This is the first weekend-in I don't know how long-where I haven't had a drink. And I feel as though I'm bi-polar. My mood switches from angry, to sad, then all the way up to laughing so hard I'm practically crying. That's normal for detox, right...?
Reality:
I really wanted a drink today. I also really wanted a hamburger. Nay, I craved a bacon cheese burger with the biggest fries they could legally give me. I also wanted a cigarette.
Still Reality:
But something has shifted in my brain. Although the cravings were irritating, I didn't have as hard of a time moving past them. Another new thing was my craving for exercise this morning. I kid you not, I went for a run at 8am this morning. I woke up needing to do something.
I should probably prefix this with: Iliana = Night Owl. I do not do mornings. My friends and family know to give me a good 1/2 after waking up before trying to interact with me. So it was very surprising to "get up and go", if you will. I hope that stays around.
Ashley and I did yoga separately today, as life made it difficult for us to meet up. But DUDES. I don't want to brag or anything, but I'm becoming very bendy! I have been amazed at how quickly my muscles have regained its flexibility.
I think I'm going to end this post here, on a good note. Tomorrow is a new day (and is going to be a very fun one, I might add)!
