How I did it
How to quit Smoking
It took me
3 months
It made me
it is what it is.

How I did it: Well, it started with being sick with the flu for a week. After, I didn't feel like smoking. This has been exactly a month ago now. I will be honest and have slipped up a few times but I haven't bought a pack since the 2nd week of October! While a lot of my friends are smokers, I've been trying to hang out with non-smokers more, especially when drinking since that's when the cravings are worse!Going to the gym really helped me to cut back… Read how I did it…

How to 12 minute mile
It took me
7 weeks
It made me
proud!

How I did it: Today I DID walk into the gym wanting to accomplish this goal. Surely I could shave off 19 seconds (yesterday's time: 12:19) but my knee was feeling a little tender and in the 2nd lap I started to get a cramp. But I kept at it, cranked up my speed more and in the last lap, tried hard to focus on the rhythm of my breath and my feet. I cranked up the speed a bit more and... 11:30!!! 30 seconds better than my goal!!Again, who knew??? The ant… Read how I did it…

How to run a mile without stopping
It took me
6 weeks
It made me
smile and sweat!!

How I did it: I didn't start the day thinking 'today will be the day...' especially since I'm just getting back into the swing of things at the gym since my illness but I knew I wanted to run it out. Never in my life would I have dreamed I could run a mile. Wow!Instead of starting with my usual brisk-walk warm-up, I decided to start with a light jog. I was surprised when 3 minutes in I was nearly done with a lap and wasn't even out of breathe.I upped m… Read how I did it…

cancel my gym membership
I am NOT stoked about this. 4 days ago

I like my gym. I like working out with my gym buddy. I like seeing familiar faces in the gym, both staff and members. But it is what it is. Too bad I have 6 weeks paid up that I won’t be using. =(

I guess it’ll be an easy cancellation, though. Just have to fax a letter in.

Make sure I always have something to look forward to. (read all 2 entries…)
Better than nothing. 6 days ago

Since I am having such a hard time finding ANYTHING to look forward to, I’m going to make myself compile a list of at least 10 things.

1. Hanging out with my parents in person.
2. Having g-ma teach me to paint.
3. Having g-ma teach me to sew.
4. Being near Michelle & her ever-growing family.
5. Sunday dinner (even if I’m the one who makes it happen).
6. Not feeling so…far.
7. Being closer to K (yes, I have to admit it)
8. Changing gears for a while, focusing on school & health.
9. Hopefully inspiring my sister and g-ma to be healthier.
10. Hugs.
