A couple of months ago, I convinced hubby to join a gym, and we have been very good about going at least 3 times a week. We sort of push each other, and it's fun to have a workout buddy. I can actually run in short bursts now. Me...yes, me...former smoker galore...running! It feels totally awesome to be able to control my breathing, but I must admit my knees are hurting.
I'm still not smoking thanks to will power and Chantix, but Bill (hubby) is still smoking. I know the decision to quit is completely his own, and I try not to be a nag. I don't even have any cravings.
I haven't been checking in here as much because I've been busy with my smoke free life. I have been taking care of family and working out with hubby. Unfortunately, I haven't adjusted my diet correctly, so I haven't lost any weight. I am gaining muscles though, so that's a good thing. I'll be better. I promise. I'm saying that, but I had a late breakfast at Waffle House today. I was so bad, I dare not even admit what I ate. Oh, and yesterday, I had....never mind.
I just went to the doc yesterday to have my cholesterol and A1C blood sugar tested. My levels were really high in February, so I'm hoping this time they'll be in the normal range. I'll post again to let you know. I really need to get back to recording food and exercise on My Fitness Pal. I even have the app on my phone, but I'm losing discipline with it.
I should know better about my diet. I know how to get in shape and lose weight. I just have to have the willpower. Maybe I should change my blog name to something about diet and exercise. Nah.
Signing off now, but will check in again to let you know about my cholesterol and blood sugar. I should know tomorrow or Monday. Keeping my fingers crossed for myself and all of you who are trying to quit smoking. Get smober! Stay smober!
