be honest its just kind of my personality to want to know why and how things work. I so identify with this. I have just started learning Python, with my nearly 13 year old son, and we are also doing some reading around "Computer Science" ... ( lots of Wiki and "How Stuff Works" for the moment :l... |
