July Fitness Challenge - everyone welcome!

Thought for your rest day

One of the best things about (sobriety) is the peace of mind and serenity that it can bring us. In our drinking days, we had no peace of mind or serenity. We had the exact opposite, a kind of turmoil and that “quiet desperation” we knew so well. The turmoil of our drinking days was caused partly by our physical suffering, the terrible hangovers, the cold sweats, the shakes and the jitters. But it was caused even more by our mental suffering, the loneliness, the feeling of inferiority, the lying, and the remorse that every alcoholic understands.

Oh man, I forgot about that hell. I’m gonna try to do it in the morning so I don’t have that hanging over me all day.

Still a bit sore from my workout on Wednesday. I’ll see for today. I’ll do day 15 for sure. I am tiptoeing around these burpees. :yawning_face: But work first.

Sadly I stopped when my check ins stopped. Life has happened this week and I have spent the week finding a place to live and moving boxes of stuff and down stairs and from place to place. I’ve been active but not as part of the challenge :frowning:

Hopefully next week I will be in a better place as I really enjoyed the challenge

Moving boxes and all that makes up for at least 10 push ups. Get settled in your new place all nicely. :orange_heart:
