Over the last week I worked to get my eating, my exercise, and my thinking back on track. The three go hand-in-hand for me. I am convinced more and more that my depression can be kept in check with good nutrition and strenuous exercise (emphasis on strenuous). So last week I focused on improving my diet without putting too much pressure on myself or beating myself up for the near total derailment I experienced during the month of May. I took a fresh attitude with my workouts too. I decided to focus on the intensity, even if that meant backing off the prescribed workout. That really paid off. By Saturday, I was starting to feel well again. Sunday was even better.
My weekend was long, slow, quiet, and a little bit lonely. But full of good stuff. Stuff like three CrossFit workouts; three walks at Lullwater with Melvin; one trip to the bookstore; two naps; a phone call with Mama; yard work; the same cute guy encountered three different times at Lullwater; one novel finished and another started.
That's a good list. I like that my weekend was full of good stuff rather than stuffing myself full.

PatC- Your meals always look so good. Some of us may hire you out if you want a new career:-) Great to see you at the gym this weekend.
Thanks, Shannon! It was good to see you at the gym too...sort of like old times.
