Sigh. I've used the radical change in schedule last week as an excuse not to exercise. I kept telling myself I'd do it, and when I didn't, I'd tell myself that it's because things in life were so wonky. Pure excuse making. The truth is I had more time than usual to devote to working out. I just didn't care.

I got a good workout in yesterday, and my schedule has returned to normal this week, which means I'll probably be back on track today. But it's concerning how quickly I can still just give it all up.

Well, no point in dwelling on it too much. I'm back at it, and that's what matters now. You're right, S&C, it's an essential building block for recovery, but it's not the cure itself.
