I've been smoke-free for 136 days, and still going strong, miraculously. I haven't gained weight since I quit, so I guess that's a victory. But I haven't lost anything significant either.
With smoking seemingly under my belt, my focus has turned to being more careful about what I put into my body. Will start with calories and volume and then once I get that down, improve the quality. Only had soda once this week, and will strive to have none next week.
I feel like I sound like a broken record. I don't know why I can't just think of food as fuel and only eat the necessary amount of the necessary nutrients. I crave sugar uncontrollably. Also having trouble getting moving, exercise-wise.
Here are some things I'm trying to accomplish in the coming weeks:
1. Go back to my gluten-free lifestyle. I felt so much better when I was GF.
2. Cut carbs to no more than 100 grams per day. Some of this will come easier with the gluten-free diet, but rice and sugar can add up quickly.
3. Cut out soda all together.
4. Go to Bikram once. That won't make a dent in anything, but it's a start in the right direction. When I was at my healthiest, I was doing Bikram twice a week. Such a small amount but it made such a difference.
