Hi Pro Buddies!

This morning I went to the gym & did my stretching and ab exercises.

Yesterday at work was running all day. Today was more like usual -- I could work mostly at my desk. I progressed on things that I didn't complete yesterday. A few projects from one boss are having a trial-and-error element to them, so they are still in progress. At lunchtime I did an errand, then ate food I had brought from home.

In the afternoon, I kept working down my assignment list. I updated the assignment list at the end of the day, but have realized I will need to add one or more things in the morning. I finished work early for a meeting offsite. The meeting went well.

Arriving at home, I changed clothes & went to a neighborhood festival. It was fun and I had a good dinner. I talked to someone while I was there. I'll go to the festival a couple more times this weekend with friends, so that will be good. It's one of my most favorite things to do during the year.

After dinner at the festival, I want to let my food digest for a while. I will see if I do a couple things tonight after resting a bit.

Have a great night, everyone! :)

I have one day in the bag for the following bottomlines:

• No youtube, no youtube watch network, no youtube on other sites whenever I can avoid it, no ustream, no blogtv
• no fan lines, especially saynow.com
• No facebook
• no okcupid or other dating sites, including jdate or Plenty of Fish
• No contacting men I find attractive on Myspace
• No
  Internet chat that is not twelve-step or for work purposes.  When I
  think about doing this with someone I need to come back to my personal
  objectives. 
• No public blogging on livejournal or blogspot and other such sites, but I can use blogger for private journalling, if necessary.

And I'm committing to the following toplines:

breakfast

thirty minutes of exercise{running, swimming, yoga, dance, ballet, tap, karate, walking, jogging}

a daily assessment of my goals and affirmations

brushing my teeth and using listerine in the morning

brushing, using floss , listerine and a periodontic brush at night

Yesterday, my first day, I did pretty well at the first four of those.  I did even walk for about twenty minutes, if you count it.  But today I need to refocus on toplines again.  Again, they're toplines.  They are what I aim for.  Total sobriety is defined by my bottomlines, but I cannot start making progress without the toplines.

Hi Fellow Travelers,

Need to turn over my fears: the person we want to rent the apartment from has not returned my calls from yesterday and all day the answering machine wasn't on. I have fears that they decided they don't want us or someone else has taken it. I promised myself I would not call again till after 4:00PM, when I usually can reach her.

Also, I have a fear I will be fired, even though I've been hoping for that because a senior position was eliminated and I think they might replace me with his secretary who has no where to go. She's pregnant, so in some way, I hope they do, she needs it more than I. If this happens we sure won't be able to move, but I'll be able to start my business.

My head can be a crazy place to live.

I'm thankful I have a place to come to.

Blessings to you all today.

That will keep me from fatiguing mentally, now for the most important part of the day i will devote most of the day to problem solving
