Day Nine - Ho Hum

Cravings not too bad today. Gum usage a little less than yesterday, so that's fine.

But now that I've stopped smoking and cut back somewhat on my drinking (two beers before bed last night), my body is reminding me that I need to exercise.

The last time I was at the gym on a regular basis was well over a year ago. Dreading going back because I know its going to hurt when I do. But I have to go back or else I'm going to keep getting fatter and fatter. Already over 220 pounds - feel like a sausage trying to burst out of its skin.

So, I need to set a date and prepare for it properly. Next Monday works - as long as I don't drink too much on Sunday, which I doubt I will because I have to drive over 100 miles home from the regatta.

The hardest part of recovery is getting started - once you do that, and if you can keep a routine going for at least two weeks it becomes much easier because after two weeks you start to notice the positive changes taking place.

And I really want to stop feeling like I'm about to split the seam on the backside of my pants.

Amount saved on cigarettes: $72.00
