Day 1009
Good morning :sunny: Last night was pretty rough emotionally for me. This time of year (around my birthday - Dec 3rd) is hard. I was in alot of self pity last night and it took a good min for me to pull myself out of it.

This morning im feeling better :slight_smile: im ready to tackle this monday! Going to hit the gym first thing. Then head to the grocery store for a few odds n ends. Cleaning is next. And then maybe do a meditation or something.

Hope everyone enjoys their Monday! Keep up the great work everyone!

Itā€™s so weird this is happening to everyone all over the world. Itā€™s been 3 weeks for me, on and off. When I first woke up this morning I couldnā€™t taste anything at all! After brushing my teeth and blowing a bunch of crud out my nose I could, but stillā€¦:grimacing:

@Seb Worst thing you can do is sit around and feel sorry for yourself. I know youā€™ve made great strides in your physique, and you still can without lifting. All that matters is you keep moving. Itā€™s a chance to try something new. I know yoga helps calm my mind in stressful times. Or just get out in the fresh air (Iā€™m lowkey jealous your summerā€™s just starting :sweat_smile:) Do whatever helps to keep your spirits high, friend :heart:

Relatable, and I just know how much worse itā€™ll get before it gets better. Karma for my own behavior :weary:

@Whereswaldo Look at you, racking up the months! Congrats :tada:

I love the reflection on the first year. Looking forward to celebrating your 1 year on Thursday with you :tada: :tada:
@just_laura Man that is awful that the managers / owner is not looking into this. So many people having symptoms is a real cause of concern and not sure if the health department should be involved. I do hope you get clear of the symptoms in your time off :pray:
@lastry Congrats on the double digits! Hope you start to feel better soon. A night in knitting with hot chocolate sounds like a perfect evening.
@seb Oh Iā€™m so sorry to read that you still have not gotten in with the neurologist! Not sure why they are taking such time with this sensitive matter. I totally understand your feelings and frustrations. Do try to look to the positives. I know it isnā€™t always easy but still a lot to live for and enjoy. Keep taking those adventures and capturing the beautiful birds. Go for walks (I try to get lost with my walks with some good music). I love what TF has suggested :heart: Keep your head up my friend and stay connected. I do hope you get some answers :pray:
@acromouse Triple digits :muscle: :tada: That is great work with your GF and dairy free diet. Hope your hormones calm down soon. Picture is beautiful :heart:
@collins Sorry the other jobs didnā€™t pan out but a unsafe environment is best to be avoided. I have heard great things about Amazon and they really do take care of their employees. I have a few friends working for them and they started off as temporary workers but have since decided to stay on as they have loved it so much. Wishing you luck with your training and job!
@thumper1213 YEAH! 2 weeks is amazing work :muscle: It does get easier ā€“ love the plan to not drink today! ODAAT :tada:
@misokatsu Sending good luck vibes to your son. Iā€™m sure this process is super nervewrecking and full of anxiety. :pray: I do think its normal to act out in the preteens and teen era. Wishing you luck with that ā€“ I know I was not an easy teen and apologize to my mother often for my behaviour. Also hoping that you are not treated unfairly at work ā€“ 7 years is a long term with the school (even at part time) and hope they value and respect the commitment. We are here for you ā€“ do not carry your worries alone. :people_hugging:
@lexi_liu Welcome back and congrats on your amazing timers!
@whereswaldo Hells yeah! That is amazing work my friend ā€“ 8 months and climbing :muscle: :tada:
@butterflymoonwoman Oh man Iā€™m sorry to hear abou the emotional evening. Big hugs my friend :people_hugging: Glad that today is a better day for you. :heart: Remember how amazing you are and how far you have come! :muscle:

Checking in on Monday morning
Another week to continue on this healing sober journey! Taking it One Moment at a Tim.

Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

Had a good day here! I slept well again, woke up in a good mood and feeling refreshed. I had a morning hike followed by a run. thereā€™s a trail a shortish hike up that I want to start running on to bring my altitude up to 11,000 ft. Iā€™ve been running at 10,000 ft and my goal is to be able to run a 5k at 13,000 ft at the same pace as at 10,000 ft. This is the first trail Iā€™ve found that is runnable and close byā€¦not too much of a climb and a flat enough srea to run. I did it for the first time today and am feeling good about it.
Am hoping to do this 2 times a week in addition to my usual runs at my normal altitude (10,000 ft).

Anyways I was feeling good about my new running plan and checing out this trail.

Iā€™ve not heard back about my project proposal yet so am just doing some smaller quick jobs in the meantime but I donā€™t find these as interesting. Which makes me feel a bit bored during work. Hoping to hear back soon.

Hello Friends!

On a solid Day 4, today I have a head cold which arrives every year with the cold weather.

I feel more peaceful- maybe because of my muddled brain due to the head cold.
Today I am happy going through the motions, thinking about the future makes me very nervous so I will only let myself go as far as planning whatā€™s for dinner and what work I want to get done today.

Feeling better, thanks for asking Phil! Still sick but luckily without all that crazy heart/chest symptoms anymore. I called in sick so tomorrow I will be home alone for few hours. Party time - warm tea, blanket, netflixā€¦ Partying can get out of hand and maybe there gonna be even some nap. You never know, when I party - I party hard :wink:

Evening check-in! :wave:t2:
Day off today, but itā€™s been a day filled with doctors visits and a vet visit! :roll_eyes:
At midday I went for a walk to clear my head, while listening to an audio book. I really enjoyed that!

Now Iā€™m relaxing on the couch, and watching shitty shows on TV!
Tomorrow Iā€™m back to work! 2 more weeks, and then Iā€™ll be off for 2 weeks! :partying_face:
