I haven't exercised all week because the weather has been bad, and I've been busy, and then I got lazy. But today I decided I was getting back on the wagon and went for a big, fast walk. But then I came home and I was really hungry so I made a big pot of pasta with basil pesto and bacon. So they probably cancel each other out. I should have just saved time by not walking and not eating all that pasta for lunch, and just stayed home and read the paper instead.
In a class once I learnt this statistic that exercising 3 times a week can add to your life expectancy such and such years. But the amount of time you need to spend exercising to achieve this result is roughly equivalent to how much time you will add to your life if you did the exercise. So you might as well just not go to the gym and use that time for more pleasant activities.
I kinda felt like that today, except that my walk was fairly pleasant anyway.
