  1. Fourth day in my Winter Arc process. 8.15am spin class was BRUTAL. I think the instructor had nails and lemons for breakfast, what a crazy sod! He wears weighted vests even to instruct!! I secretly love him, he’s my personal David Goggins :shushing_face::heart:. Got my steps in despite Storm Amy’s gentle tickles. To be fair it pissed it down all night so the world woke up soggy and shivering. Today, I’m making my ā€œfamousā€ Iberian inspired Orange, pepper, chicken and chickpea stew and watching :soccer_ball:. I’m listening to The Subtle Art of not giving a Fuck and it’s resonating so hard with me. I keep wanting to highlight the sentences in my head : that’s the absolute downside to audiobooks; their relative incompatibility with neon highlighters and stickers. ODAAT. Do the best for YOU today, because no-one else cares if you waste the opportunity.

The pictures were taken on my walk thru the park to the gym this morning.

:people_hugging::two_hearts:. I am so sorry your work has turned out to be so chaotic. Wow…that all sounds overwhelming and frustrating. I would definitely put out feelers for a new job. You don’t owe these guys anything and your own mental/ physical health is way more important.
You have a lot that you are juggling my friend. Grateful you were able to figure out what was going on with that manipulative relationship. Shit like that turns my stomach.
Glad you did write here. Sending hugs and love your way. We are here for you Renee. I do hope things get easier for you soon :hugs:

:winking_face_with_tongue::winking_face_with_tongue:. I can relate to this. I’m in peri menopause and about to go postal. Sorry for all the crap…yeah things are crazy and I’m glad you are doing what you can to not let it make you crazy :people_hugging:
@Just_Laura a lot of good fortune…I hope it continues to come your way :folded_hands:t4::hugs:

Absolutely! Well done on the 600 days so far! You are doing great work my friend…keep going strong :flexed_biceps:t4:

Checking in on Saturday morning…

Waiting for coffee. Heading to the pool then work.

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

Good day today
Personal paid day off from work for wifeys bday tomorrow
I’m taking today off to celebrate and her best friend is taking tomorrow off to celebrate the actual day with her while I work

It worked out good

Actually it’s a pretty funny story
Here I am working my job 2 months into just starting
My wife who likes no1 and puts up a attitude with anyone trying to get to know her is there shopping. A female co worker who just started at the time walks up to my wife, take her phone and puts in her number and said my wife and her are besties now. They’ve been best friends ever sence
If it was anyone else or any different time it could have turned out bad lolololol

The female co workers husband also workers where I work so me, my wife, the female co worker and her husband are all besties

Anyways today is my paid day with my wife
Tomorrow on my wife’s birthday is her best friends day.

I woke up feeling kinda low. Maybe too much coffee yesterday. Anyway I cleaned the bunny cage after a week and fed her and then I felt good. :slight_smile:
Happy bunny happy life

Day 1329
Morning check in :sun:
Got to work on time! I almost fell back asleep tho this morning, bcuz I was feeling so groggy. But Im here now and am ready to tackle the shift. I dont have much planned for today other than work and laundry. Going to continue doing some research on healthier eating to see what changes i can make. I did well this morning and didnt stop at Tim Hortons for anything, so thats a plus. I also did my prayer on the train. Feeling tired but good! Have a great Saturday everyone!

Didn’t make it to the gym yesterday like I said but I am here now! This morning was rough getting all 3 kids here. My 3 year old had a melt down over me putting her hair in a pony tail. I felt my anxiety building. She also has refused wearing clothes since June. I tell myself she is overly sensitive: her twos were so bad I had to take her to the pediatrician but he says nothing is wrong with her. I had to step away this morning and come back and give her love instead of anger. It was like putting a rapid raccooon into clothes and strapping it into a car seat. She screamed so much I was afraid what the neighbors would think. My 7 year old also complained about going . I kind of lost my shit but I was mindful about it and I honestly don’t know how I gentle parent and also get them to do what I want like put their shoes on. Anyway, I am venting but I’m having a difficult time, clearly.

@JazzyS glad to hear your mom is doing better, I hope you enjoy your swim. Thank you for always being the glue that keeps us together.

@Christophe I hope you stayed strong friend, I promise it gets so much better.

@everyone, it’s nice reading your check ins stay strong friends. :revolving_hearts:

Good afternoon everybody. Checking in on day 35 :slightly_smiling_face:.
Ive been to work and its a lot dryer and much less windy today.
Making a couple of curries at the minute and my wife is making herself a raspberry mojito (think thats how its spelled). I have no intention of joining her, my drink will be a soft one or maybe a tea or coffee. Who thought Saturday nights could be so exciting?
:grinning_face:. Im really not bothered about drinking any alcohol and havnt been bothered for sometime now.
Looking forward to a relaxing chilled out weekend. I get that Friday feeling on a Saturday around 2pm as Im off Sundays.
Hope you all have a good weekend thrive in being sober.

Checking in a little late on day 44. Once again I meant to when I got on awhile ago but the ADD monster had other ideas :rofl: Nothing planned today other than rebalance after my routine got all messed with yesterday (it’s gonna happen, I know… just learning to not let it spiral) About to get some solid yoga in. I think that’s why I am so scatter brained still. Light and Love all :star: :black_heart:
