As an old-school manager might say, The only way to manage a thing is to measure it.
How much do you think is the right amount of GAL activity? - how many workouts a week? - how many walks in the park? - how many evenings out with friends? - how many times meeting a buddy for coffee per week? - how many movies per month? - how many dinners out? - how many job interviews? - etc.
Seriously - it sounds ridiculous, but for those of us who are starting over, who have been blindsided, it can be just the thing to get a life again. It used to be easy and automatic, and it isn't any more. So... set some goals: 2 movies a month. Or, meet 3 times for coffee, with some friend, every week. Or, 3 days a week I will get up and walk 2 miles. or whatever.
It is not "outcome based". It is effort based. It is not "how happy were you on Friday?" It is "did you go out to a movie?" It is not "how much weight did you lose?" It is "how many times did you move around and exercise?" it is not "did you get a job?", it is "how many interviews did you go on?" Good results will come in time, if you put the right effort in.
You can do it!
ps: bad on you for staying home NYE. "I just felt like it." Bah. I call BS on you for that!
