I’ve decided to finally take a serious crack at giving up smoking. I haven’t given it much effort at all since I started this blog–I focused on the other stuff so much.
But DH has stopped for more than a week now & I think it’s time for me to really get on board–like for more than just a day!!
I’ve been here before. Frustration, getting irritable at everything & everyone, getting that horrible edgy feeling . . . but it gets better with each day & by the end of a week or so, you feel much, much better.
Will I gain weight? I’ve got a bit of a plan this go round, so I hope I won’t gain more than 5 pounds. I’m still around 135-137 (never have met that 130 goal–sad). I’ve actually lost weight and stopped smoking once before–I just kept myself very busy & when I got antsy, I SLEPT!!!
So the weight isn’t the focus this week. I hope to be able to post on here in a week that I lost a whole bunch of cigarettes!! 
Giving Up February 28, 2009
Another quickie! February 16, 2009
Trucking through the grind . . . feeling that spring time energy so close! Took sun today & feel pretty good. Still hovering near the goal. Might break down & reach it one day soon!
Quick Update! February 8, 2009
Just trucking along through February, ready for winter to disappear! Still haven’t reached that goal of 130 yet–still staying fairly close to it, though. Winter just requires a few sweets to go with my coffee & staying indoors huddled under a blanket isn’t really conducive to exercise. But I plan to stay within 5 pounds of my goal, so when spring actually gets here & I’m no longer hibernating, I’ll be raring to go!
No More Plate! February 1, 2009
I’m really, really tired of posting the plate. I think it’s just run it’s course for me. I still keep track of what I eat, but the online posting thing has grown tiresome. So, I think I’ll post my skinnyr results every so often instead.
