I ask this because I got a treadmill to help me loose some belly fat and I enjoyed working out on it, but it made me feel very blank like an emotionless robot just doing the very basics of daily life.

Recall was nill and inspiration for art or for staying alive was nil and I am trying to still be able to work on it but maintain my normal daily brain activity only in a more positive way.

Does anyone else notice that working out does this to them?

I have to loose weight and the treadmill is the only thing that I can actually get feedback from on how much I am losing and such. Maybe not stay on it so long? I try to go for 300 calories which is almost 2 hours.

At first I was excited about the machine and the clear-headed ness that I felt. But, it is an extreeeeeem form of lack of interest. Is this what Buddhists feel when they meditate? I've meditated before but not felt quite so empty of everything.
