Saturday and Sunday - these have been days that tested my commitment and willpower.
So far in the last two weeks i have mostly avoided my regular social habits in an effort to remain on track with new commitments and intention. I also look forward to re-emerging a transformed person - both inside and out.
That said the weekend invited both going out socially with friends to Detroit Bar and the Santa Ana Artwalk and the Super Bowl.
Ill admit i was on the edge often of ordering a glass of wine or having a cocktail throughout Saturday night. We went to go see some friends play some house music at Detroit and get our groove on. Saw a bunch of familiar faces and lingered socially - albeit a bit more reserved than usual. After about an hour i was ready to go. When i got home i ate a coconut ball from 118 Degrees and noticed my mind was off center. I decided to go to bed.
Sunday - GAME DAY - Now I'm not too much of a football / sports nut but i love great competition in championship games and the social cheering and fun that goes along. That includes all the snack food and beer! So going to meet some friends a house party to watch the game was yet another challenge.
Common courtesy... i bring over a twelve pack. LOL - getting there the vibe is fun festive and everything you'd expect that day. Probably the reason why i got there an hour after kick off lol . I'm not there five minutes and Patrick asks me how the program is going and proceeds to tell everyone what I'm doing and how awesome it is. Many different looks of wow and why and cool and whats that and more but all supportive which was cool. I laughed and showed them my pocket of Lara Bars.
In this lifestyle, i cannot stress enough - Preparation Is Everything!
All in all it was a great day a great environment to be tested in and an awesome football game. The Giants were prepared to win for sure and as they hoisted to their victory i subtly congratulated myself on my own.
This weekend marked a milestone closer to making this program more of a lifestyle and one i look forward to.
Matt
