Not a New Years resolution...

I fell off the low carb wagon between thanksgiving and New Years and I gained 8 of the 27lbs back. I started back up Saturday and I already feel tons better. But I've also decided to cut back the alcohol to just a drink or two on a Saturday night...and...this is the hardest...no more smoking. Got the patch and slapped it on yesterday. Only 1 yesterday and 1 today, which for me, a 20 year over half a pack a day smoker, is good progress. But man it's a lot all at once lol. My body is like what the heck are you doing woman!?
This is not something I'm doing for the new year, I just need to get healthy. Im overweight, I smoke and I drink. Not getting any younger here! Wish me luck!!

Anna are you my twin? This sounds exactly like me. I stopped smoking 01/04/2016, Went to the Dr. in late December, was told I'm on the verge being diabetic, therefore I'm on a weight loss journey.
In June I had stopped smoking, stopped drinking, lost weight and was feeling good. After July 4th I let the summer time blues get to me and picked it all back up.
I wish you luck!!!
