Thread: Does Working out make you zone out?

I would have thought so also, but the only thing I have to go by is the calorie counter on my treadmill that steadily counts along. I really have no clue how accurate it is.

Your treadmill must suck/have a severe flaw. The elliptical I have at home can burn 300 calories in 12 minutes.

I think it is relative to how fast you are walking or running. The more you do the faster the counter counts or at least that is what I always thought. But no matter where I put that incline or even if I walk briskly at 3.0 mph the counter don't seem to go any faster.

I can run for a few minutes, NOT many, at 4.0 mph but I guess unless I am going to go 10 mph for a whole 30 minutes that calorie counter is only going to count slowly.

I dunno. It's a Gold's Gym so it is a brand name and the only one I could afford.

Well, Magical Mike, I am back on this 'zoned out' thing. I feel very clear headed and calm and my OCD tendancies have also calmed down. I feel clear headed like I said, but it is as if my imagination is gone.

I used to be able my whole life to have vivid, or at least good, fantasies or ideas or daydreams and now I am less able to get these pictures in my head as naturally as before.

I am loosing some weight and not eating as much and trying to eat better and not eat sweets, could this be getting me into this gawd awful NORMAL state?

I don't like being normal.

I did have a lucid dream a few days ago, but one other thing has happened to me that I do not like at all. I don't have sexual fantasies any more. I've always been, ever since I was 5, a person who could have an orgasm at will and now I can't even get an interest.

I am writing a vampire story and I normally would be having all sorts of nice feelings about it but noooooo.

Is this what normal people go through every day? How can you all stand it? I mean yeah, I am almost done with a painting to sell and another and am clearer headed and have less problems with my OCD and phobias and such, except for the fear I had several nightmares last night, but I am just all dried up when it comes to sexual fantasy, imagination of any kind, being able to formulate any creative ideas, or having pictures in my head.

I have hollucinated about some strange mandalas the last few days and that was cool, but when you dream a very vivid dream of sitting on a good looking vampire's lap and there is no arousal there at all and the guy ends up playing your dad in the dream. I mean that really sucks.

No pun intended.

How can I use this calmer state to help me do these things:

Dream recall better
Lucid dream
Dream sex
Painting ideas for fantasy art

If it is the fat loss, I'll go back to being fat and eating the junkiest diet ever.

And I thought I'd edit this and say that I started drinking something called 'RockStar' energy drink at the same time this 'zone out' session, this particular one, started. I've also been working on the treadmill, though only for 20 to 30 minutes instead of longer like before. I am getting old and I'd really like to be thin once before I die, you know?

The RockStar drink has ginkobiloba and ginsing and bvitamins and something called Taurine that might be what is stabilizing my irratic OCDish brain. I read online that Taurine is prescribed to people with epilepsy to quiet the neurons. I have stopped drinking this drink as of today to see if that helps.

sorry i have been gone so long.
if you like to zone out, i could hypnotize you, attach an anchor in your mind, to whenever you have excess amounts of exercise you experience this zoned out felling.
if you would like, over the phone.
you can PM me about it if you want
