I've come to dread this day. How bad is that. But I'm back on track today. I've made up my mind. My crazy need to snack is coming to an end today. I have a nice salad for lunch with some grilled chicken, some pineapple and some other fruit out of my fridge. I haven't decided yet.
Other news...
44 days smoke free.
Cigarettes NOT smoked = 654
Money saved = $181.50 - I've been slacking about paying myself. But I DID buy some fabric so I think that counts.
But I do have a confession... I caved. The urge was way big. I snuck a cigarette from my mom on Saturday (SO high school!) and lit up on my way to my haircut appointment. Can I say, I'm not missing anything? I didn't enjoy it one bit. Even felt weird smoking. I didn't even smoke the whole thing. So, I'm done. My urge is gone and I'm over it. Moving along...
Had a very nice weekend. Saturday was spent running errands but Amelia had a great day at my mom's. We had summer-like temps here so she had a ball running around and playing with the garden hose. Yesterday, Chris and I spent the morning mulching the garden. That chore is done and I'm happy. Looks great! 4 1/2 yards of mulch later, it better!
So, that's it. I need to get my lunch together and think about getting ready for work. I love having a flexible job where I can work from home or go the office. Today, I'm doing a little bit of both.
Have a great day!

You're going in the right direction Jen! Next time you'll know that the temptation wasn't worth it! I need to remember that the diet is a food choice everyday. Like smoking. Basically-forever!
ReplyDeleteI quit smoking in 1982.. it is one amazing addiction. I am proud of you quiting smoking and a diet aat the same time. Remember in weight watcher, vegetables are free.... I guess that would be points..so I keep celery sticks and those veges low in natural sugar available, to get me through the cravings, also 15 almonds..(south beach diet). Little things make a big difference I found. You are doing great!!
ReplyDeleteGood Job!
ReplyDeleteCan you pass some of that no snacking to me....uggh. Keep up the great job of not smoking. You can do it.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the day I dread, it's the truth that gets me down haha. I totally understand the crazy snacking thing because it's been happening to me, too. So frustrating ~ I eat well for breakfast and lunch but when I get home from work I seem to want to eat everything in the cupboards. Congrats on the 44 days. You are doing so well. The little "slip up" doesn't even count!!!
ReplyDeleteYour doing great Jen. We're so proud of you. And you'll get back on track with the weight loss. Just the smoking part is hard let alone trying to do both at the same time. Heck I cant even manage one thing. lolol And good for you admitting that you snuck that cigarette. And I'm glad to hear that it wasnt good. Now dont do that again!!! Are you listening young lady???? :-)
ReplyDeletegreat job on smoking! it's so true when it's been a while and you have a cig you realize how gross it is. snacking is so hard to stop doing! just make sure it's something healthy (also hard to do!). it'll definitely take some serious effort, but in the end it will be totally worth it, right? right.
ReplyDeleteWow -- by now it should be 46 days smoke free. WooHoo!!! Congratulations!!!
