Neglecting myself

Despite my best efforts, I am neglecting to exercise and I'm putting on some weight. There are often days when I feel unmotivated and sluggish. I know this is a recipe for depression and poor health, but it's really hard to snap out of it!

I know there are several things I need to do to stay healthy and happy. I'm doing anywhere from excellent to really bad on any of these things:

• Regular exercise (especially cardio) [POOR: I'VE BEEN SO UNMOTIVATED LATELY]
• Eat healthy [FAIR: I ALWAYS EAT HEALTHY, ALTHOUGH MAYBE A BIT TOO MUCH]
• Get plenty of sleep [EXCELLENT: I GET ABOUT 8HRS PER NIGHT]
• Avoid stimulants (eg: caffeine) [GOOD: I DRINK COFFEE AND TEA MODERATELY, BUT NOT TOO MUCH]
• Avoid other stressful situations [GOOD: SO FAR! KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT NOTHING UNEXPECTED HAPPENS]
• Take regular personal time to relax and recharge [FAIR: I TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERY FREE MOMENT, BUT THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ENOUGH FREE MOMENTS]

I'm going to try to do better. Certainly I should be able to get more exercise and eat better. I can't let my own health deteriorate -- people are counting on me, and I just don't want to be that kind of miserable person. I want to be strong and positive through all of this, and that means I have to take better care of myself.
