Been fighting

It has been a long struggle but I am almost done. I have gotten to the point where I think I want a cigarette but when I start to have one I feel a little sick, dizzy, etc. so I don’t finish it. I feel stronger and stronger about it as time goes on. I haven’t posted many updates because typing and not smoking wasn’t working. Now it seems I can again.

Day One

Today, ate like crap but only drank three sodas and only smoked 0ne cigarette (no coffee today). Walked the dogs again with my daughter…I am going to watch Leverage,  go to bed and put a close on the day.

Took the dogs out for a walk for the first time in months today, a total of forty five minutes of stress free walking! Now if I can do this at least three times a week I can get myself in better physical shape. Of course exercise also has additional mental and emotional benefits as well. Stress is a big problem for me, as I have anxiety issues, so this should help to mitigate that as well.

What is this about?

This is about my journey to be a healthier, happier me. It starts with quitting the smoking. This starts next week and will be followed by walking, meditating, less eating, more fun stuff with family. I am going to journal it all here, I will try to post everyday starting Sunday.

I am not currently the me that I want to be, so I am going to be that me. Care to follow along?
