Well the 30 day thing is done. Mmm hmm. Had some espresso to start my day and a beer to end it. I'm sure I could write an 8 page entry about the ordeal (1 for every year I've gone without taking a break like this) but that wouldn't be very interesting to all but a few individuals, and besides, it's bit more personal than public bloggery. Long story short, I feel better in general although I'm a bit more cranky on average. It was good to come up for air, or recharge or whatever (without doing anything too drastic) and have such noticeable and positive effects. I get the feeling Nicole got the same thing out of this ;) a definite "what she said" going on here.
Last night Nicole and I learned how to ride the velo. Took about 1 lap around the 48 degree bank for me to be sold. And even in the infant stages of slowly turning left in a noob like manner, it has kick-started the part of my brain that loves to compete and kick the crap out of myself physically. Got racing on the brain for sure! Going back for lesson 2 & 3 as well as a racing clinic. I think I just need the distraction of potentially competing to add the missing link in maintaining the effort made in the last month. Something to fill that idle time normally spent boozing.
We'll see how it goes, but I expect I'll be my detox in a more ironic manner in the near future!
