After getting clean from Heroin and everything else I have been doing to myself for years, I thought I would be healthier. Come to find out that even when you stop smoking after 30 years, a lot of the damage has already been done. I find myself winded and short of breath, even when I am not really doing much.
Worse yet, you can't just eat anything you want apparently. When I was in rehab I put on about 30 pounds in the first month, I was eating like a horse! I justified it by saying that I was making up for the years of eating Little Debbies and Mountain Dew. When I got clean I weighed about 160 pounds, now 18 months later I weigh 230. Maybe that is why I am winded from doing nothing huh?
Before...About 18 months ago...
Today...
Enough!!!
I have decided it is time to do something about this travesty of justice! As of today I am going on a strict diet and exercise regimen. We have the weights and equipment right here in the house to do what I need to. Unfortunately we also eat very good here...
Gotta stop this...
And start using this...
Starting today!!!
First thing I am going to do is stop drinking my calories, no more Mountain Dew! I am drinking my last one today. I am also going to start eating in moderation and eat more vegetables and fruits. Getting exercise will be mandatory, daily walks to start with, and light workouts progressively getting more difficult.
Of course...
Since I am all about recovery, change, and showing support for those trying to do different, I am going to do a short daily or bi daily blog about how things are going for me. I hope I can maybe get some advice and encouragement! You guys have always been great to me and I know you will continue to help!!
As Always...
