Any other suggestions?
Regular and adequate sleep, and lots of water. Sleep is a missing ingredient for me. Exercise too, and that may be related.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oh, lots of water is a given - I'm a big fan of hydration. But sleep is a good point - now that my bodyclock seems to be back on Bangkok time I'm going to aim to get my ass to bed between 9pm and 10pm, so that I can get up between 5 and 6am.
Really, what I found on the last occasion when I did actually knuckle down and make successful lifestyle changes was that for me, routine is very important. I need to get back into the pattern of not sitting down when I get home - but instead getting changed and going straight to the gym. And I need to make it easy for me to eat healthy and filling food at sensible times, rather than end up eating crap because it's the most convenient thing to do.
I feel tentatively optimistic about this. I don't think I'm in quite the right headspace - I'm not Super Motivation Girl - but I am pretty sick of feeling tired and achey and cumbersome. I'd really like to feel energized and flexible and, you know, not old and creaky.

Oh, Trudy, that's totally karma.
Ok. I promise I'll quit being picture girl sometime, but this one was too good to not share...tonight's sunset: [link]

Don't you dare stop the pictures! The only way you are allowed to have big vacation fun is if you share with the working masses.

I think that's my favorite picture so far.

I'm with Laura, don't stop the pictures. I'm enjoying them.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
My mother believes that mothers and daughters should talk daily. I think more like....whenever something newsworthy happens. We have reached a compromise: she pays for my cell phone service, and i answer or call back whenever she calls. We seem to average once a week, but the last week has been insane with moving plans. Something like 19 calls on Saturday alone (largely because i was driving and kept hanging up on her whenever it started snowing, or raining, or traffic picked up.)
