Back on the Bandwagon

Monday, November 18th

So I bought a pack of cigarettes Labor Day weekend after spending the weekend at my Dad's with my two-year-old.  A 3.5 hour drive one way, plus we went to Duluth one day.  I was pretty stressed out by Sunday afternoon.  My fall off the bandwagon continued until mid-October.  I am now going on 3 weeks (I think; I am trying to remember the day of my last smoke, I didn't mark it down any where).  Of course, it feels like more than a month, but I spent this past weekend at my Dad's again, but I did NOT end up smoking!  There were even 2 smokers also visiting my Dad, and I did not get a craving.  I saw a pack of cigarettes and smelled it, and did not want it.  Yay!!!!

I also joined a gym 10/22/13.  So almost being a month, and making it there multiple times per week, I thought I would step on the scale today.  Nada.  Nothing lost.  Sad face.  But, I am positive!  I am not smoking.  I am not sleeping all day.  I am exercising.  I ate well today!  I just finished chicken and mixed vegetables for supper.  I can do this!!!!  Hmmmm....have I posted my weight on here before?  Well, I will now.  109kg.  My goal?  66kg.  The difference? About 95 pounds.  My gym has 2 pictures of 2 men who are in the "Century Club"  for losing over 100 pounds.  I kind of what to be the first woman in this club.  Not sure I could be that light-weight, especially since I enjoy having some muscle.  

That's where I am at.  Not smoking, working out.  TRYING to eat clean.  Trying.  :)  Hey, other people survive on healthy food, why can't I?  Actually, that brings me to a topic I have been thinking about lately.

So there is an obesity problem in the United States, and I have a theory to why.  Cheap food is horrible for you!  The food poor people can afford is junk!  Organic costs more.  Eating fresh costs more.  What a stupid system.  End rant.

Time to spend time with my little girl.
