No, you didn't imply that you were planning on drinking. I was just practicing some "preventive medicine." |
Hi GC wishing you a good week ahead |

All your exercise is really inspiring. I felt like I needed more tools in my gym bag, so went and bought a fluorescent green poster board and put it on my bedroom wall, and titled it Project Fat A$$. My intent is to log with smiley or frowning faces for every day I did or did not do at least 30 mins of vigorous activity for 15 weeks, and write in weekly measurements. My 8 year old thinks this is hilarious and keeps referring to the project by name (without cracking a smile because she is very, very dry), so I believe I am going to have to take my sharpie marker and replace with bum. So here's to PROJECT FAT BUM. |
Try to have a good week! |

So here's to PROJECT FAT BUM. I've written in my threads about exercise and the way I've benefited from it mentally and physically a lot. It's really impacted my entire life and that of my family in a very positive manner. It's getting late for me, especially after what I wrote nine hours ago about how I hoped it would be an early evening, but if you ever want to exchange discussions about exercising either here or on a PM basis, let me know. For the record, I have no professional training and my performance in any of the disciplines I spend time with (running, cycling, weight lifting), even for my age group, is at best average, but I'm just some guy who challenges himself, does it, and is willing to help others. |

Try to have a good week! The business stuff, while more impactful than normal isn't terrible far from the norm. Next week will be worse. As for the other stuff, specifically Tuesday's trifecta of the funeral, visiting my mother's grave, and St. Patrick's Day, I likely will be away from SR for the day, but will find a way to deal. |
We will still be with you :) |

I'm happy to write that I haven't had any cravings today. I'm also happy to write that despite being up later than I intended I was at the gym for a decent workout in the morning. I also took a 1.5 mile walk this afternoon. What? I took a walk when I've written about how busy I am? Yes. My job entails making decisions under conditions of uncertainty and once the analysis is done or reaches a certain point I've often found it helpful to "step away" and allow all the data to percolate in between my ears. I can only do this while walking or running; lifting or cycling takes too much concentration. Not that running doesn't need concentration, but the pace is so much slower than cycling so I don't have to be constantly watching out for cars, potholes, clueless pedestrians, etc. Lifting is just too disjointed for me to think about anything else. Hence, walking or running are my step away activities and I did the former because I had an errand to take care of at the hardware store. No hat, no gloves, spring weather may finally be showing up. If I explained myself well then one can see that I really wasn't taking time off from work, but employing a technique that has proven to be beneficial, at least to me. Getting back to sobriety, I'm really glad that my AV hasn't shown up and if it does later I'm going to kick its butt. |
GC, I am so sorry I posted a silly post on top of yours about the funeral and your Mom. I missed that post, so you must think I am awfully shallow. Hope tomorrow not too heavy, would love to hear about your Mom sometime soon. |

Hope tomorrow not too heavy, would love to hear about your Mom sometime soon. Tomorrow is going to be a long day. Lots of travel and emotions, but I'm at peace with my mother's passing. Thanks for asking about her; it's late and I have to get up early so I'll end with something that I think exhibits how meaningful she was to me. She died when she was 53. Even before her death I embraced my birthdays and as most have experienced when a round number or other b'days of significance come around one is asked how they feel. Turning 50 was nothing but a reason to celebrate, but not long after I figured out the date when I would have lived longer than my mother, which was sometime in the middle of September of 2011, and that was a sad one for me because I still felt so young and being surrounded by my loving family it only reinforced that she and all of us were robbed. I continue to feel that way, but the passage of time eases the pain. I was blessed with two great parents and I live each day trying to live up to their standards. In closing I will also say that nothing tomorrow is going to give me an excuse to drink. Sorry for the long post, BlindsidedBetty, but I can assure your that my sentiments in the first paragraph about your post are absolutely true. Good night SR. |
safe travels, GC. |
Will be thinking about you today, Gonnachange. Go safely. |
