LIFE! Jeez!
I lost my job at Charles Schwab (contractor position) due to the project we were working on ending. Luckily, I was a top performer and landed an even higher paying job at another Schwab location. However, my old schedule allowed me to go to the gym late night with no one there. This new position is a M-F daytime shift, so I get off at 4, gym = crowded. With my social anxiety I avoided going because I didn't think I could handle the stress and anxiety of showing up with everyone else.
I made a huge change in my life recently and quit smoking (green). It has been about a month now and my life has dramatically improved. Clearer thoughts, no wheezing/asthmatic symptoms, higher energy levels, more balanced emotional response, able to communicate on a higher level, the list goes on. Incidentally and fortunately, this motivated me to get back into the gym, where my girlfriend and I are now going every day after work. I am determined to be the best person I can be, because I know I am capable of it. Plus, the (green) was a huge motivation-killer, even though I swore it wasn't. So funny the things you come to realize when you stop doing something that makes you NOT sober, daily, for over 4 years straight.
Lots of positive things on the horizon, and I can't wait to drop all this weight and reveal the badass that has been inside me all along.
