I did not think about it in the moment, but I have been thinking about it for a long time. Winter is always tough with the weather and business of ski season but I will find joy in it. It was made more difficult this year due to my fracture and surgery then getting sick for the entire February break which I would have spent drinking and maybe running. Whatever has been is over. It is time to cut the excuses and get my butt in gear walking into the light.
This round is already off to a better start than last time and the time before that. Going alcohol free was much easier. It is like I just walked into it. Having a busy day schedule definitely helps.
1. Working has helped keep me busy and structured-I have to schedule my 75 hard requirements into my schedule. Hopefully as I get things straightened out I will get up early and get run 1 done. I love running in the morning but the dogs are a barrier, I do not want to run with them in the morning. Afternoon walks are fine. Keep to a strict schedule, idle hands are a devil's workshop.
2. 14-15 hours of fasting helps tremendously-I think the week of fasting I did before starting 75 hard set me up for success. Yes, I was still drinking but it made me aware of the time. When I drink, the night just floats away. I like having the evening to clean up, wander sometimes, and get everything organized.
3. Just do something-that was the first step. Everyday I get my workouts, and stay sober are a win. There is much to do by June 13 but inch by inch it will all come together. I truly am my mother's daughter. Although some of mom's Pollyanna attitude comes from poor boundaries in her life, it is a good perspective and Jesus would agree.
Last time I did 75 Hard I ate like crap. The #1 goal was to stay sober. We had Easter with a big ham, I then ate a ham casserole for the first few days of my 75 hard. It was all ok because I was getting the other things done.
Today....it is a long day of teaching. Get 10k steps at work then come home and do hip mobility and walk the dogs. Then for dinner
