Trained to failure today and screamed like I was in labour during my last set omfg… I hate being a woman so much 😅wish I was able to grunt it out like the men of the world.
 
First of four debutante ball photoshoots over nine days out of the way. Socialised pretty well with people, some I knew, most were strangers. I’m pretty happy with how I interacted with everyone. I think I was quite affable and managed the small talk really well and set the clients all at ease. I do my job well. Outside of that situation people just aren’t so engaging with me. I’m just providing them a service - nothing more needed from me.
 
I haven't had a drink yet. And hopefully won't.
That’s awesome.
I gave up drinking about 8 weeks ago. I was a binge drinker. But it started to make me feel sick. Not that I actually wanted to give up drinking or anything. I still have the occasional red wine but that’s pretty much all I can handle now, one or 2 glasses.

Good luck and hope you find something else to do you like doing instead.

Just wanted to say good job to both of you for not drinking.

For me, while I've never been an alcoholic, I did used to drink whenever I had the chance. But so far, I've only drank 3 times all of this year. Now that I've gotten into exercising, it helps me to limit my drinking down to times when it really counts, because I always ask myself "is it worth the empty calories? Is it worth undoing some of my exercise?" And unless I'm hanging out with friends and am in a better mood, the answer is almost always "no". So it's easier to avoid it.

I've even managed to not overeat as much as I used to, for the same reasons - I try to stop when I'm full, instead of just eating as much as possible, because I don't want to undo my work. It really helps me think twice.
 
A few months ago I made the decision to stop using any mood altering substances. I’ve even (mostly) given up caffeine. I allow myself to have a coffee each morning on the weekend and soon I plan to give that up too. These days my goal is to be 100% in control of my mood. Doing it on my own with no ‘additional help’.

A long time ago I decided to get high to avoid thinking about my problems. I was hiding from them, everyday. For a long time I knew I was on the wrong course. But didn’t have the courage or state of mind or maybe my life just needed to get a little better first or ‘insert lots of excuses here’. A few months ago I found a way out and I’m very thankful for that.

Today I meditate frequently. Rigidly structure my life to eliminate as many potential setbacks as possible. I focus on quality sleep. Eating enough. And most importantly, constantly assess my mood and change my thinking when depressed thoughts start to creep in.

Today I might actually be smiling because I want to.

 
I got out of bed at 10:30am (after going to bed at 4am due to binge watching Avengers timeline films) with a tightness in my chest, which seeing how I've survived a heart attack in the past, it did make me check the symptom chart, but I went for a 2:15hr bike ride. It's 3:35pm now, and the chest pain is still there (my guess is a muscle strain), but it's time for more Avenger movies.
 
I moved mine and my brother's stuff downstairs where it's cooler, so it doesn't get damaged during the d*** heat dome. I also set up some boxes as walls to keep as much sunlight off it as possible.

Hopefully it works.
