17 DOF

Sitting here reflecting what the last 17 days have been like, and wondering how I am 

doing this so easily for the first time.  (Not complaining)

Today, I am up 10 lbs and have decided I am going to do something about it.  I got home

from work, and did a brisk 1 mile walk on the treadmill, and then 2 miles on my bicycle 

when the guys both got home from work. (I got them both out on the bikes with me) 

I realized today, that I am constantly eating throughout my day at work.  Now I have to 

change the things I have been eating to healthier snacks.  Everything seems to be going 

to my mid-section.  I have found that, because I am not smoking, I am replacing it with 

food.  Par for the course, I'm sure.  

I am disappointed in myself, but know what I have to do to change things around.   

But the biggest thing is.....I DO NOT HAVE TO GO BACK TO SMOKING TO CHANGE 

THE THINGS I WANT TO CHANGE!  N.O.P.E. 

I am so darn proud of ME for getting on the Freedom Train, I am loving the ride!  

I hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying their Freedom!

I'm an active 55 year old woman, who loves hanging with my family. I have 5 children 2 of them married, and 4 grand children. They are all my whole world. UPDATE 8/21/23 Now 61 years and have 2 more grandsons to add to the crew! My hobbies are bike riding, golfing, bowling, kayaking, painting (canvas or rocks) and gardening (getting the hang of it finally) I have smoked since I was 13 yrs old, and quit one time within the last ten years for a total of 9 months. Stress took me back to smoking. My life has been stress free for the last couple of years. Divorced for 2 years now, but back together with my Ex (husband) for a year now. It's time, I'm ready, and I quit! So far it's been pretty easy, so I'm very optimistic about this being my final quit! Thanks in advance for all the support! 2023 - Update: I now have 2 more grandbabies for a total of 6 and still smoke free! They will never get to know me as a smoker!!!!!!
