In my last post I shared that my partner was a bit grumpy due to trying to quit smoking. Grumpy is not the word for it, but I don’t guess I’ll share the word that comes to mind here – in case she decides to check out my blog! However, I think it is safe to say that I do think it’s getting old and wearing thin! I know the cigarette thing is hard to kick. I kicked myself over 20 years ago. So I am trying to be patient and understanding and everything – but man is she getting my goat!
What she isn’t getting is that I’m a bit irritable too what with trying to exercise and stop eating junk food and all. She of course thinks she has it worse – but Dante’s hell is still hell for the individual and I’m not on a picnic with her either!
Okay. My rant is out of the way, (I think) and I can get on to the business at hand. I still don’t seem to have lost any weight, but I am feeling better. I’ve been trying to get a decent night’s sleep and trying to drink more water. I still have a long way to go on that note, but I am drinking more than I have ever. (It’s just not my thing!)
I know that exercise won’t make much of a difference until I can get my heart rate up for extended periods of time and I’m still working myself up to the “extended” part. But I am exercising and haven’t given up yet! Onward, and well, downward!
