What's in a blog? ... 7 soul-enhancing benefits of working out

Started to write a blog entry concerning my personal preferences for a healthy lifestyle. I sounded bitter, angry, self-righteous and a regular Mr. Know-it-all." So I deleted the post. Felt better immediately after deleting.

So how does one share their beliefs on health and exercise-- which is what I do on this particular blog-- without sounding preachy? Maybe get more positive.... I'll try it.

Four Things I Like to do--- 100% success rate
1) I always feel a sense of relaxation when I get outside.
2) Relaxation hits as soon as you breath the fresh air. You breath better. You think better.
3) Muscles feel good when I swim at Deep Eddy pool. (Austin, Texas)
4) Enter the water and you've entered a different medium.

Things I've tried to improve-- 50% success rate
5) I'm trying to develop some muscle in my skinny, underdeveloped calf muscles. My left calf, the not-dominant side, is really bad. Don't know if this is possible. Okay to fail.
6) I've become more comfortable in the water this summer and feel more buoyant!

Post-exercise 

7) I enjoy the sense of accomplishment when I get home after exerting myself.
