Day 57 and Day 58
Today is day 58. The heat is starting to get to me. Here we rarely have heat waves, so few homes have AC. Most heat can be handled by a fan or sleeping outside or in the basement a couple nights. Not now. Laid low yesterday was not feeling well from lack of sleep and the heat, even the basement has heated up. Today is my Monday so that means work and work means AC. Maybe the AC will help some. Just been feeling nauseous and tired even with drinking lots of water.
I'm coming up on day 60, two months and my 46th birthday is right around the same time. Feeling reflective as these days approach. If I didn't base it on days, but the date I quit, my two month would fall right on my birthday. Might celebrate both.
In a former journal I mentioned the skin conditions I had because my drinking had compromised my immune system. 95% of these issues have cleared up. The last skin problems left are on my scalp. They had started to go away and then they came back again. This has happened twice in the last two months. Now again I think it may almost be gone. I realize it's only been two months, and skin conditions can be insidious, especially on the scalp and fortunately nothing is visible...at the same time, I'd really love a haircut. It's the next thing I'm really looking forward to.
Today is a lift day. I'm going to see how I feel. This may end up as a rest day. When I first started exercising after I quit drinking, I chose exercises for the major muscle groups, kind of all body exercises. The ones I'm doing now with my exercise goal have a lot to do with balance. Even with only three lift days under my belt, on the third lift day, I could already see the difference in my balance from day one. The body is pretty amazing.
This is day 58. I am committed to making a life change. I am the tree, not the leaves. I am the mountain. It is day 58 and I am solid.
