also exercise

I also have some bigger-picture improvements I would like to make (becoming a better-informed and better-read person; making an effort to arrive at a more distinct creative identity, especially in terms of visual art; learning camping and survival skills) but for now I'll start with something I already do half-assedly, which is exercise.

I tend to exercise in extended bursts but then, if I find myself getting even remotely busy (and that includes being "busy" drinking beers), I forget about it for several days. I would like to stop doing this.

There are 3 kinds of exercise I've been doing lately -- arm thingies, a "Pilates for Dummies" DVD (which I have memorized and can now do while watching programming of my choice), and taking walks up in the hills. So, my new goal is to do ONE of these three things every day, ideally alternating in some fashion. I will even try to do this immediately after I get home from work (that is, before eating dinner), so I am the least likely to get distracted by other things. Besides hunger.
