I can't believe I started this new journey 2 months ago! Time flies when you're trying to be healthy. It feels strange, in some ways it feels like I really just started. I can't believe I've managed to post everyday as well, it definitely keeps me focused on my goals.
I'm thrilled that I made it 2 months without smoking. Of all the unhealthy things I was doing, that was absolutely the worst. I don't even think about smoking anymore; something would have to go terribly wrong for me to start again. The drinking and the eating are coming along nicely, I have to keep telling myself (almost daily) that I can't fix it all at once and be perfect from the start. I have good days and bad days, but definitely many more good than bad. What really has me excited is that I've made it through my most depressing months. As spring comes I will begin to feel even better and with some success at my back I will be unstoppable!

Today we got about 8 inches of snow. For the DC area that is a lot! Half of the people at my work left early or didn't even bother to come in. As the maintenance and facilities manager I took the opportunity to get a little exercise and help my team at the same time; I went out and helped shovel sidewalks twice. I'm really feeling it now, my back and legs are sore, but it felt good to help and it always helps to show the guys I'm willing to pitch in when they need it.
Right now I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the fact that I've managed to keep pushing on for 2 straight months. I'd like to start thinking about the next month as spring is coming, but as I've said so many times, I'm just taking it day by day.
Stay Strong!
Are we in sinc or what... Yesterday I shoveled that white shit too, we didn't get any new snow, I had to get on my roof to get it off.
ReplyDeleteBravo for stopping smoking, for the drinking, I seem to have an easier time than you have, haven't touch the stuff for almost 2 weeks. You can do it if you really choose to. Keep those walks up too! So many things need to be healthy isn't it? But you, your wife and your kids will reap the benefits for decades!
I grew up in Maine so I am all too familiar with roof shoveling! Thanks for your comment.
DeleteCongrats on your 2 month mark! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteYeah you all down south (below the 45th parallel) got the brunt of the snow this time. Not fun getting it all at once! At this point, my snowbanks are taller than me so I really can't feel too sorry for you all :)
