Day 48, morning
Today is day 48. I'm creeping up on day 50. Again, on one level, I find this completely unbelievable, and at the same time, I know the work I put it into this. Being at this point didn't happen by accident. It involved planning and thought and some grit. I look back at my beginning to now. It's a big difference. My body in some ways is still recovering, but I feel patient and understanding. I want to give my body what it needs and to care for my body in the way it deserves as the holder of my consciousness.
I want to eat well, drink water, stretch and I would like in this next phase to make exercise a priority. So far I have exercised as I have time with no priority set to it, work or tv often taking precedence. I feel like I'm far enough in my sobriety now that I'd like to change that, and maybe explore exercise in ways I haven't before. I have always looked at exercise as a discipline: studying TKD, running training, sticking to a lift schedule. I like to lift. Could I put more fun into it for myself? What are some ways I haven't exercised before that I would find enjoyable and fun? Ways that are less about discipline and more just about exercising for a healthy, enjoyable life.
I am grateful to have made it this far. I feel proud of where I am and where I'm headed.
Today is day 48. I am committed to making a life change. I do not drink. I am the tree, not the leaves. I am the mountain. Today is day 48 and I am solid.
