May 9th was my last drink.
That was four months and one day ago.
September 9th was my last cigarette.
That was yesterday.

I threw out the remainder of my cigarettes before bed last night.
I'm wearing a nicotine patch today.
I'm taking medication the Dr. gave me to help not smoke.

We walked the hounds yesterday for about a mile.
Then we started a running program and ran a 14 minute mile.
It felt good.

Then we stretched.
We did crunches.
We even lifted some weights.

It all felt real good.

Today, I weigh 210 pounds.
I won't smoke.
I won't drink.
I won't have an ice cream sundae with chocolate pound cake.
I will eat according to guidelines that will lower my cholesterol,
and lower my weight.
I will walk the hounds.
I will run one mile.
I will stretch.

I will feel good.

Stand by me

I'm taking a stand today. I will no longer allow myself to be a drinker or a smoker. Right now, from nothing, I am the possibility of Creativity, Vitality, and Celebration. And that doesn't have to include booze.

I completed a review of the Landmark Advanced Course this weekend. I'm so glad I did. Now I remember that suffering is optional, and I remember how to stop it. Now, on to living a powerful life and living a life I love! Onward!

I'm so lost. Sitting at my desk procrastinating. Good l*rd. Gotta get moving!

I miss blogging. At least I miss it today.

Shortly after I wrote that last post, I got stuck watching the phones for about 15 minutes. The receptionist has "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, and it's all small stuff" on her desk, and I read the first three chapters. Once I got back to my desk, I googled it in You Tube and found the cutest boy reading one chapter at a time. So - I managed to realize that it's all small stuff. It won't matter in a year. And the day turned out ok.

This morning I prepared a clear cash flow report and gave that without any problem. The big invoice is done and out the door.

For lunch I have therapy w/ Not Dr. Eve, and then I make a run to Costco to pick up supplies for a meeting. No rehearsal tonight, so I will work until 8 or so and try to catch up.

It's not all good. But it's all small stuff.
