Inspiration From Others!

Hi everyone! It's now after midnight and what's been keeping me up? Reading and commenting on all your wonderful blogs! I have had so much enjoyment, inspiration and a feeling of belonging it has trully been time well spent. Really now have to get my but into gear with the excercise...no more excuses! I do find it harder with school holidays and Brodie is just not at all interested in coming for walks with me (and NO I can't just drag him along - he's a bit heavy these days!). I do have an excercise bike though and plenty of DVDS and light weights so I'll just have to do it as the famous Nike ad said! The not smoking is going well though still extremely hard going! I really wish I could just smoke a few a day but know that any cigarettes do me damage and I also know that a few would turn into 5 then 7 and so on! It's great that there are sites like about.com - smoking cessation which have forums and you can vent or just read that others are all going through similar feelings and withdrawal symptoms. It's also nice to read about the success stories! What I didn't like reading was that it actually is a fact that my metabolism will slow down! I knew smokers usually did put on a bit of weight when they quit but I thought it was because they were replacing cigarettes with food which I have been really trying to avoid but this puts an even harder slope on my ever growing mountain to lose weight!!! Oh well better be settling down for bed so until next time.....dance like there's no one's watching!
