So, today is officially the first full month of not smoking. Feels great knowing that I’m on my way to another year of not smoking, but I hope this is “it”, once and for all!

Since I quit smoking, I decided it was time to start getting back into shape. I miss being in good shape… I started getting there before the end of last summer, but then I stopped for stupid reasons, including picking up smoking.

My eating habits became crappy, started drinking, stopped working out.

Now, I’m eating extremely healthy lately, with 1-3 “cheat” meals a month… depending on how I feel about my progress. I’m doing cardio every day, lifting every other day and trying my best to keep sane.

Unfortunately, I’ve become mentally drained over the past month… I put all of my energy into my morning workouts (yes, I drink a recovery drink), focus on working on my campaigns over the next few hours but it seems like things just are not getting done…

Lately, I’ve HAD to start taking afternoon naps. Lucky me…yeah, yeah. I honestly wish I didn’t have to.

When I was smoking, I didn’t have to worry about crashing midway through the day… not to mention the fact that I was amped up on Soda/Coca-Cola all day (sorry, didn’t want to use the word “coke” and give anyone the wrong impression ;-)).

I’m pushing forward, though. My goal is to get into the best shape of my life before my next Birthday, which is on July 1st. Should be hard… but, I’m going to make it happen. I’m 2 weeks into Precision nutrition and cardio, and 1 week into Weight Training, so that makes it a total of 3 months.

Unfortunately, it’s killing my work time by not having as much energy.

Stupid cigarettes…
