Hi all. 1000 days 665!That is something to be proud of!!!
custard thanks, the boxercise was ... well..... okay. I felt very jiggly.
Did spinning this morning.... go me!
Finished the book Bottled I mentioned up thread. It was really good actually. At first I thought it was written a bit simplistically, but then I got into it. The author is a committed Christian and this was a major part of her recovery but although she mentions this - alot - it does not seem to be too overwhelming to me. It felt a bit odd though to my English sensibilities to talk about religion though so much, but it is not pious at all. The author is funny, sharp, self-deprecating, insightful. Certainly does not take herself too seriously. I laughed alot, and although I did not really engage until a third of the way through, the book then really 'spoke' to me and my experiences. What got me was how she talks about how alcohol turns you into a Zombie mum.... sitting in a zombified state while Thomas the Tank engine is on all day and the kids run around and you are completely detached. That hit very very very close to home. I re-read that bit a few times.
Generally though all is okay at the Cheesy house. DH drank a beer then half a bottle of red tonight. I was astonished..... he rarely drinks that much. But then I thought that in 'my drinking days' (hopefully long past) that would have been either a warm up or just a very light night that I would have been proud of!!!!
Oh, another thing....... I have been drinking ribena and lemonade as my drink lately, and caught DH yesterday taking a sniff of it surreptitiously to see if it was wine.It made me feel so ashamed. Proud that there was nothing in it, but ashamed that he did so fairly automatically.
