I started this Blog wih such good intentions. Unfortunately they didn't last. I've not been very well of late and have been eating all the wrong things, smoking and refusing to exercise. And I've been taking extra medication which came with a leaflet which said, 'Side effects: Weight gain.' The good news is that my mental health is greatly improved, Im being weaned off the extra pills and I'm ready to start over. Again. And again, if it's necessary. I'm nothing if not persistant. And, of course, I have a plan.
Quitting smoking, dieting and making a commitment to exercise are all big things. They're too big to do all at once, starting today. I've tried to do that before and fell flat on my face as soon as the wind changed. That's why I've got a plan this time. I do like a good plan. Here it is:
Week 1: Quit smoking
Week 2: Quit smoking
Week 3: Quit smoking + diet
Week 4: Quit smoking + diet
Week 5: Quit smoking + diet + exercise
Week 6: Quit smoking + diet + exercise ...
So, today, all I need to worry about is quitting smoking. I have the patch stuck to my body and the gum tucked into my cheek. I have toffees. I have something nice to do this evening (watch a film while eating munchies) and I know I can do this. I'll let you know for sure tomorrow ....
