I kind of slacked yesterday on the writing, but I made it to yoga and even had a brisk walk later in the day. Today I managed to get in some work on my thesis and on my book revisions, wrote a few letters that needed to be written, spent 20 minutes on the elliptical machine AND did 30 crunches, and stuck to my healthy eating plan.
I think the exercise and smart eating are really important. When I do that, I feel better. When I feel better, I'm more energetic. When I'm more energetic, I have an easier time writing. And when I write, I feel best of all! I'm also giving myself a break by having very low expectations. As long as I do something in each category (a page here, 30 minutes on revision there, a little turn around the campus before lunch, a couple of yoga asanas) I'm satisfied.
Anyway, I'll definitely try to branch out a bit in blog topics, but in the "as long as I do something" lifestyle, I can't promise it'll be much more interesting!

I second the eating and exercise committment. It really makes all the difference. I'm struggling with where to attack my own writing after such an intense month & residency. Sounds like you're on your way, though! I miss you all & had to come back to see what you're up to. I may blog soon. Maybe.
Ditto on the eating and exercise...I've been MUCH better this week about both. In fact, I've been lazy today, so I'm now inspired to work out. :)
Congrats on your progress.
Go you! Are you feeling better? I assume at least a bit if you could get in all that exercise!
