WAW still angry, moved out, D on the way?

Thanks 1gr8dad for checking on me.

I am really trying to get the exercise back on track. We jogged everyday for the past couple of years and I was hitting the weights before this mess. My goal is to get the jogging back on track this weekend. You are right that could help with the the sleep.

I read somewhere if you used to jog with your ex, to avoid that activity for now, try something else. Buy a mountain bike, start swimming, join a league (this is great GAL as well).

I feel caught in the loop here. Need energy to work out, but no sleep. I need to work out and help get the body to a point that it is tired so I can sleep. Ha ha. I never would have guessed that being in this situation could cause so many issues with the mental and physical well being.

Oh I totally can relate to this. For what it's worth, here's what worked for me WRT exercise. If I didn't sleep well, I refrained from higher intensity exercise. Without sleep you will just end up wearing yourself down.

Instead, on days of poor sleep, I went to the gym but just used the hot tub, steam room and shower. (aka Executive Workout ) Alternatively a walk in the park or spending time with nature will help on those days. Spring is now here - good timing mother nature!

Anyhow slowly but surly, once my sleep routine started to normalize, I could introduce higher levels of intensity in exercise. This just propelled into better sleeping.

Also might I add that the more GAL, the more genuine friends you share with, and the more sense of purpose you can establish in your life, the better you will sleep.

Easier said than done, but if we just take one day at a time, than one day you will notice, hey - I didn't really pine over my WAS today. I didn't think of them. I'm just fine on my own and I'm in control of me and my future. I promise one day soon you will turn that corner all of a sudden.
