1.7.08 & 1.8.08
Ugh, what a day.
I’m surprised I still have hair in my head…no really. Can we say I was just a bit stressed out today? Nope…not at all. (Have I mentioned that facetious cynical bitch is my middle name?) =)
Day 7 without a cigarette. Yes my friends, I made it through the weekend. That also include day 7 without coffee, or booze. I think a ticker tape parade is in order, don’t you?
The weight…well, that’s another story. Saturday was 263. Sunday was 264.3. And today…266 even. Why, you ask? Fuck if I know. (Pardon my less than tactful language today…that’s just the kind of mood I’m in.) I didn’t eat horribly over the weekend. No pizza…no hot dogs…only a few cookies here and there. All in all, I’d say I ate at about 80% this weekend. (Hell, I even got the bf to come WORKOUT WITH ME Saturday morning. It was funny…we were on the treadmills at the rec…and I glanced at his heart rate…and saw that it said something insane like 180. He’s about 6′1 and somewhere around 285ish…I’m guessing. I look over at him and tell him to slow down a bit…that his heartrate was a little too high. (Of course he has his headphones on as well…so when he answers me…he’s basically just yelling.) He looks over at me and says, “Why…do you think I’m going to have a grabber?” Oh cynical bf…how I do love thee.

Sorry folks…I never got a chance to finish yesterday’s entry. Work was insanely hectic…and now that I don’t smoke…I rarely use my computer in the basement…so most of my computing needs now happen at work, or from my bed. (Kinky, eh?)
We’re now at day 8 of not smoking. It’s weird…I really want to smoke…like really want to. But at the same time, I have like zero desire to fail on myself. I’ve never been this strict with anything in my life…especially dieting. I wonder why I’m so adament about not screwing this up? (Probably because I know how truly bad it is for you…and despite how I may slip with food and exercise…smoking is so much more deadly.) Will I go for the rest of my life without at least one more cigarette? Who knows. But…I’ve made it through 8 days now…let’s try for 8 more.
I didn’t make it into the rec this morning…for whatever reason, I just couldn’t stop hitting the snooze…so I ended up sleeping until 7:30. Oh well. On days like that, which are rare, I just let myself sleep. My body is obviously trying to tell me something….so I go with it. I may try and go tonight, but I doubt it. To be honest, there are some things I’d like to get done around the house…as well as finish a book I started last night.
Today’s weigh in…265.6. I don’t know what’s going on. Up down up down. Who knows.
Sorry for the half-assed entry people…my brain is nowhere to be found lately.

Day 8 That is absolutely fantastic! As for being tired that is actually normal when you are trying to stop smoking. Do a look up on Vitamins you need when you stop. Thats why you are tired. So find out which vitamins you need to help you along!!
You are doing a great job!!!!!! I am a major pain when I don’t get my morning cup of coffee, so I can’t even imagine what you are going through!!! HANG IN THERE–it will be worth it. Stay strong!!! Good luck!
