My plan from Monday-Friday is to get up, eat breakfast, and hie myself to the gym for a workout. It worked wonderfully last week; I felt lively and had so much of the day in which to do things. I&#8217;ve also tried to be mindful about what I eat, and that went well until Thanksgiving. The combination of inactivity and unconscious eating over the weekend, combined with several nights when I made art into the wee hours, has thrown me. Yesterday I was in my sweats much of the day. Zero exercise. Not enough veggies and fruit. Oh, I made art and tutored my student and facilitated a book discussion, but I didn&#8217;t exercise and very much missed it. It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m castigating myself for breaking my routine. It&#8217;s that I feel less than wonderful because I haven&#8217;t moved much; this unwell feeling magnifies and grips more tightly. <\/p>\n<p>This morning is a little better.
