I will be 40 in 2 months. I can't believe it! What I really have a hard time grasping is where and how fast the time has gone. I mean seriously, I can't believe it. My second oldest just went to prom this week, how is that possible? I remember both of my proms!! It seems like yesterday. Since it feels like yesterday, that I was 16, it is easy to overlook the fact that I have been smoking since I was 16. Yep, that is a long time. A horrible addiction that started as peer pressure and I have never been able to fully quit. Ok, I have put the habit down for a few months at a time but, there has always been this pull.
Now, I have to be honest, cigarettes have lots of really good friends. Their names are soda, beer, wine, margaritas and any fattening meal you can imagine! I can imagine them all holding hands saying "Let's destroy this person's life! Oh what fun!". We all know what happens when you maintain a lifestyle that is full of smoking and fattening foods. We get fat or unhealthy or maybe both.
I have decided at 40 I want to be healthy. I want to be energetic. I want to be fun. I want to be here for my children. I want to meet my grandchildren. I want to hike, camp, travel, run, and LIVE LIFE!
I began the Advocare 24-Day Challenge. I feel great. No smokes, soda or fatty foods. I am so excited about this new me! I also want to cuss myself out every time I look in the mirror, ya know, for going this long with a horrible lifestyle. Why did I wait until 40?
hugs,
Chandra
