Last week, good! Weekend, bad! Sensing a theme? I just get tired of it all.
BUT from cutting way back on smoking to quitting altogether, it has been all good. I know "they" say cold turkey is best or gum or whatever, but I have this theory that you get used to the amount of nicotine in your system so first try to reduce that amount until it's comfortable. Then, maybe, hopefully, cold turkey won't seem so bad. I'm sure next week I'll have an update on that, but last night we cleared out the cigarettes. Today we are planning our walk to the market and to buy crickets which is the opposite direction of where we walk to buy smokes and for the most part we have plans all week to give us something, anything to do hoping that boredom won't become the excuse.
Still going to try eating right, but frankly I expect it will get harder as the week continues.
I do think I have every flavor of gum on the planet in our cupboard though...
A husband and wife team of educated and sometimes rebellious thoughts on the adventures of weight loss.
Who we are and why we are here:
'He' started out at 450 lbs. 'She' started out at 300 lbs (although had been as high as 330 lbs at one point). Between them they've lost weight, gained weight, and learned a lot along the way.
What you'll find here are our educated thoughts, opinions, and tips for a healthier lifestyle. 'He' minored in psychology, 'she' majored in history - two research heavy fields that have made them both skeptical and able to weed through the sludge in order to find gems. Neither of us is perfect by any means, but as much as possible, we will try not to lead you astray with unfounded, sensational, or fad information.

We are intentionally avoiding fad diets, expensive meal plans, and other extreme (expensive!) weight loss plans.
I can't even imagine quitting smoking & dieting at the same time! I hate dieting! If I had to quit something I love at the same time....well, I think it would be pretty ugly at my house. :) Good luck with it all.
ReplyDeleteYeah, both at the same time was a bad idea. I knew it going in, but maybe since I'm almost resigned to failure, giving myself two tasks means I can fail and succeed at the same time? I make no sense even to myself.
