But I'm not out. Another week gone. Another pound up. But I know the reason. I am starting day 9 of my non-smoking quest. You heard me right. It has been 9 days since my last cigarette. I'm pretty proud of myself and what willpower I had yesterday! Amelia spent the weekend at my mom's and my mom drove her home. My mom and I were chit-chatting and she says to me "Let's go outside and smoke a cigarette." I said "You are on your own. I QUIT!" She is really proud of me but sad that she lost her smoking buddy. Oh well. She's trying to quit as well but not being too successful at it. But I will tell you, I wanted that smoke. Not a lot, just a puff. But I worked through it. And today is a new day.
Fruit recipe... I forgot to mention mine. I really don't have one. I eat fruit everyday. Whatever I find in the grocery store and at a decent price. Right now I'm snacking on grapes. What I have issues with is veggies. I'm very picky with the vegetables. I don't like any veggies that are green in color. I find them tasteless. I need to get better at eat them.
My weight is slowly going in the wrong direction so I need to pay more attention to that department. I'll get it. It's all about balance I guess. I need to train myself that just because I'm not smoking doesn't mean I get to eat everything in sight. That whole "eating for 2" myth... yeah, I fell into that trap too!
And how was your weekend? Mine was nice, even though I am nursing a cold. Since I was free all weekend, I spent most of it sewing. Saturday, I went to my friend's house and she taught me a very cute tote bag pattern that she took a class for a while back. I was there for a while. I think about 6 hours. Yesterday - I slept in some, did a little light cleaning and spent the rest of my day in front of the sewing machine. I worked more on the tote bag (I think a couple more hours and I'll have it all put together) and I worked on the fabric Easter baskets. Those came out cute. One more to do and I'll take their picture.
That's about it.
Enjoy your day!

ReplyDeleteJen your doing great. Just concentrate on the no smoking part. Dont get frustrated with the weight loss part. It's better to be healthy and not smoke. The weight loss will come. I'm very proud of you.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on nine days! Only one at a time. You are doing great.
ReplyDeleteI totally know how you feel about the weight thing. I have been really working hard to loose 15 pounds by May 12th, so far in a months time I have lost 3! I know it is progress but so discouraging...I am trying not to be discouraged, you are very positive about it..at least I am not gaining! You are so brave and good about your smoking, I understand that is a really hard one! You inspire me! Keep it up! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on nine days of not smoking. You are taking such good care of yourself! Not to mention setting a healthy example for Punkie. Good for you for not giving in to a smoke with your mom-- that must have been hard.
ReplyDeleteA BIG SUCCESS...I say! And think how easy it would have been to bum one off your mom??? Good for you!
ReplyDeleteYipee -- congrats on the not smoking! I wish I had that kind of willpower when it comes to eating!
