Improvising

One of the things I'm terrible at is improvising. I'm not saying I don't do it---I improvise all the time in cooking, and sometimes it ends up being a disaster. Especially when I'm cooking, I substitute, replace, adjust amounts--you name it, I change it. Then I'm either thrilled or disappointed with the outcome, and generally left with a mess.

It works with wellness too---make a plan, then when it rains on your running plans or traffic prevents you from going to spinning class----improvise! Do something else. It might be a blast, and it might not be exactly what you wanted...but it will almost always be worth it. If it wasn't worth it, you'll just improvise differently the next time.

I agree, do something! You can not sleep, and eat your way into great shape. Good job Lisa

That's just what we did today! We were going to walk outside at lunch, but it rained so we went and walked at the gym. No fresh air, but at least we moved a little.
