It is mostly Day 11. I have stepped off my path a couple of times, but I mostly remain true to my course. I don't want to smoke anymore, so I'm quitting. Plain and simple. I get stressed out sometimes, and that's when I step away a bit. But, that was only a couple of times on the weekend, and I'm doing fine now.
Other than not smoking, there are several other things I am not doing as well.
**Just a side note, so everyone is aware. I'm working on making myself a better person, inside and out. This is why I'm working on all these things. I'm trying to get more healthy along with everything else I'm working on with myself. I am NOT going all weird, psychotic, churchy, religious, anything. I'm still me. Just working on being a healthy and happier me. ^_^
I just wanted to put that out there because it does seem like I'm giving up everything I would need to give up to be more of a churchy person, but if you know me at all, you know that's not going to happen.
So, now that we got that out. I'm going through a detox this week. It's going to be the jump start to my actual diet and work out routine to get my body in shape and toned up as much as possible. No, I don't think I'm fat, so any of you out there reading this can just chillax and hold off on the "You're so skinny already" blah blah blah comments. I've already heard these a few times. The issue I'm having is with my problem areas. My stomach, my thighs, and my ass. These things have GOT to change. I can't stand to even look in the mirror. More than anything, though, I really just want to look at my peak for my 10 year high school reunion this year. ^_~
With this detox, I can start to lose a little bit of the weight, and get ready to really start working out. I'm going to start a regular work out routine next week after this diet is over. I am also going to be starting an actual normal diet as well.
I'm quitting smoking. I'm not drinking NEAR like I was before. I'm cutting junk food out of my diet. I've already cut caffeine. See what I mean? No, I'm not going churchy. I promise. If it will make you all feel better, if you comment, I'll personally send you a string of profanities to prove I'm still the same old me. lol
So, that's where I'm at. It's Day 2 of my detox. Yesterday was all fruits. Today is all veggies. Tomorrow I get both. Thursday I get to add in some milk and bananas. Friday, I get meat! Well, okay, it doesn't really count as meat. It's salmon. But either way, I get something of substance. Then Saturday and Sunday, it's kind of mixes of everything. By the end of the week, I should have lost at least a few pounds. That will be nice, and more than anything it will keep me motivated to lose more and get even more in shape.
I'm really excited. And I have to say thank you really quick to my little anonymous commenter. Thanks so much for your positive comments. It really did help. ^_^
And thanks to everyone else's warm thoughts while I was at my worst. I love and appreciate you all! Thank you!
keep it up, danni. don't quit! i'm really impressed with your dedication to this. i mean, everyone knows that smoking is good to quit, but it's a lot more difficult to DO than to say. the fact that you're making an effort to put it behind you is awesome.
ReplyDeletebut that's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it? changing so many aspects at once is a HUUUUGE undertaking! i wish you well on all of it.
GO DANNI GO!
I glad that everything is going good, keep it up. I know it's cheesy but you really can do anything you put your mind to as long as you can stick with it. Congrats!
