Sometimes I feel so focused on my life and where I want to take it, that I could blow up with excitement! Then I just lose track of that, and feel like I got hit by a Mac Truck!
Today, I'm focused. I've been focused for a while. My life has been extremely busy being a single mom, working full time and trying to make ends meet. So, I haven't had much time for blogging. I truly apologize to my blogging friends for this.
Things have been great! I'm really focused on my health. I could finally say that I don't focus my attention on booze as much as I use to in the past, but it's still there in the back of my head....always wondering if I can have a drink or two socially....sometimes thinking, it would be nice to get drunk today and forget about all the bullshit. But, it's not very often. I find myself so focused on my health and body that I would say I honestly don't want to drink. I don't want to put that shit in my body anymore. I want to feel healthy when I go to bed and wake up the same way.
I finally achieved my goal weight, losing 22 pounds since July 16th, when I started this journey! I know it has a lot to do with me not drinking. Booze kept me bloated and yucky and I don't want it anymore.
So, I try to stay focused on that. It's tough. We are surrounded by alcohol. I'm actually sitting here at a hotel, for a hockey tournament for my son, and we all know what comes with that! Parents in one room drinking, kids in the other. Well, I stayed with my kids last night. We watched a movie and had a good night sleep. I have mixed feelings about this. Do people think I'm a snob? Probably! Do I care what they think? Of course I do. I'm a cool, fun chick and want them to know that. But, they'll have to find out some other way, than with booze. And if they don't, I have lots of friends. This is one hockey season...they'll be gone next year.
I hope all is well in the blogging world.
Staying focused! If you want to be healthy, get rid of the booze! It's a tough tough decision, but you will reap the benefits sooner than you think!
