All smiles

Day 9

Okay, I have felt a little on edge this past week, probably due to the quitting smoking, and also the fact that I am a deep thinker and have been wrestling with a few goals of mine the past couple months. Sometimes life needs to be rearranged. I sought the advice of my mother yesterday and I feel much better. Sometimes a gal just needs her mama to slap her into position again. Game face on.

When you quit a nasty habit like smoking, your body starts to do things and feel things it hasn't done in years. The toxins are leaving my body, my sense of taste and smell is heightened and even my sense of touch seems to be heightened. I feel amazing. Oh and I smell super yummy! I had the best workout ever this morning and apparently no one in my 700 employee building exercises their new years resolution at 7:30 am which left me with a completely empty gym. That's what I call serenity.

On top of quitting smoking I seriously want this to be my best year ever in terms of my physical state. Mind is conquered and its on to the body now. This unfortunately means a less than appetizing menu. Breakfast is a protein shake, lunch is spinach salad with crushed walnuts and snacks are rice crackers and hummus and trail mix. Dinner will be a fruit smoothie and a piece of chicken or fish, whatever I feel like at the time. Exciting. Anyone who knows me knows I am not one of those foo foo girls who orders salad all the time. When I go on a date, I order a burger or a buffalo chicken sandwich. I have no shame in it. I'm a bold spoken Aries girl and a textbook one at that. You must love me for me otherwise you can hit the trails on the horse you rode in on. Anyways, if you are on a similar plan or mission to get super healthy and are in fact ready for a complete life makeover like I am, stick with it. Suffer through the lighter and less savoury meals you are used to and keep an eye on the prize. Good things are worth the wait and the fight. True story.

Back to work
