Checking in Daily to maintain focus #13

Day 17

Ran for 8 minutes this morning, not much for some, but the jump from 3 to 5 mins took ages, and now 5 feels easy. Happy to see (very effing slow) progress. Got my kids’ cousins coming for a sleepover, feeling oddly apprehensive, what if they don’t like the food, what if they are bored. My people-pleasing skills even extend to 11 year olds :disappointed_relieved:.

it’s 7 minutes and 40 seconds longer than me and if I hadn’t needed the loo you wouldn’t have got that out of me, well done.

Holy shit mate, I am fucking proud of you. You really made me think you were going to grab a drink, but you didnt. Fucking proud mate, well done :smiley:

I can honestly say that I have never had a bad word to say about a carrot, in fact the big odd shaped ones often make me smile. I’m a chef and it never gets boring chasing the women around with a suggestive carrot. :joy::joy::joy::open_mouth:

Day 185 morning check-in
Tonight I slept surprisingly well despite yesterdays events. Did discover that I may have been unconsciously surpressing my feelings a bit, because when I prayed last night, I did start crying. But it may not have to do anyhing with surpressing feelings, but with the fact that it was simply a horrific experience that I had yesterday.

This morning I checked into TS and I saw that there were a lot of people that had responded to my posts and showed interest. I also saw that I was promoted to regular, which is great, because that tells me that I get noticed and that I matter and that I no longer have to live in the shadows scared of what people think of me :smiley:

I think today is going to be a good day :slight_smile:

8 minutes is a start, this time last year if someone told me I’ll be running nearly daily I’d have laughed in their face. I’ve logged 63.8km(7 and half hrs) running this week. So keep it up you don’t know what the future holds.

@Dolse71, Paul it’s statements like this that make me love you more and more, you’re always making me chuckle :smiley:
Blessings and sobriety y’all!
:sparkling_heart:

  1. My little street. If it wasn’t for the trees it’d be ugly. Not sure what I want to say with that. Something. Have a good day all. Sober and clean. World keeps turning. Keep going all. Love from Amsterdam.

I actually love that too. It sounds almost poetic, a tea drinking gardener. It would be a good book too. “The tea drinking gardener” :blush:
