The glorious/ignominious pain of basketball.

If I am ever to lose weight it will likely come through my efforts to engage in one of my favorite sports of all-time. And even though it definitely brings with it a somewhat considerable level of pain I somehow feel like it is always 100% worth the effort. The crushed toenails, body aches, occasional joint pains, bloody achilles tendon skin, and occasional pride damage(when performance is very poor) are somehow worth it for the minor successes that come along with it... because, ultimately, the future me will be quite thankful to be what I have become because of it all.
