So last July, I am laying backin my bed smoking a ciggarette hacking every 2 seconds thinking about what the Dr. had said to me just hours before. To put it simple she called me walking dead, my triglicerides were extreemly high and I smoked, and a heart attack or stroke should be coming eventually.
So that night I made the decision I wasnt going to smoke any more and I wasnt going to gain anymore weight then I already had. quitting smoking and weight gain go hand and hand so how was this going to happen. I woke up on a very sunny july 14 wanting my morning smoke but put down a glass of water skipped the coffee and walked out the door and down to the local track. I literally walked and walked till i just couldnt anymore day after day the same thing and the ciggarette cravings went away and by september i had lost 30 pounds. Wow i was eating better, and feeling better and younger.
Heres where it gets interesting I live in New england, it gets real cold and it snows alot, and with that i got lazy, I still dont smoke i joined a gym which I
through the winter have paid more then i have gone. All the weight has come back and I feel like crap even without smoking, So today is it back to the good eating back to the gym and the track,and good bye to the excuses which seem to come so easy. My daughter will be 4 years old on sunday and I want to be here for so many more birthdays.
So here I go for a true new beginning
