Feeling a little weary...
I was very tired when I first quit smoking. I wonder after smoking for a few days if it's having the same affect. I don't know but I sure could use a nap.
I had one piece of nico gum today but I really don't like it. I think I'll only use it in an extreme emergency. It actually makes me a little nauseous.
I'm still not smoking though and I don't want one. I hope I don't slip every few weeks, that would not be good.
I have a lot of throat clearing and a bit of a headache today. Did I mention that I need a nap? : )
My eating is going so so. Yesterday I had a really good diet day but then I couldn't sleep and I got up and had cookies and milk. I went back to bed and slept like a baby. So you can see how hard it is to fight eating at night. Most times it puts me right to sleep and at the time that's all I care about, sleep!
Today I brought healthy food to work. I had a cup of kashi with a handful of blueberries for breakfast, a half of a turkey sandwich and 1 yogurt for lunch and a plum. That would have been really good had I not bought 2 bags of chips from the vending machine sometime after lunch. It's so much harder for me when I'm tired.
I'm sooooooo glad I'm not smoking though. I think if I was going to smoke again this last slip would have done me in. I think it would be easier if my husband didn't smoke of course because I really don't think I would have run to the store for a pack of cigarettes during that last episode. Hopefully some day he will quit.
I don't know how to count my quit. They really focus on that at the group that I haven't been to in 3 weeks. They probably think I started smoking again. Anyway, it's going on 7 weeks from when I first quit. Do I start all over? If we're on a diet and have been doing great for 6 weeks and we eat a whole cake all by ourselves does that diet start over or do we just throw up and move on? I say throw up and move on!
I'm moving on...I'm much happier when I'm not smoking and I'm obnoxiously happy when I'm exercising. So what's the freakin problem girl. Step away from the cigarettes and get my fat ass on the treadmill! Not tonight though 'cause I'm really tired. : ) I'll do it tomorrow I promise.

Tammy,
I have been reading your and Ellen's blogs everyday. Congrats on being a "quitter" again. I'm dealing with the weight gain and stress right now. I lost 25lbs since March and put 5 back on. I need to drop 10 before March 2006. Sounds easy, but it is not. I'm so sick of dieting.
There are so many times I want a smoke. I don't know what stops me from getting one. I really like not worrying if I have enough to get me through; the night, the morning, lunch, car ride home etc....you know the drill. My car smells so much nicer now too. I must give you huge kudo's on not smoking when you have a husband who smokes. If my husband smoked I don't think I could of quit. Exercise might help you too. I'm into running right now and I keep waiting for it to get easier on my lungs. Not sure when that will happen.
good luck
I have a nicotine withdrawl site. It pretty much covers nicotine withdrawl related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get time :-)
I read your "blog" as often as i can its like setting down with a cup of coffee and talking to you :)
I miss you!!!!
Tammy...glad to hear you are back on track. But where are you this week? Hope all is well with you and your quit. I'll be blogging here in a minute. I've been away for an entire week-Greg's mom passed away on Saturday. Let us know how you are doing!
Ellen
