Well, forgive me for updating my first day – but I really should do this properly;
Today I have been swimming. I have decided that for my three meals, I will eat a cereal for breakfast. I have bought some thick soups that I can heat up in the morning, pop in a flask and eat for lunch time whilst I’m out on the road. Then Sal and I will eat an evening meal together in the evening.
I have everything I need to make this month a success. I have bought a thermos flask (I didn’t have one!!) to keep my soup warm for lunchtimes. I have checked the calorie content, saturated fat content and salt / sugar content of the soups.
I have also bought a supply of cranberry juice, which is a good anti-oxident and source of vitamin C. In addition to all of this, I have been swimming this evening and completed my 20 sit-ups. I will do another 20 sit-ups before I go to bed this evening.
The not smoking today has been ok. I’ve had some seriously bad craving moments though. I’ve also found myself snap at Sal occasionally for the lightest of reasons. I must acknowledge that it’s down to a substantial swift in my lifestyle and my body is starting to miss the nicotene.
So far, I’m keen to make this month a success. I’m looking forward to seeing what effect all of this has on the quality of how I feel in the mornings and evenings. I’m also keen to know what sort of effect this will have on my weight. June is officially my month of health and fitness. I’m going full tilt to see just how much better I can feel.
Day 1 is nearing an end. Day 2 begins soon…
Rich, congratulations!
I’m tempted to join you, really I am, it’s a fantastic idea, but I must finish this cookie first.
You’ll feel like hell in a about a week or two and start coughing, Your lungs will realise that your not feeding them toxins on a daily basis and will want to purge what’s already lying in there….
….but keep at it, It passes.
