Today is Thursday, July 25th. My last cigarette was on Saturday, July 13th at 5:15pm. Whew! Been thinking about smoking every day, which sucks, I thought by now it would be out of my mind. Actually, I wish it could be out of my mind but I know that I could spend every day for the rest of my life thinking about smoking. So, WOO HOO! I haven't worked since last Wednesday (took a much needed stay-cation to clean/purge my storage room & basement). Back to work tomorrow and Saturday. I can do it. I can do it. I think I can.
Exercise, eating healthy. Not really much of a winner in those categories in the last 12 days. During my purging of material things, I went through 3 suitcases full of clothes I have been hanging on to since college. A few items were actually from highschool! Well, I donated most of it. I did keep my blue Express pants and blue sweater, size 8 & Medium respectively. This outfit was part of my most memorable, favorite Halloween costume: Chicken Cordon Blue. I wore all blue with a rubber chicken tied to a bungee cord around my waist as a belt. That is the kind of person I am. Hopefully I can relive my glory days on a Halloween in the near future!
Now I realistically know Halloween 2013 is not an option. Unless I was kidnapped and forced into a boot camp weight loss liposuction starvation clinic. Do those exist??? Could I voluntarily enlist for an 8 week program? So craziness aside, let us think positively. Tomorrow I work 8 to 6pm. I can have a whole grain waffle for breakfast, a yogurt mid-morning at work, a frozen meal for lunch, and whatever my husband makes for supper. Drink water all day long. If needed, consume a handful of almonds and fresh fruit in the afternoon. Maybe fit in a 20 minute high intensity interval training (HIIT) workout after work. If only I could do this for 90 days in a row...I think I would start doing it out of routine. Add in my tobacco sobriety, and I'm bound to be a sexy mama with long,wavy blonde hair in no time!
Bah Humbug.
Thus ends day 12. Day 13 will hopefully be Day 1 for turning my health around. Hey, if I ever fit back into my blue outfit AND look good wearing it, I'll post a picture!
Sue, too negative to weigh.
