We Quit Cigarettes

[Kiki]

My 'coop' is cardboard and my run is step in electric fence posts and orange plastic construction fencing. No way I am gonna enter that, but will save it for the worst coop contest!!

Shizzle sticks.
I should have started this one already.
I just haven't been able to. I will soon.

At first I thought I'd never make 10,000 steps in a day, but I did start thinking about it. The first day, first FB, we went to dinner at some relatives' rented holiday cabin. I walked around the campground while DH & his sister caught up. I didn't want to spoil all my exercise so I had only a hamburger, no bun & sides instead of a hot dog, generous servings of everything as most others were doing. Next day I got the 10K steps. It was easy! And it seemed to reduce my appetite.

I logged my food on the Fitbit ap too (obsessively). I later switched to My Fitness Pal. It's easy to out-eat any amount of exercise, so if you love eating as I do, it's super important to log EVERYTHING you eat. If you carry around a smart-phone, this is easy. MFP is very popular and most restaurant dishes are loggable on it. It integrates easily with the Fitbit ap.

I lost a good amount of weight in a week (common and most likely water weight. I knew this, but I allowed it to encourage me anyway.) I was so excited. I just couldn't stop. It was great. I NEVER could do that, never ever before. It has absolutely changed my life. I'm so much healthier now. Come and join us!

I love you Cindy.

A friend I hadn't seen in about 10 years came over today. He was trying to get me to smoke some weed for old times' sake... not even a temptation for me anymore. But when he stepped outside to light a cigarette, it sparked an urge in me. I kept my mouth shut and overcame the temptation. It was hard, but I've made it this far already.

I should confess....
I did take one puff off of Js cigg the other day.
But I didn't like it much!! That made me happy.
Now...i could have easily kept going till I liked it. But.. I didn't wanna. I wanted to not like it.
