Goals

I have made a lot of goals for myself in this journey and I have achieved two of them and I am so pumped. I guess that is why its recommended to set goals, break them down so they are achievable and when you reach them you can celebrate and move on to the next one. my first weight loss goal was to be out of the 300's well I did it! my next one is to increase my exercise. we will see how that goes. sometimes I make a snap decision to do something and as I am pretty stubborn I stick to it. Last March I decided I was over the whole smoking thing and after over 30 years of smoking I quit. I used a devise called an inhaler for about a week then I was done. I can't say it was easy but it needed to be done and sometimes I miss it, but not enough to start again. And the emphysema diagnosis kinda helps me not go back. This week I decided to stop drinking Diet Coke. if you know me you know how huge this is. I stopped to think how long I have been drinking it and decided again it was time to pack it in. well the headaches have been incredible but i endured and they have calmed down a lot. I know that this is good and I will continue to stay away from both smokes and diet coke but it will be weird for everyone, my nephew once told me that he doesn't remember me ever not having a smoke or a diet coke in my hand, he is 37, so it was well past time.
