Well, I finally decided it's time to get off of my duff and start shedding the pounds. I'm not happy that I gained back all of the weight I lost since I got down to 170 in 2007. I want my energy back. I miss the feeling of running whenever I wanted, never having heartburn, and my knees not hurting. So, this time I'm giving myself an incentive that I think will do the trick. I've decided to not allow myself to smoke another cigar until I lose 25 lbs. Then I can smoke one, but after it's done it'll be back on the wagon for another 25 lbs. I'm going to do that hopefully 4 times and then I'll be around 175 (currently I'm just under 276).
Today I smoked the last stick that was in my humi, an El Baton 6x60. It was damn good, too.
That will probably be the one I choose 25 pounds from now.
I'm doing my best to avoid soda of any kind too. I went 30 days without any, then this past week I had a few but nowhere near the level I was drinking them before.
So, here goes. Good luck to all who are already on this road, and I hope to catch up at some point.
