A walk after dinner sounds like a good way to do that. I used to walk around my neighborhood every night after dinner, and really enjoyed it. I know I sound like a broken record because I am always recommending walking, but it's one of the favorite and most effective tools in my radiant toolbox, after the food.

But of course, there might not be anywhere good to walk near your house.

: I am committing to within the hour,
: and have made an important discovery,
: (though it's really quite
: self-evident...)

: I have recently posted about having
: fallen off the 'within the hour'
: wagon.
: And I have also written about
: spending many sedentary hours on
: the computer.

: Well this morning I understood that
: they are very much connected.

: Yesterday I was in the kitchen
: cooking and then in the early
: evening, I painted our deck for
: three hours. By bedtime, I was
: very tired - a "healthy"
: tired that signifies energy well
: spent.

: This morning about half an hour after
: I got up, I felt really hungry.
: I haven't felt that in a long time.

: Point is, the "sedentary
: track" makes me feel not
: hungry for breakfast.
: So BF is late, and then lunch and
: dinner are late too.
: And though the content of my meals is
: spot on, I'm in a slump and don't
: feel much like doing anything.

: In contrast, the "active
: track" makes me hungry for BF
: within the hour, and lunch and
: dinner should then be on time as
: well.
: I suspect this will have a positive
: effect on "the slumps".
: Feeling less slumpy should make me
: more inclined for some activity.
: And more activity should help make
: tomorrow's BF within the hour as
: well.

: Seems like 'activity' and 'within the
: hour' are closely linked.

: In view of this discovery, I
: understand I must commit to
: within the hour AND more activity.
: These two components will support
: each other,
: and if I support the both of them,
: they will in turn support me
