I used to exercise more or less naturally, without feeling like I was forcing myself. But then I got into a state for years where every kind of exercise hurt or exercising tired me out for days afterward. But exercise (short for: moving my body) is really important for managing my diabetes. So it got to where I was beating myself up a lot about it.

Now rather than beat myself up I wait until I feel like exercising. And I have noticed that I do feel like it on a regular basis (if not "vigorously every day for 90 minutes," which the gummint says that as a fatty I need), it's not something I Have To Make Myself Do.

Feeling like exercising feels like a small restlessness combined with a small brain fog.
