Stop Smoking Today

Well, I’m finding it tough going – while I know that having a cigarette won’t make me feel better, as is often the case you imagine things being nicer than they are.  Given that I am eating an enormous amount of food at the moment I’ve decided to undertake an emergency health regime.  I’ve joined a health club against my better judgement as I’ve usually not had the discipline to keep going – but I guess I might as well replace something I thought I enjoyed with something I’m sure I don’t enjoy in the hope that I could come out of it a health freak … we shall see.  I attempted my first run, and I was shocked at the state of my fitness – it seems the dcombination of smoking and a sedentary lifestyle has put my heart into hibernation.   It was a dreadful feeling being so short of breath after so little excercise, but I’m going to persevere.  I also found a great site about various aspects of self improvement – in this case an article on self discipline.  I was so inspired by it – I put on my trainers and went for a run (ok it was less than a mile), but the point is you need to inspire yourself into action.
