Day 51, morning
It is day 51. I met my goal of exercising yesterday. I'm real happy about that. I was glad I chose the little or no weight. The balance on the exercises was difficult because while my large muscles have been slowly getting stronger from walking and hiking, my smaller muscles need vast improvement. It felt good overall, and if I am consistent and eat well, things will improve quickly. I need to remember to still go easy on my body. It is still not 100 percent. This is not a race or competitive. I can move up or down in weight as I choose. This is for my body. Always keep that in my mind...this is for my body. It is for the long haul. Today is an exercise of my choice.
I had to go to the bank yesterday morning. It puts me within a block of the liquor store and there were no issues. I think this was due to the fact that I went shortly after writing my journal here and my mind was on that. I had the Chinese finger puzzle and a gentle wind in my head.
Yesterday an uneventful day with some shopping for clothing essentials and a nice meal at a favorite restaurant. In the past, I would probably have had a beer here. I recognized that and moved on without one. Beer and wine I can pretty much take or leave. They don't have quite the same draw as hard alcohol does for me. The restaurant did have a full bar, but hard alcohol at home has a far greater pull than hard alcohol in public does. Though if I had had a beer there, the likelihood I would stop for a fifth on the way home would be higher. That's something to keep in mind if I'm ever tempted. A pretty nice day overall.
Today is day 51. I am committed to making a life change. I do not drink. I am the tree, not the leaves. I am the mountain. It is day 51 and I am solid.
