I had a really odd conversation with a vendor outside of Trader Joe's, one of the stranger points was when I was talking about covid interfering with my ability to exercise as much as I used to and she started going on about exercise being good for "spiritual balance" (fuck if I know what that means) and I go "I'm just trying to keep from gaining weight" and she actually registered surprise at the idea that exercise is good for maintaining a healthy weight!

To each their own. At least she was exercising, so her reasons aren't as important as the activity. I agree with you, though. I exercise to keep from becoming fat again, something that I won't tolerate.

Pah. She was just transposing interpretation of exercise outcome to fit her world view. Apparently "spiritual balance" is oh-so-much-more sexy than reducing the blahs and increasing metabolic rate. I like magic as much as the next person and I really really would like a unicorn now please thanks, but I'm not holding my breath.
