Reinventing Myself Even Though I’m Tired to the Bones
Today there is an unusual sparkle in the sky. I believe that it is called The Sun. Although I’m still tired, I will push myself out the door to greet it. I will walk around Spring Lake before lunch. Onwards now with no excuses.
(later) A new routine: morning shower followed by an apple followed by a walk. One advantage of this is that it leaves me with more points later on than if I have my usual leisurely breakfast. Other advantages include the whole panoply of the benefits of exercise. I really have no excuse not to get out there and move the creaking bones on a day like this. Or actually on any day that’s not blizzard conditions. Unless (insert all valid and not so valid excuses here).
The point is that the approx. 40 minute walk was a pleasant one, that I felt somewhat more energized than if I’d let myself slide into lethargy, and that I’m back on track with what seems to be a workable new routine.

Its a good point this, if you push yourself and do some exercise it does liven you up. If you just laze about you will get more lethargic.
The one thing with exercise is that you will also sleep better when you do go to bed.
When I really had my life sorted, I used to ride my bike to work. It was no big deal -- 10 minutes or so. Might work up the beginnings of a sweat on a hot day. The big benefit was how it would even things out. I used to say it was equal to a cup of coffee in the morning and a beer in the evening.
Arlene, you could save that shower until after your walk. That way you just have to roll out of bed and go.
We'll see how it goes WRB and Lord C. More energy in the day would be good.
Though today . . . Well, that will be in my next post.
