Day 8 – Enough energy to work out

I am doing this, I am a nonsmoker.  I have quit for 7 full days and this morning is day 8.  I could not be more excited to know that I too can be free from cigarettes and the feeling I had of impending doom and eventually death at a young age.  I am stating to feel optimistic and I was already on the elliptical for 10 minutes this morning.  I know that may not seem like a lot to some, but for me it is a big accomplishment.  I am also struggling with plantar fasciitis, so with 23 minutes on the recumbent bike yesterday, I am going to hang my head high today and get the 10 minutes of exercise in at a time of that’s what it takes and work my way up to a healthier me..

I thought about my teeth last night and I spend $160 more a year than I need to so the dentist can clean the tobacco stains off my teeth.  I no longer have to worry about that extra $160 a year and the time for 2 extra visits a year and also my teeth will stay cleaner and healthier longer.  Another bonus I thought of.
