I've got to say that your blog was somewhat inspirational. Like you, I've decided that it's time to "slow the roll". I need to put a governor on my engine before I blow it completely. Speed kills. I need to learn to pace myself. I'm waiting to see if I have amazing results in all other facets of my life, or if feeling pretty good today is just an anomaly.
Well, I'm on day two. I talked to Chelsea briefly yesterday as I was going to work out on the bag for a little while. She asked if I'd be up later, and I told her that I wouldn't be, that I was taking the "Diesel Challenge".
It's actually not too bad (so far). Of course, I'm a little bit luckier, in that this week promises to be really busy here at work. I figure that if I can make it through the first few days, the rest will be a breeze, though from reading your blog, it doesn't necessarily sound like it.
I think that most of all I'm going to miss the socialization that goes with coming to the Winetap, or any of my other haunts. What I won't miss is the money that I spend. Ouch.
So, last night went to Red Robin, and got a burger and a diet coke. It really felt weird, not being at Fletcher's or the Winetap (my two usual haunts)on a Saturday night. I will say that I felt pretty damn good when I got up this morning. I don't know if it was the exercise yesterday afternoon, or the fact that I didn't touch a drop last night, or both.
Today I'm at work (voluntarily), since I have a few things that I need to prep for this week, and some testing that I want to do. But still, it's keeping me from getting bored, and at the same time, getting me out of the house.

ReplyDeleteStaying busy is important. You then realize how much time we all waste feeling like shit the next day.
Keep it going. GO THRU THE CYCLE ATLEAST. You learn a lot about yourself.
