Cravings

Cravings for crap, grease, chocolate, salt, cigarettes.  BLEH.  Haven't caved yet, although, I did have two slices of pizza for dinner two nights in a row.

:)

CHOOSE WISELY.  dammit. 
:)

Happy Friday, ladies!

Choose Wisely

Life is a series of choices.  Choose wisely.

My sister's favorite saying.  Beginning to be one of my favorite as well.  More later perhaps, or perhaps not.  :)

GAIN!

"I got it honest."  What does that mean exactly?  Well, of the last 6 weeks, 3 were spent away from home eating total garbage. (read, i CHOSE to eat garbage, justified it, really, bad bad bad, there is NO justification for choosing poorly) I may see more, and if I do, "I got it honest."

Good to be home for a while.

Security codes

Security codes for commenting on folk's blogs is driving me NUTSO.  I basically can't comment on anyone's posts.

Ideas?  Cause I don't get it.

Day 5 - SSC

So, today is day 5, and (knock on wood) not smoking has been relatively easy, or course, this is in part due to a nasty cold I started feeling Thursday night of Day 1.  Being sick all weekend, the LAST thing on my mind was smoking.  I was coughing, sneezing, and aching enough I really didn't want one.

The thing I worry about the most is nicotine is an appetite suppressant, and while I still wear the patch, I'm sure it's suppressing my appetite, but what happens in 10 weeks when I stop?  Oh well, I shouldn't be worrying that far into the future!  Right?!?  One day at a time.  :)

Happy Monday, ladies!

Day 1 - Stop Smoking Campaign

So, today is the first day of the rest of my life - SMOKE FREE!  I'm doing it.  I don't care if the SO is doing it or not (although, he says he is, I'm not holding my breath, and I really need to give him space to do it).  But I REALLY need him to quit too, it'll be SO much easier not having our life revolve around smoking. 

Here are my reasons to quit smoking:

1.  My dad is entering the late stages of emphysema, and I do NOT want to be like him when I am his age (20 ish years to go)

2.  Save money - ($150 ish a month)

3.  Smell better

4.  Teeth look better

5.  Better heart/lung function

6.  Better breath

7.  Um... any other ideas?  :)

So, losing weight was easier with you folks, hopefully I can get some support with the no smoking thing.  :)

Happy Thursday!

Happy Hump Day, ladies!

GOAL!

Well, sorta.  I'm 149.7, but do I really intend to try to keep the 149.2?  No.  The goal was out of the 150's, and I have ACHIEVED the goal!  Now, to get to 140, or low 140's.

Tomorrow I am getting a new do, so I will post after pics!  :)  I have a LONG, rectangular face, so any suggestions would be appreciated!

I should be more ecstatic, but instead, I find myself wondering how in the world I wasted 39 years (ok,  more like, 20 years) fighting my weight constantly when it's really as simple as calories in vs calories out. 

This is what it took me 7 months to learn, but I believe, (and hope) I have.  I have never thought about food so much in my life.  I NEED to think about food.  I NEED to PLAN what I'm going to eat in EVERY situation.  And it's OK to eat pizza, two slices, and Chipotle, in moderation, and even ICE CREAM (in moderation). 

I need to pay attention to what I'm eating, CARE about what I'm eating/fueling my body with, FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.  And then, I will never have another weight problem.

Happy Friday, ladies!

6 or 15?

So, my original goal was 149.2 (1492 went with the columbus theme, and is a good number for someone that's 5'8"); however, I have been down to 140 (solid muscle running 5 miles a day and lifting 5 days a week).  I'm down to 155.8.  I want to go down to 140, but I want to go with "normal" food (sans JC).  I have about two weeks of JC food left in the freezer and I eat alot that isn't JC now, so it should last closer to a month.  AND!  I want to do this while I quit smoking.  Quit date is Saturday April 17, 2010 (i plan on sleeping that day and sunday).

So, stop at 149.2 or push on to 140?  What say you?

Setting a date

Ok, enough is enough.  Quit date for stop smoking.......  Grrrrr... Charlie won't quit.  I wish he would, we'd both be healthier.  How do I get someone to quit smoking when they don't want to?  :D

So, Saturday?  Friday?  Sunday?  bleh

Happy Hump Day Ladies!
