A Month and Still Smoke-Free

I am still smoke free. I don't think I could smoke a cigarette now if I tried, being how sick I have been. I just got over a two- week bout with the flu and broncitis.

Not fun.

At all. OMG, I was out two days the 4th and 5th, off 6&7, back to work on the 8th with antibiotics, had taken the last of them and woke up Thursday morning to start it all over again. Worked all weekend into Sunday and went home an hour after I got there. Went home, curled up on my chaise lounge (that we'd just moved the furniture around when my second bout kicked in), I got up to use the bathroom. That was it. Mom took Shawn to work and Casey took a cab.

Long story short, I finally started to feel normal at the beginning of last week (weekend after Valentines Day).

Finally got grocery shopping caught up (went out and got groceries Wed when it was snowing, but we had no food, so I had no choice). Took care of bills. Started on the laundry...

my next goal? To start what I intended on starting when I got sick the first time. My menu. Routine planning. Everything.

So, God Bless, and enjoy your evening!

No Smoking: 1 WEEK TODAY

It has been one week today since I began the journey to quit smoking. I can tell you that in the course of the week I have been tempted several times, but, I am sticking to my guns. I have decided it's far worth eating more than being sick all the time like I was.

No Smoking: DAY 5

I thought I posted last night, but, I guess I didn't. No, I did not start smoking again. I have went almost a week without a cigarette and I am happily reaping the rewards!

I have decided for every day I go without a cigarette, I will do something or treat myself to something.

I have already noticed a difference in not only how I feel, but I can think more clearly now. That may not make sense to you but, for me it's almost like someone tore open the curtains and shed light on me. I can understand more logical things and I can comprehend better. I don't feel as stressed and rushed.

No Smoking: DAY 3

I figured I'd go ahead and post this while I can hold my eyes open.

Today was yet another sucessful smoke free day. Plenty of eating, too.

I have to say that I am counting calories, but that is to see how much I can eat in 24 hours!

Come on payday!

No Smoking: DAY 2

Another day, no cigarette! But, have I been eating plenty...hehehe!

I had a jelly filled honeybun for breakfast, a Hormel's Meatloaf meal and Chocolate Creme Dessert at lunchtime, when I got home, I made Roast Beef Hash and Scrambled Eggs, and now I'm eating a tuna sandwich (because I'm not full yet). I'll go finish off the rest of the tuna, and get something to drink and go to bed :)

No Smoking, DAY 1

I decided this morning, since I had my last cigarette last night, to not buy another pack and quit. Well, I bought a pack on the way home from work (no cigarettes all day :) ), but they were for my hubby.

So far, so good. I have to find other things to occupy me (more eating!), so I know our grocery bill will grow, but I am tired of being sick and haveing to wear layers of clothes to work because I go outside to smoke. NO MORE!

So, to help me keep track and to pin point weak spots, I have decided to journal everything. So, here's to healthy lungs and a bigger me!
