I am over the top excited and about to bust my seams! And, it sure wouldn't be a pretty sight for anyone's eyes to behold. hahaha.
I've been doing a lot thinking about myself. Trying to figure out what it is that I need. Praying and asking God for direction. Considering all that I do and don't do to take care of myself. I made up my mind that - once and for all - I need to quit smoking, lose weight and become healthy. So. That's what I'm doing.
I feel great. How did I quit smoking, you ask? I smoked one night up until bedtime and didn't smoke the next morning. Or since. Easy as that. No nicotine patches, no nicotine chewing gum, no drugs, no hypnosis. What then, you ask?
God. It's me and God. I asked for His help and He is giving it. He definitely has my back on this one.
And, I joined a fitness club! Today. Yup, I did! I am sooo excited! It is really time for me. Ya know when you feel a nudge...inside of yourself...like a 'come on, you can do it' sort of thing. Or, like a 'well, I really should try this...' but then you don't. Today I feel as if the wind is at my back...moving me forward. Momentum...moving toward...what?
So, that's what I'm feeling.
My Faith in God and a wee bit of my Irish heritage.
Awesome!

Here's how I quit. I dreamt I had lung cancer, the doctor was telling me that I'd be dead shortly! I woke up with my arm asleep, thinking it was because I was dying...I never smoked again!!!!!!!!!! It's been 30 years...the scare of my life. If you need encouragement, just say to yourself.."I don't smoke."
Good for you. good for you!
Here in Canada we are now putting the photo of a woman who died of lung cancer on the packages of all cigarettes...
Congrats Jacque!!!
The quitting smoking was not a huge surprise to me, but joining a health club is a HUGE step for you...I'm proud of you and you will do good.
Love,
Janer
Congratulations!!!
Yippee and congratulations to you! Girl you just keep looking forward. That was a hard thing to do and I'm so proud of you!
Way to go Jacque! Quitting smoking for me was not too bad once I put my mind too it. I actually began to hate it before I quit. The smell and taste in my mouth. YUCK! I know you'll do it! God is good. Now if I could only get on track with the eating well bit!
Wow!!!!! Good for you! Are all 4 of us smoke-free sisters now?? Proud of you. Keep on.
