Day 3/90

Dreaming of the ADU (Anchor Down Ultra) at Colt State Park … some highlights from that run and also my other workouts today
Struggle:
Visiting my Dad at the geriatric psych ward was hard today. He was not having a good day and threw a tantrum. He was very agitated (as he is a lot nowadays). I wanted to eat these feelings or do something to not feel them.
Win:
I ran before the visit at Colt State Park where the ADU takes place because I had a feeling it was going to be a hard visit today. I didn’t eat my feelings after. I did house chores, took a nap, and then decided to run to and back from my late afternoon yoga class.
(1) No alcohol
I did not drink today. I am very grateful for my recovered state of mind and body. If anyone has any questions about how I got here don’t hesitate to ask privately or in the comments (and I can start sharing the history of sobriety in more detail during my check ins)
(2) Movement
I wish I didn’t work every day of my life because I’d have days like this. 90 minute yin yoga to start the day, 11k at Colt State Park ADU course, run to and from afternoon yoga (another 12k), and the 5pm yoga class itself.
(3) Hydration
I got my LMNT water in today and also drank several more large travel cups full and a big Pellegrino sparkling.
(4) Nutrition
Not terrible today. No candy. I actually found and ordered some protein gummy candy so I can have some candy and feel less guilt. It’s crazy that I use candy to “feel better” or to abate feelings but it really just makes me feel worse … that guilt/shame/remorse circle.
(5) Mindset
I listened to my morning guided meditation and an afternoon nap meditation (after visiting Dad). My mind was not in the greatest place after visiting him. I’m also listening to The Way of Excellence by Brad Stulberg.
(6) Community
I reached out to my therapist and scheduled an appointment for next Friday. I also visited my Dad. And I’m posting here again and responded to some posts and texts related to 90PROOF. Also chatted with people I’ve not before at yoga class.
Overall, I wish every day was like today, even with the difficult Dad visit. It was a good day. I’m so excited to build my fitness consistency again!
Forgot to mention … I weighed myself today for the first time this year. 202.6 … not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I’d like to get to 185 at the end of the 90 days. That or below is a great running weight for me.
