June 15, 201412 yr Ok, no worries for now, 5 1/2 hours walking in 3 days and 3am and some wine means I'm knackered and gonna sleep for now! When I would smoke, i walk, or exercise.Well the thoughts have up'ed their game and I'm pretty knackered now lol. Nowhere near the early days, just thoughts I don't want to entertain. Lower impact ideas now required?! Why am I not the size of a supermodel too with all this exercise, life is pretty unfair lol.
June 15, 201412 yr I wish I could come and have a walk with you today. Keep going Marti your doing so well

I don't think you get to be a supermodel until one year...I'm getting close so I will report back!
June 15, 201412 yr Why am I not the size of a supermodel too with all this exercise, life is pretty unfair lol. Because you're much healthier than a supermodel. :)
June 15, 201412 yr Marti,, you are doing fantastic lady!! Just keep moving forward. Enough of this thinking nonsense....thinking gets us in trouble.
June 15, 201412 yr Morning Marti! HALT. Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. We are always more at risk when we feel these. Just keep nudging along, you are doing Brilliantly!
June 15, 201412 yr Maybe a new hobby to keep you busy? My wife used to make jewelry by wrapping stone and crystals in wire then adding them necklaces. Maybe teach yourself a different cuisine? Tai chi? Numbers game?
June 15, 201412 yr Author Thank you all. Yes, something like that is what I'm after Paul. I'm pretty surprised I am still having thoughts but have understood they are "only thoughts". So I'm ok. But I don't like having them ya know. So I walk and by the time I've done that for a while, the thoughts are literally gone. Or I do Yoga or whatever - no more thoughts. Anything else, like cleaning/reading etc just seems to distract for a while but not actually get rid of them altogether if that makes sense. Perhaps I should just google hobbies? Need something as well as exercise I think.
June 15, 201412 yr Why am I not the size of a supermodel too with all this exercise, life is pretty unfair lol. Size is a function of The Kitchen, not The Gym. The Gym only controls several hundred calories a week, if you're lucky. The Kitchen controls tens of thousands of calories a week for most folks. Weight loss is, for The Sarge, about 85/15. 85% focused in The Kitchen and what he eats and 15% or less all the damned running he does (half-marathon (13.1 mile) run yesterday). Easy Peasy
June 15, 201412 yr Author PS: Not sure my body is "feeling healthy" think it's pretty shell shocked with all this walking tbh lol. Reeallly creaky right now, day of rest so I did an hours gardening instead, fun planting stuff.

Easy Peasy You said this to me before and you are absolutely right - sadly - I'd rather 20 mins yoga was the counter to weight gain ;) You will be pleased to know I did listen and I have been losing 1lb a week for 7 weeks with some diet amendments mostly. All good and the tips were appreciated :) Only wish I could do better but now I don't smoke.... FOOD TASTES SOOOOOO GOOD!!! I eat steak now too, which I always thought was tasteless! Victim of my own quitting smoking success :)
