Getting it together

I don't 'do' New Year resolutions. I do however want to make positive changes in my life.

I quit smoking..again. Its not cool to smoke and really not cool if your a cancer survivor. Once an addict, always an addict. I didn't quit when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, instead, I had a cig and said "fuck, i have cancer"!!  I did manage to quit for almost a full year and then thought on vacation I could have a few cigs. Some people might be able to do that but I can't have any or I'm back to smoking like ten a day.

I quit the day after the new year and haven't smoked since. This time, I hope for good. I know that there is always a possibility that I might have to be back in that chemo chair, but I don't want it to be my doing!

I am also trying to get it together by going to the gym. I got myself a personal trainer. Why? because I'm too lazy to just go to the gym on my own. I won't skip an appointment so this works well for me. My trainer is Rob and he is kicking my ass. It is really much more than I expected. I'm learning how to exercise the right way and also to eat better and more frequently throughout the day. Laying off the wine is my biggest challenge.

I am going to try and post a encouraging or inspirational quote everyday..I think it will help me mentally.

Good luck with both the quitting and the get-fitting. :)
