Hi Folks, :wave
Well, considering how difficult yesterday was, and it was difficult. But today will be better and has already started out to be.
Like the weather here in New England well, you know what we say "Don't like the weather? Wait a minute it'll change" and that's not a far stretch from the truth.
Back to yesterday, which was my 8th day without a cigarette and I was also up eight pounds which I wrote 6200 posts about and received 450,000 wonderful responses public and private and thank you all for your constant support. Anyway I digress...as usual
But there I was gnashing my teeth till sparks were flying outta my mouth, frustrated and miserable - The perfectly unplanned pity party. Sean had long since had enough of my Jeckle & Hyde - Hyde side and abandoned ship for the day, taking our dog who had had enough of me too along with him. So there I was, just me and Boccie (our cat) who was being careful to avoid me too.
In a moment of madness, I decided if there was ever a time to do Leslie Sansones Walk Away The Pounds three mile workout it was then.
Those of you who recommended WATP to me know that it took me a week to get through the one mile, my first time with the two mile was brutal, at the end I was ready for ICU but I made it and had been doing it for just about a week - but the three mile?...me? impossible,
Well, in went the DVD by the end of the second mile all that anger, all that frustration, all that misery was gone. Thoughts of a cigarette gone along with them.
Into the third mile I'm dyin' but I'm still in it 100% ~ I don't know what's keeping me moving willpower or thinking about how much I wanted to punch Leslie Sandsone.
I finished the three mile!
It was a triumphant moment, in that one brief sweat covered, hyperventilating moment my life was perfect, the only thing missing - the theme song to Rocky. Amazing what 5 weeks on Atkins has done for me - on every single level.
I suppose the point if there is one, is take whatever you have at any given moment to work this WOL in your favor, inspiration, courage, lack of either, fear, grief, anger - it doesn't matter as long as it keeps you making those right choices.
