For the last few weeks, I have had a peace over me that has not been there. I think it really is the emotional detachment that we strive for. It has been much easier to be away from my W, and I recognize how to move on without her.

I have recently been finding myself sliding a little. With the panic and chaos wearing off, I would assume that this is natural. Just when you begin to feel a calm, you let you guard down.

I have not been exercising the last few weeks like I had been and instead sleeping in. I have made myself much more accessible to my W. I have not kept a list of short term goals.

I think this needs to change. I started yesterday by not replying to my W's emails and text messages regularly. I had a friend ask me yesterday if I wanted to train for a triathlon with him. You bet! Great way to GAL.

I need to keep my focus. Anybody else have these feelings of letting up as things begin to get easier for you? Ideas on how to keep focused?
