Day 8

Yesterday was a really hard day. I received some good news and of course the first thing I wanted to do was celebrate by going out to eat and having a beer. It dawned on me that what I have viewed as celebration in the past is more like self abuse due to my many addictions.

The good news is that I made it through the day and instead of celebrating my good news, I can celebrate my health and "sobriety"

Last nights dinner was really good. It was baked tofu with a bunch of herbs, steamed kale and sweet potato with garlic and walnuts. I mixed all of that together and served over a bed of Romaine lettuce and topped with balsamic vinegar.

After dinner, g/f and I went for a bike ride. She just bought her first road bike, so we only went 11 miles, but it was fun. I love riding through the arboretum.

Breakfast this morning is grapes, an orange, and 15 raw cashews. I have an apple too, but don't think that I am going to be hungry for it.
