I feel like I could have written this post myself. Patterns like this are also something I've notice in my life but have yet to get a handle on them. There is like a catch 22 with exercise. You skip exercise so that makes you feel tired or lazy. That laziness makes it even harder to get back into the exercise phase. Rinse. Repeat until you pretty much give up. The most productive times in my life were when I was lifting 4-5 days a week and able to run 2-5 miles every other day or so. There is something about exercise (serotonin release?) that offset much of the natural imbalances I have. The problems seem to start when I let outside influences get in the way. Working late one night, wifey telling me we nee to get something done around the house, family commitments, etc. All of these lead to a downward spiral. I don't know why I'm typing a wall of text. I guess I just want you to know that this is something very interesting to me and I can't wait to see what you come up with.
