So far, so good. I’m doing what I set out to do this year.
Healthwise, I’ve exercised almost every day, which was a habit already, but nice to continue into the new year. I’ve also been very successful at creating a new bedtime routine – tea instead of a cocktail. May seem like an easy thing for most folks, but something I’ve struggled with, and so far have been successful in creating a new habit.
What makes it challenging is the sobriety… it’s easy to fall asleep while ‘buzzed’… calms the mind. When buzzed, I don’t have to think about life, future, etc.. I don’t have to be in my own head, with myself. My New Year’s Resolution requires me to be sober and conscious when I fall asleep. Much more of a challenge than merely ‘not having the final-final’.
So far so good. Tea has done me well. I am tired, exhausted really. Even with Ambien, I’m not sleeping thru the night. But its time.. time to get on the meditation track, figure my ‘stuff’ out, and “get ‘er done”.
On my Beach Body NYR, I joined Weight Watchers with a friend, looking to lose the 10 lbs and get my Beach Body back. Traveling has made it challenging… but really, IMO, its just an excuse. I’m great with eating right, I just drink to much and dont exercise when on the road. I’ll figure this out in time…
Not Buying It.. not a problem. I’m not a big spender in general.
