Susan, I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. What a hard time for you and your family.
I agree with the other advice that self-care during grief is hard. Sometimes it's eating your feelings, sometimes it's exercise, sometimes sleep.
Rather than setting firm goals, I'd make a mini-goal to take it a day at a time. See how you feel when you get up. Can you commit to a healthy breakfast, or a workout? Fine, then do it. If you get up and think, nah, not today, go with that. If you feel more energized that afternoon, tackle a workout then. If not, fine.
Gradually you will incorporate your mourning into your life. It sounds like the habits you had before your mom's death were good ones, and when your body and mind are ready to resume them, you will.
Hugs to you.
