Feeling GoodNov 12 2009 08:43
I'm loving the way I feel lately. I'm so motivated to live healthy since I quit smoking. I'm glad it's been so easy to quit, or at least easier than any other time I've tried to quit.
And I also think it was a smart move to get started at the gym the same day I quit. I can't say I'm seeing any results there, but I also just started watching my calorie intake.
This is not my first time at Calorie Count, so you would think I would have known that my portions and intake were out of control. But no, it took me getting up to 160 pounds (160 POUNDS!!) to tell myself "Whoa!".
I don't know what I was thinking.
So now, I'm not smoking, I'm exercising, I'm eating healthy, drinking more water and for added oomph I have cut out carbs after 4 pm.
We'll see how this works for a few weeks.
Jeebus, I *wish* I were 160 lbs right now.. . Haven't been that tiny since I don't know. .. Grade 9? lol I quit smoking too in February and it's amazing. I hope you're not suffering too much. You'll have an epiphany a few months down the line when you realize you're a non-smoker now. Best moment ever. Relish it like crazy :D |
Nope, not suffering at all, really. I tried to attack it from a bunch of different angles this time though because I really wanted to quit cold turkey. I think all those different angles may have helped tremendously. I had one really bad, teeth-gnashing, crying, bitching, you-name-it kind of day a little over a week ago, but I'm blaming it on PMS :) I know the 160 may not seem like much, but I haven't been this heavy since I was pregnant -- actually carrying the lil' heathens -- and I want to nip it in the bud because I know my appetite and it could get out of control, lol. Thanks for the friend addition. I really enjoy meeting new people on here :) |
