Morning Queenbug - its 7.30am Wednesday morning here in NZ - I hope that you're feeling better now and more settled. I'm going to go for a run soon. I'm feeling okay this morning, just tired. Try to keep calm. Wine IS full of sugar so thats where the sugar cravings will now come and this is where I find it hard, being a marathon runner, sugar gives me a real boost after running and then the alcohol relaxes me after a long run. I do have special running supplements full of sugar for fuelling long runs so will use more of that. Have a wonderful rest of your day/evening

You too Mum6...I'm 20 mins away from shop closing and feeling much calmer...my daughter works in a gym and I'm taking her into work early tomorrow and going to go for a bit of a gentle workout...all this running talk is inspiring me! I spoke to her tonight about what I'm trying to do and she is very supportive...bless her.
I can imagine you really have to watch your sugar levels with your running...go steady, keep up with the supplements.
Enjoy your early morning run lovely, thanks for your support today....have a good day x

Hi Queenbug,
I have only just logged on so I did not see your thread earlier. Well done getting through today. Sometimes it feels like a demon inside, fighting to stay alive as you are trying to exercise it out of your life. It is truly a battle. You have stood up valiantly today. Get some well deserved rest.

Queenbug,

Before you find yourself feeling so frenzied again, check out the free guided mediatations on chopra.com or even on youtube. A lot of what we experience is not just physcical cravings but mental/emotional ones as well. If you set aside a few minutes everday & listen to one of those meditations you will be pleasantly surprised......they reallyhelp to mellow you out

Give it a try!

Yeah Queen, you made it! Take the L-Glut throughout the day, whether you're feeling a craving or not. I took it first thing in the morning, around lunch time, late afternoon/dinner time, and sometimes again around 8-9 pm. Keep it in your system around the clock if able.

Hope your day has been great Queenbug - another day done nearly - you should be so proud hun - well done! I think you're amazing. XXX PS I managed to squeeze in a quick 10k run then 10k walk back - is my sons 15th Birthday today, he has tourettes syndrome/adhd so I cant leave him with his younger siblings for very long. Tomorrow will be a nice long run if the weathers not too crappy. Bloody winter! My day started at -1 degree celsius this morning.

Morning QB how are you this morning? Thanks for your post on my thread, I made it through yesterday Af

Hya peeps! Thanks for all the messages....so so appreciate it!
Lav...can feel the frenzy slightly today but much more prepared, when I get chance I'm taking your advice and checking out meditations....I also checked out Women for Sobriety and am considering using some of their methods with the affirmations etc. - I'm trying to see this whole 15 year destructive cycle as a learning curve and remember that I fought against this from another direction through my childhood and I can turn it around. When I'm clear headed I know that I'm proud of myself for a lot of things that I've done and continue to do...and that my life is rich...this battle is a huge learning curve that will make it even richer...
Fly....am maxing the Glut...thanks for reassuring me!
Mum6...your energy is incredible! I did 2 more riverside walks this morning and a VERY gentle crosstraining session...bit at a time!!! I work with adolescents with complex needs (mostly social/emotional/mental health) and alongside some who have tourettes...my specialist area is creativity...despite all the obvious trickiness, without a doubt some of the most sparkiest adventurous creative individuals I've found!
Mad...Well done for yesterday....starts to feel good at times eh?
Well...now I'm going to tackle something that's about 12 months overdue...due to relationship breakdown, homelessness and swimming in red wine...MY FINANCES!!!! :blah:
If I manage to do this sober it will be a bloody miracle!!!!!
Back later...have a good day xx
