So close to losing it!

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 2631

Hi all...Thanks again to EVERYBODY for the support. Serenity, I don't know if you will read this but you are incredibly intuitive...I have been focussing all of my energy on myself, my quit and changing my lifestyle...Now there isn't just me and it's time to refocus and readjust. I've been stressing more than I even realized. Leif - Huge congrats on entering your first race! I admire you...I would never have been ready in 14 days! The whole process of setting goals is so awesome. I loved my training group, I pushed myself harder than I ever did and I was on a big high for the whole day. I never realized how important it was to my quit until I got so close to losing my quit. We'll be cheering you on! It's so good to know that I have somewhere to go when things get rocky. Thanks again to EVERYBODY for being so supportive.

Well...I'm back. It's hard to believe that I was ready to throw in the towel only 4 days ago. (I have discovered that having a whomping battle with a smoker is abit of a challenge as the smoker keeps going outside to smoke which does tend to bring those old triggers back) The GREAT thing about having a whomping big battle the night before your very fist mini-triathalon is that it does get the adrenaline flowing....So.....for 24 hours I believed that I was invinsible....I was a superhero!! I was an athlete!! (Wow...it felt pretty good!!!) Unfortunately, when I went to the gym on Saturday, I discovered that I am really not quite as amazing as I first thought (was pretty sure that I was going to pass out after about 10 mins on the treadmill). This is quite a journey we are on and, I have to admit, that I was struggling for awhile. I suppose once in awhile, it takes a near miss to shake us back into shape. Thanks to everybody for being so supportive...and, for sure, if I ever feel like I am going to lose it....I will run straight to SCC and post.

Windy, Congratulations for overcoming the "negative". Things always have a way of working themselves out. You are doing awesome. Never lose sight of that. One day at a time. The only way to live life right now.
