(no subject)
I really need to get my health under control. I'm overweight, I smoke too much pot and I really need to let go of the cigarette habit. The only thing I don't overindulge on lately is booze and sex (which, five years ago was a totally different problem).
I have this fantasy that I'll start jogging to lose weight (mostly because it is the cool thing to do these days) but then I realize that I'm a terrible slacker and have absolutely no motivation to make my body do something that it has never, ever done. I can count on my fingers the number of times I've run and most of those are because I was in danger, scared or about to be arrested.
I have never been the "good girl". Being rebellious is/was always so much fun but now that some of that rebellious nature is affecting my health, I gotta step back and do some damage control.
The first hurdle: smoking. I've quit several times in the past - mostly for a month or two. The longest was 3 months. Somehow something always happens and there I am, huddled on the porch steps sucking on a cancer stick like my life depends on it. I've never been good with stress relief and that is a stress relief for me. Hell, I've been smoking longer than I've been doing anything else besides eating, breathing walking and talking. I'm not sure what life is LIKE without smoking. I vagually remember feeling better, being able to run with Breaker and smelling better but it was such a short time span that...
Yeah.
So quit smoking. First on the list.
