I find it very helpful to use the nutrition tracking tools on SparkPeople.com. I seem to make bad choices if I don't plan ahead. I also make better eating choices if I do my workout in the morning. I feel like if I have got my workout in I don't want what I have eaten that day to mess up all the hard work that morning.
I am a smoker and have to stop this habit as well. When working out I can hardly breathe because of my smoking habit. Shoot even when I am not working out I can hardly breathe in the morning. I am fearful of trying to quit. In the past I have subsituted food for cigarettes.
In the past I quit smoking successfully for 2 years. When I quit I gained 25lbs. It didn't really bother me at the time, I was so focused on quiting that the side effect of weight gain didn't concern me. Of course even after putting on the 25lbs I didn't weigh as much as I do know. I know you are probably asking your self why after not smoking for 2 years did I start again. I wrongly thought just having 1 cigarette out with friends at a club wouldn't be enought to get me hooked again. I didn't realize it is like an acholoic, you can never have even 1 puff or you are hooked again. I wish I had realized this! No one to blame but myself.
