So, I didn't blog about Day 4 yesterday...I had an early morning appointment for my foot, a sort of follow up to my ankle surgery in November. The good news is that my ankle has healed very nicely...the bad news is that I'm getting tendonitis on the inside of my foot now...so, ibuprofen regiment for the next two weeks and if that doesn't help...I might have to get orthotics.
Now, I'm a fairly patient woman...although some may disagree with that statement. But when driving in traffic...I've always been the "go to" person because of my cool disposition...not lately however. I'm stuck in Portland traffic leaving the office to head home. But yesterday, I said that I was going to work out at the gym on my way home...and I did. The workout was great. I was feeling good...had calmed down from my aggravating ride from the office to the gym.
The gym is less than two miles from my home...it took me almost half an hour to get home! By the time I got home I was so aggravated and I slipped into an old habit. (Rather, a habit I'm hoping to make old.) I got a glass of wine. Doesn't sound bad, right? The bad part comes in that I truly, truly like wine. And I have no self-control when it comes to wine. Once I open a bottle...I will finish it and open another. It's not something I'm entirely proud of...and it's something I've been consciously trying to change...last night...I drank a bottle of wine.
Today, I went for Day 5 at the gym. I didn't fail last night. This isn't about failing...this is about changing myself for the better. So, dear reader...today is a new day. And I'm feeling good about myself.
