I can't believe how fast the time has flown. I am over 6 months smoke free! I haven't posted in a while because I've just been swamped with things to do during the day. When the evening comes, I'm just not in the mood to post, so I go on Facebook and play games there to relax.
As a result of staying busy and running around during the day, then relaxing in the evening, I have put on weight. I haven't been doing my exercises, and I've been eating on the run. I gained 10 pounds in 2 months. Not good. My sugar has been running higher than usual, so I am just starting to carve out time to do my exercises. My tummy muscles are a bit sore from yesterday's workout, but my sugar went down after I did it.
The main reason I have for working out is my diabetes and keeping my sugar down. Second reason is vanity. A lot of my clothes don't fit, and those I can squeeze into, simply don't look right. I was feeling so confident before and fitting into cute clothes and feeling strong and great, so I need to get back to that. I started yesterday, and will fit in at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. I'll also start back with healthier eating. I wonder how long it will take me to lose this 10 pounds. Two months to gain it. I'll keep you posted on how long it takes to lose it.
I'll be using Myfitnesspal.com to track food and exercise. That helps keep me on track. I posted a link to their site over on the right. It really helps you track calories, and you'll probably be surprised at how much you eat in a day. I know I was.
Anyway, through all this, I am still smoke free, and I couldn't have done it without Chantix. Peace y'all!
