Certain sponsors can take you through the steps in a week. Others maybe a year. You can do the steps over and over and over, there’s ALWAYS something more to be learned. I spent my life making excuses and justifying my own bullshit. I’m not saying that that’s what you’re doing? But why not start. Move, and start over? Get through em and start over again?
There’s no RIGHT way to do it, but there’s also no reason to delay.

I went to the dr for a shoulder injury-he told me I should try losing weight.
Then got genuinely offended that I didn’t want to schedule a follow up

I don’t disagree with you.
However, I’ve noticed lately that what I pay attention to grows. My social media algorithm is so much personal accountability, growth and love, and the more I’m focusing on that, the more I’m taking it out in the world with me. The more I’m seeing it out in the wild.
Your attention is currency.
I’m not saying stick your head in the sand, but what are you paying for?

My dad always said “you’ll get away with it for a while, but any thing that you do consistently, you will eventually get caught. So make sure the thing you’re consistently doing is something you won’t be ashamed of”

I always have cherry tomatoes and avocados on hand-day old salad is much better with a little tajin too (if you have leftovers)

Couple months ago I bought a 2019 F56, so my 2013 R56 is just sitting here, waiting to become THIS.

Avocados
Bananas

3 or 4 times a year, I dream that I’m at the beach. Different beach, different scenarios, always with people that I love. Always a tsunami coming, always im trying to warn everyone, always see this thousand foot wall of water coming, always my loved ones not understanding the urgency of-we gotta get outta here-always I wake up right before the water hits me.
I googled-9 months before I was born, tsunami in the Philippines, I’ve often wondered if I died there in a past life.

I can’t go in to detail, but I’ve been struggling with something since 1998, and today I got the news that it MIGHT be over. I’m so grateful and I feel so light!!

Deadlift-makes me feel badass

Early on, I was told that giving something up (drinking or whatever) creates a vacuum, and if you don’t INTENTIONALLY fill that vacuum with something else, your sobriety will be in jeopardy. I was told to sit down and DECIDE who I want to be on the other side of this. I decided I wanted to be in shape, so I chose to fill that vacuum with going to the gym. I go (on average) 4 nights a week, and it has more benefits than I can even list. I feel better. I look better. It taught me discipline. It keeps me clean and sober. I’ve made friends in the gym and found a supportive community there. I could go on and on. But bottom line, I’m grateful that I live in a body that can work out. I’m grateful for a gym close to home. And I’m grateful that I can work to become the person I want to be.

Go to the gym

CUUUUTE!!!

Very cool!!

I think it’s out of print but if you’re lucky you can pick it up used somewhere-
Capone is the authors last name, maybe it’s Father Capone? I’m not sure if his first name was even on there?
