Sorry I haven't updated my results like I promised to in my last post over a month ago. I am so lame! But, I am not a smoker!!!! Yay for me, and thank you Chantix!
Doctor's office did call me and let me know my numbers are down from last time, but still too high. It's not a good report, and I'm a bad girl eating things I shouldn't.
I did have a talk with hubby about our food issues. He doesn't eat what I cook sometimes, and he would eat steak every night if we could afford that. Or sandwiches. LOL I'm sorry. I just can't deal with that kind of diet. I need veggies and fruit. Weird thing is that his numbers are just fine despite eating a lot of crap sometimes. It's just crazy. Makes me crazy. OK, so I've been crazy for a while....
I'm trying to watch what I eat and exercise more. I am getting some more muscles, so that's good I guess. The gym is such a respite. Love being in the "no judgement zone." Says so right on the door and on big posters inside. I feel so great after a workout, and so does Bill, so we are now gym people. I never dreamed I'd be one, but look at me now, and I'll be 50 in less than 6 months.
I guess some of us reach a point in our lives where we absolutely have to change for our health and well being, not to mention simple peace of mind. My first move was quitting smoking, then eating right and exercise with my Wii. Diet and exercise went by the wayside for a while, but I'm trying to be better now. Exercise I'm not having a problem with, but the food, I am. I am a foodie, and love tastes and textures. I like to try new things, and it's not like I can just stop eating completely like I quit smoking completely.
Anyway, I'm admitting it, so I will make more of an effort with my food intake. Wish me luck! Good luck to everyone who is taking the journey to being a non smoker. You can do it! You have all the power within you!
