I was feeling pretty good for about a week or so. Took a big dose of suck it up and started working on what might make me feel better in general. I applied for some volunteer stuff, re learning the Getting Things Done approach to organization/life/work. Hit the road for business this week, rough travel days and the ambiguity and malaise starts setting in. I can see it happening which is helpful to observe how it works. I don't have enough to do, I sit around and surf the web looking for inspiration and it feel shitty. It's just not enough movement or momentum.
Also I've been writing down what I've been eating this trip. It's not good. Also lots of drinking, which makes for more social fun but conflicts with other objectives. I've had plenty of sitting around time today, but going to the gym seems highly unlikely. So when I wrote previously it shouldn't be so hard to eat about 1500 calories a day and get 1 hr of exercise it apparently is.
A few approaches for change-for the next few days focus on getting enough sleep-therefore I should be able to wake up a bit early and exercising first thing (could start on Saturday with exercise). Keep writing down what I am eating and eliminate some food choices (a chicken quesadilla should be off limits when reading a menu).
The GTD method as a project for me will help capture all kinds of objectives-taking classes-write it down, prioritize, etc. Healthy living, socializing etc etc etc.
I think I need to take some old school basic steps of scheduling my time, looking at steps towards long range goals as daily activities, creating momentum, keeping these depressive tendencies at bay.
