Before After

day 2 of not smoking...

day 2 of not smoking...
WOoooohooo this is great! No real big cravings, except for after dinner last night... That was a bit hard.  After we dropped off the BF's mom he steped outside the car and smoked a cigg..  I was going to kill him and he stunk SOOOOOOOOO bad when he got back in the car. YUCK!  But ever since the bf met me after work he only smoked that one cigg and that was it all night.. Soooo him stating that he was cutting down seems to be working.

I did notice yesterday when I got home and changed that the patch folded up on itself and only half of it was on my arm.  I'm not sure when that happened?  Biking to or from work... but either way I was only having half of the nicotine at that moment.  I ended up taking it off around 8 and being fine all the way up until I went to bed. I woke up this morning made coffee, got together my lunch, took a shower, even went on the computer and was not craving.  I put on the patch before I left my house.  So that alone.. being on the computer with coffee in my hand in the morning lol is a big accomplishment lol.  I think after day 4 I'm going to drop my nicotine dosage.  Right now I'm on a 21mg patch. on day 5 I'm going to drop it to the 14mg patch and see how I handle it. 

Enough of smoking.. Im just proud of myself..
I didn't bike in today,.. lol That seat hurt my butt!  It hurts to sit lolol tomorrow I'll try biking in again.  I tried to do my 2 mile walk today but as I was going my foot started acting up and I didn't want it to get worse again so I came back. I need to be in shape for softball friday!

Today I'm eating:

Banana
lettuce/tuna (no mayo) and cheddar cheese in a salad format (no dressing)
Orange
Strawberries
Apple Sauce
~*Dinner*~
Pork Chops
Broccali
(not sure what we are having for another side)

and of course 60 oz of water lol

Good for you

I quit smoking back in February for six weeks.  It was easier than I thought but I was fooled by that.  If you want to stay committed you must follow the program exctaly as they say so don't change your patch dosage.  That's important.  Also remember one cigarettes turns into smoking full time that is what happened to me.  So be careful.

I am glad you quit smoking I have set my second quit day for Memorial Day weekend.  Wish me luck !!

Good Luck to you.

Glad

Hi there,

I'm so glad you liked the Cardio Coach idea.  My friend Gettinfit told me about it!  If you ever get the chance read her blogs!!  She is a awesome person, and she was my very first friend here at EP.  She now has her own group called Bodyforlife.  You can find her under the groups.  She is not the other Gettinfit08.  Her name is Alicia and you could tell her I sent you over to her blogs to read.

Cold Turkey Stinkssssss.  I already went back to smoking.  I don't know what I am going to do other than just cut down on my own and maybe someday try to quit again.  I am so sick of trying.

Good Luck with the Patches they worked good for me while I was wearing them.  To bad we can't just always wear them and just not smoke!

Have a Great Day!!

Love, Laura.
