Thanks @Tragicfarinelli @Mno @SoberWalker @Alisa
I’m still eating healthy, walking/cycling each day. Still getting the vertigo occasionally which led to the testing that uncovered the aneurysm but otherwise I’m all good. Seriously thank you guys, much love and respect

Morning check in! 
I’ve just finished my medical exams, including a full blood analysis. Now it’s breakfast time!
Look at this lovely coffee they brought me!
I’m currently listening to an audio book on ED, that’s seems to hit home! I’ve read and listened to a few ones, but I can finally identify with this one! 
To be continued!
Edit: the book is called “8 keys to recovery from an eating disorder” by Carolyn Costin & Gwen Schubert Grabb.

@SoberWalker So nice to hear you went with your family to your favourite tree 
Enjoy your easy afternoon and I hope restful sleep will find you soon.
@Mno Thanks for teaching me that this bird is called a jay in english. They are called Eichelhäher in german and we have plenty of them around here. They like to visit our garden.
@Tragicfarinelli May your pain and all that monthly mess leave you soon 
@Seb I sooo feel you my friend. My mental health relies on physical activity. From experience I can really echo @Tragicfarinelli and recommend switching up you workout routine. This is probably not what you want, but for me this was a life safer at a time where I could not do anything strenous for months on. I recommend some LISS exercises like walking, rowing, cycling, and a good consistent yoga practice. Also if you are not already doing that: breathing exercises and meditation. Hold on friend. Sending love 
@Lastry Congrats on double digits!

Hormones are on a rollercoaster ride today and giving me panic. I so hate this, and could really do without 
Apart from that the sun is shining, I am very glad about that. I haven’t seen it for days. I did my rowing exercises. The programm is adding intervals.
My daughter finally went to school after two weeks of illness. I had to take her on the bike, but she is off to spend her time with people and that’s what counts. She’ll spend the afternoon with her grandparents cookie baking for the advent.
I have a class to teach today. Will do a bit of prep for that. If I have enough time, I’ll also spend it on my game.
Small stuff and some gentle yoga in the afternoon. And I feel like I could use a Dharma meeting in the evening.
Today’s picture is the remains of a coral reef that used to be what is now our city about 390 million years ago from yesterday’s geologically inspired hike.
Peace and love for life always

Day 674.
I just about passed my mini-test assignment yesterday. So now I feel thick as I’m trying to get through this other assignment that’s really hard and I don’t get it. It’s almost like reading through a foreign language or something… Well… at least I’m getting educated and shit. Intellectual I iz.

@Rockstar24777 So proud of you! What an amazing step to pay it forward!
@Seb That is really tough. 
But I guess you will have to follow your Dr’s advice and just let go of what you can’t control.

Thanks @acromouse yep I’ll do some yin yoga and TRE this afternoon. Already have an hour’s conscious connected breathwork session at noon. That always helps me drop back into my physical self. Actually so far I’ve already tidied the whole bedroom wardrobes and cupboards up and thrown away rubbish. Winning, and bleeding. I am legend.

Good morning. Day 1,508 of continuous sobriety. The last two jobs (Safeway Meat Clerk and Stardust Building Supplies) didn’t work out. Safeway was just not enough pay and as a second job it was just spreading me to thin. Stardust was good work and I enjoyed it but it was extremely unsafe work conditions. The place was like one big, massive OSHA violation, so I had to quit. I’m starting a new job as a delivery driver for Amazon today. It pays well and, despite what you may have heard, they take care of their employees. I’m looking forward to it. This is an opportunity to get in with one of the biggest companies in the world and I really don’t want to mess it up. I hope everything goes smoothly today. Today and tomorrow are training days. Wish me luck!

Day 318 AF
Great day yesterday. Got two hours in gym on lower body, then a bike for 45 mins on easy to loosen up, then 10 mins of percussion gun on quads, calves etc… feeling absolutely fantastic today with no stiffness at all.
Last night my sauna blanket was delivered so after an upper body superset in gym, 30 mins on treadmill I’ll take the sauna for a spin for 30 mins to test it out. First though is hitting shoulder stretches good as per physio dude as that has been helping a lot. Shoulder and elbow haven’t been sore at all this week, plus throwing the Tams electrical stimulation on at night before sleep.
All in all this months wellness journey has been going fantastic after a full week in.
@Seb , sorry to hear of your issues friend that would totally be a downer. Hopefully you round a corner sooner than later and can get back at er as I know your love of gym and exercise. Just do what you can do and it’ll all be back before ya know it man!!
Hope everyone has a good day and is able to take some time for themselves even if for only a few restful moments.

Life is busy being life. My son is still suffering through the high school entrance process, and I am suffering along with him. I swing from hopeful, to despair, to resigned, and it is mentally tiring. How much more for him!
My daughter is getting more sassy and materialistic by the day. I’m not sure if it is par for the course for a preteen, or something to be concerned about.
Work is also having issues. I have worked for the same place part-time for about 7 years. A full time teacher had told me that in a meeting he heard the schedule will be drastically changed, with part-time teachers getting far fewer classes. As I have worked there for more than 5 years, I should have some rights, but may have to get the union involved.
And basically how nice it would be to have a partner to share these worries with. Not someone that I resent and expect nothing like support or comfort from.
Well, I am grateful for sobriety and for the health of myself and my kids. And that is something. A lot, really.
