Well, After a trip to my Local E.R. and a Visit with my Doc. today, I have decided I need to get into shape before Summers End!
First to go is the Cigarettes, BAD, NASTY, ADDICTIVE, AND A KILLER!.
I was very Surprised at the Stats of Heroin, Crystal Meth, and Alcohol related deaths per year verse's Cigarette related deaths.
In the US. Cigarette related deaths are in the 400,000 ALMOST DOUBLE FROM THE OTHERS.
So I am going to try very hard to stop.
Morning is my roughest, as soon as my feet hit the floor I start.
Tomorrow morning I am starting my day by Walking as soon as my feet hit the floor, I will lace-up my sneakers and hit the road.
I am thinking the fresh morning air will make me feel refreshed enough to stay away from inhaling NASTY Smoke.
I stopped in at my Local Gym after the Doctors and signed up for a 3 day a week fitness plan.
Hopefully by Summers end I will have lost my needed 50lbs, and be back in shape again.
I am so amazed how quickly weight has come on.
Being one of the lucky ones, I really have never had to battle my weight.
Now 40 and comfortable with my life, I have gone from a size 7 to a 14.
Not like high school when I would never have let myself gain weight.
I have been comfortable in my shell, so have not had any weight concerns until my Blood Pressure has gone completely out of control and I am heading for a Stroke at 40..
It is now time to WAKE-UP and get Heathly.
You would think with Paul having his HEart Attack In Dec. I would have been more aware of my own health.
I guess sometimes we get caught up in helping others, and forget to help ourselves.
Well, Wish me luck!!
NO SMOKING AND NO CHOCOLATE!! OH MY WILL I SURVIVE?
WELL ON A GOOD NOTE!
FINALLY!!!! ART CLASS FOR ADULTS IS BEING OFFERED IN THIS SMALL COMMUNITY.
So Myself along with a few other Friends will be starting a real art gallery class on painting humans...YAY I am so excited!
I Will bring tips back with me to keep you all posted.

Best Wishes Tammy! I am sure you have heard it all...but take it slow and make the change last...Stock up on Crystal Light it makes needing to drink all that water easier to do!!! (love that stuff!) Take care...let us know how you are doing!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck! You can do it!
ReplyDeleteTammy I wish you the very on your fitness program...Lord knows I should get into one myself! I am not a smoker, my drug of choice is food, carbs in particular!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
Hi Tammy, Sorry I haven't been by in a while.
ReplyDeleteTaking a step back from blogging and artwork for a while to spend more time with my daughter
who is home for the summer from college.
Love the new look of your blog!
Good luck with your smoking cessation. I know from experience that it is a very hard thing to do. I quit cold-turkey 19 years ago and there are times that I still want one! My husband is still trying to quit.
The only way I did it, was to set a date to quit. I planned it for 3 months before I actually quit so that I had time to get used to it. I decided to let myself have as many cigarettes as possible until that date and then I just put the pack down and QUIT!
It worked for me but I guess it's not for everyone. My step-son quit with the help of hypnosis, which is what my husband wants to try.
Hopefully you can kick the habit! Pick up a paintbrush instead of a cigarette next time you have the urge... Maybe that will help.
Sorry for the long comment.
Have a great rest of your week.
hugs,
cathy
Tammy,
ReplyDeleteYou can do it. Little steps to start; the smoking will be the hardest bit.
The morning walk sounds like a great idea...
Good luck and good health,
Kelly
HI LADIES,
