I managed to get myself out of bed at 4:45 yesterday morning, and by 5:55, after feeding the cats/drinking coffee (and 12 oz green tea with my amino acid supplements)/replying to email/Buddhist prayers/donning exercise clothes, I was out on the road. It was sunny, I had enough sleep and I was ...

Stalled so soon?

Here it was, Day Three, and I woke up dead tired. I mean, so painfully sleepy I was very close to crying. I got only 5-1/2 hours last night, and I need between 8 and 9. So all I could do was manage to stay awake. I'm off to bed now, though, and I feel sleepy.

Hey TGWG, my bday is 1 day after yours, pretty cool huh? I like what you wrote on Ashlyn's video, I feel the same way about food, in fact I was just talking w/ my buddy about the analogy between giving a drunk a drink and going too crazy on our free-day with junk-food; leads to major setbacks.

Hey welcome to the site! I can relate to your self destructive habits. I abused myself with alcohol, drugs, and overeating/purging for a long time, but I'm finally free of it all. Have you started your challenge or joined a group yet?

I Am

I am a mother of two sons, one of whom was diagnosed ten years ago with a severe mental illness. For a long time, I caved to despair over his situation (as well as some other personal setbacks) by "self-medicating," but have been free of alcohol and cigarettes for over two years now.

Now it's time to take the next step by getting back into shape.

Being fit isn't new to me; despite my self-destructive habits, I used to run competitively back in my early 30s.

So while I've experienced hills and valleys, getting fit at this point in my life feels like I'm about to scale a mountain. It's not just about me anymore; it's about my son. It's for him that I've dug myself out, and, in order to become 100% available for him, find myself determined to reach my "highest point" yet.
