Horse Track, Casino, Exercise

I went to State Fair Park with my roommate on both Saturday and Sunday, and I had an absolute blast. What a good way to pass an afternoon. I highly recommend that you try it. It's cheap, everybody gets excited, there's decent food, everything. When the horses are running, everybody in the stands is yelling for their horse, and all of the horses are fairly evenly matched, so most of the races are close. I'm going to be doing this more over the summer.

I haven't been to the casino for a long time, and I really want to go. I'm less certain that I'm going to play in the big game that I was planning on playing in. That's the sort of self-destructive behavior that I'm constantly working on eliminating from my life, but is always going to pop up. I'll likely go in the next day or two.

I've started lifting a tiny bit with some dumbbells that we have at home, and I'm quite motivated to start really exercising again. I need to go sign up at the YMCA. I know there is science involved that explains why exercising makes you feel better, but I think the psychology of simply accomplishing and sticking with something that betters yourself is what benefits me the most.
