Nervously looking forward!
I haven't smoked for over a month now. The physical cravings aren't as bad but I still find it wierd to be in a situation where I would have smoked not to.
Dad came up with the goods of his bribe and I've ordered a new recumbent bike that will be the 7th one of the same model that I've had in 4 years! This time I will keep it I'm certain of that.
I've done a few rides so far this month, not long ones, and it's hard to just make the first move of getting on the trike or bike. After that it's just the "Out of shape" problems and that should change over time.
In the early days after the accident I always managed to see the positive side of things but, this past year or so, it has been the other way round. I can remember being pleased when I first managed to take the dogs for a short walk rather than moaning about how I couldn't walk far. I am trying to get back into that frame of mind now so I might not do a lot but it is a lot more than was expected of me 11 years ago and it still is in some ways miraculous what I CAN do.
I have to concentrate on the things I can do rather than dwell on what I've lost so from now on I am looking onwards and upwards.
