It's been a long time since I've blogged... too long. A lot has happened in a year, almost all good. No complaints. And I'm still sober, which is a really good thing.
However, I've definitely replaced the alcohol with some less positive habits like more sugar, less exercise, less prayer, etc... so I am choosing to reboot myself and refocus on taking better care of ME. As a side benefit, that will help me take better care of my family.
We are starting The Whole 30 tomorrow.
We are beginning the program (as a family). We need too. Our eating habits are not good right now. We could all use a reboot in that area. Liam may not be follow it completely, but I will be making as many changes as I realistically can with him as a 6 year old.
When I started reading about the program, one particular tough-love section stood out to me with flashing lights all around it...
“It is not hard.
Don’t you dare tell us this is hard.
Quitting heroin is hard.
Beating cancer is hard.
Drinking your coffee black. Is. Not. Hard.”
Getting sober over 2 years ago was hard. But I did it. I can do this too.
The program rules are the following:
The other big one not listed is that you DO NOT STEP ON THE SCALE. AT ALL. FOR 30 DAYS.
I am committing to blogging each day about it, and also holding myself to a few other challenges during the next 30 days which include
- Taking 30 minutes a day for myself (for meditation, my daily devotional, prayer and reading)
- Fitting in 30 minutes of exercise a day
- Keeping a simple gratitude list
- Getting 30 things a week out of my house
