I'm patting myself on the back
So, many of you know that July 3 was my quit anniversary, and that I have been an official non-smoker since that date last year. I've been exceedingly proud of myself for that, as I feel I have every right to be.
Since then I've also improved my diet (a lot) and finally, the big step ... I joined the gym (again) yesterday. I haven't been to the gym in over two years ... and it shows.
I've never been a small girl, was always overweight and honestly, in perfect health, so it never bothered me. I grew up with lots of friends and it was never an issue to me, and I felt very lucky for that, because I know that kids (and teenagers) can be cruel.
It didn't bother me to be an overweight bride. DH is also overweight and I felt beautiful on my wedding day.
I'm still in perfect health and consider myself lucky for that, but I realize that since we want to start having kids in the not-too-distant future ... I owe it to them to be the healthiest I can be. I don't want to have a difficult pregnancy, or a difficult recovery, or a difficult anything.
So I'm making positive change after positive change for myself, and it feels really good. I just wanted to share because I'm proud of myself for making these decisions and for doing this for myself.
Anyway ... just wanted to share. Feeling good about myself today.![]()
