Day 50, morning

Today is day 50.  It's a good day to start a new habit in my quest to make a life change.  My plan is to regularly exercise (5 days a week) for 30 days. I do exercise now (since I stopped drinking), but I often drop it when something else comes up or I don't particularly feel like it.  My goal is to give it more precedence for 30 days.
In quitting drinking, exercise is really helpful for me.  It makes me less squirrelly.    It gives me a physical outlet for feelings and stresses.  It takes the edge off a body that likes movement but works at a job that is less physicality and more thoughtful and talkative.  I need that physicality in my life.  My body demands it.
So today is a lift day.  I'm not talking power lifter here.  This is a start where you are kind of thing.  The less I think about the way my body used to work, the better off I'll be.  This is now. I have five exercises picked out and today I'll just get used to the motions with little or no weight. It will take probably 20 minutes at most.  This is where I start on my 50th day.
A good thing to keep in the back of my mind today is the image and feeling of a Chinese finger puzzle.  When one stops struggling, what happens?
Today is day 50.  I am committed to making a life change.  I am the tree, not the leaves.  I am the mountain.  Today is day 50 and I am solid.
