Still Tugging on the Bootstraps
Well, I have to try to take pride in the small accomplishments I do have. It has been four days now since I started my latest "Pick Myself Up By the Bootstraps" campaign and thus far I have been able to stick with it and add a bit. Here is a brief list of my efforts:
Saturday - In an effort to purge my mind and spirit, I ate a plain toasted bagel for breakfast and a single pear for lunch. For dinner I halved my portion size from my typical for the foods I ate.
Sunday - Repeat of Saturday
Monday - Normal but smaller work breakfast, half sized portions of lunch and dinner.
Tuesday - Repeat of Monday, but added in a five mile walk.
Perhaps eating only half of my normal allotment of food and somehow forcing myself into vigorous exercise every day will alleviate the blues? It is my hope, but it is based in part on science.
There is evidence that exercise will dissipate stress hormones.
There is also evidence that less food improves lifespan.
So, there it is. Comments and/or suggestions appreciated.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
