STRONG BODY, STRONG MIND
6:15 AM: (Two days in a row I'm awake at 6:00. How can this be?)
A few days ago, the suggestion was made to write out how I visualize my life 5 years from now. I thought that was a really, really good idea—with one caveat. I think I'll start with just a year. 5 seems, somehow, a bit much.
This weblog is intended to serve as a chronicle of the many ways Life is better without alcohol—a reminder of why I choose to abstain. I forgot those reasons the last time and was blind-sided by the tricky bastard.
So here it is: I want my strength back. I used to be so physically strong I could do 30 successive abdominal crunches on an incline bench holding a 25-pound iron barbell weight (try that with a hangover). I could complete 3 sets of 10 leg lifts (both legs at a 90-degree angle from my hips) while supporting my entire weight suspended in a roman chair, and my upper arms were sculpted to perfection (this was before women began working en masse with free weights). I miss that body.
DAY 13.

Its good to remind ourselves why we abstain, I lost touch with that and drank again after 10 weeks off. I am reminded enough again to start again! :-)
