Day 28
I haven’t posted in a couple of days. I started experiencing pain on the right side of my stomach a few days ago. Have anyone experienced stomach issues since they stopped drinking? Thankfully I took some antibiotics and feeling much better!
Super close to Day 30! :tada:
Everyone have a blessed sober day.:heart:

Day 206
Possibly TW related to obsessive thinking over food and exercise

Had a rough sleep due to neck pain (slept on the wrong pillow). But im currently working out. Im struggling today a bit with my mind and exercise. My body was feeling tired this morning. But i thot… I need to at least show up and try. Well i get here and its cardio/ab day. I have these numbers in my mind of how many calories i need to burn on each machine (i know the numbers arent very accurate bcuz other info isnt accounted for, like body weight etc but its a goal I set for myself). I did 200 cal on 1 machine, then lower abs, then 200 cal on another machine, then upper abs, and my body was telling me that i was done and exhausted. But i hadnt finished my work out. So here i am walking on the treadmill as I type this so i can see 200 calories on this machine. Then i have to do obliques. This isnt healthy thinking bcuz im not listening to my body. I struggle with understanding if im really done my workout or if its me trying to make excuses for not working out. Like i cant tell what is true and what is me making excuses. Bcuz i love challenging myself in the gym. I love a hard workout. I need to feel satisfied with what i did… otherwise my mind urges me to keep going. I am not wanting to quit working out entirely bcuz of this weird, possibly unhealthy thinking. So i have no choice to figure out how to balance it. And again… this is the same thing that happened 16 years ago when i attempted to quit drugs. I became overly obsessed over the gym. To the point that I was there 2 hours every single day, buying insane amounts of supplements, at times injuring myself bcuz i pushed myself too hard, getting mad and irritable if I couldnt go for some odd reason, crying on the floor bcuz im restricting my variety of food too much. I am not anywhere near this but i certainly dont want to get back there. I want exercise to be enjoyable. And it is!! But it gets frustrating when i dont feel like i did as well as i couldve. But my body is not a machine lol anyway, any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Just to balance this out before it get worse. Thanks TS fam
