Beginning Again….

 

November 9, 2008

my original quit smoking day was for November 20th, 2008 and I did not want to procrastinate what I can do today. Soooo, I was ‘practicing’ quitting last week, and now I am quit again. I am within my first 24 hours as I quit yesterday at 1:30PM. I got the munchies late last night, so I ate two cans of fruit.

Now as for my healthful eating and exercise ~ it’s been difficult for some reason for me to get to the gym. I did go last week a couple times, but I used to go sometimes twice a day ~ I feel the depression has me a little overwhelmed and wanting to stay cooped up in doors, yet i must get out of this feeling. Is it possible to reach my goal of a size 7 when I am now a size 13-14? I wonder sometimes if this is even possible. I have not been a size 7 since high school! I have been a size 9 though and maybe that is more realistic. I’d be pleased to be at a size 9. I believe I can do anything I set my mind to, and for now it’s quitting smoking, so at the same time being a little gentle with myself, yet motivating myself in exercising. The eating isn’t as much of an issue for me. That is easier for me to tackle right now. I do love exercise! I really really do enjoy it! There is just something, something, holding me back now ~ maybe it’s psychological, and the drive I have always had to ’sabotages’ my self goals. Whatever it is , I hope I can get over this hump… and become all I can be…. through quitting smoking, exercise, healthful eating, breathing, etc. praying….

today so far (it’s only 5pm) I have eaten without smoking:
- a frozen chicken breast filled with broccoli and cheese (it’s small) with little calories. I will write them next time I have one.
- apples with lemon and cinnamon
- rice cake with peanut butter
- spinach with fake spray butter and spice (no salt)

dinner - ?

Good for you not procrastinating! It sounds like you have a pretty healthy prospective on things. It’s funny that you mentioned that you struggle with exercise and that eating well is easier…for me it’s the exact opposite. And yes…as someone who once went from a size 20 to a size 2/4, I think it is toatlly possible for you to be a size 7 again. You just have to decide if that is what you really want…and if it is worth the sacrifice, or if you would be satisfied to be a size larger.

WTG on kicking that habit early! i wasn’t very kind to my lungs on friday night, and boy could i feel it on the treadmill on monday. it’s amazing how damaging we can be to our bodies without thinking. keep up the good work!
