One Week

And still smoke free. I cannot believe it!

I do miss smoking. I don't know if that will ever stop missing it but I know that I cannot do it any longer if I want to keep my sweet (but difficult to buy for) size 14 feet.

The patch is my friend. I still have not ended up on any rooftops with an AK in hand. I am not feeling those moments of craziness I did going cold turkey. So great but please, continue to keep your fingers crossed, hands clasped, or whatever you do to send some positive energy my way. It is working! Thanks.

On the D front, I tried changing my site to my thigh. So great! I wish I would have checked that out sooner. I went swimming with my kids and the family today and my site was completely hidden under my trunks. I must admit, shaving the area was a little wierd but I figured I better so it would stick well and not hurt like H.E. double hockey sticks taking it off.

My exercise streak did not last. I stopped exercising this week. You are probably saying, "Why would you not exercise when you are quitting smoking!??!?!?!" Well, the main reason is that exercise is a total smoking trigger for me. After my work out, believe it or not, I would go outside, sit at my patio table and have a cigarette. Stupid I know but it was the routine. I went outside last Monday night and I felt the need and desire to smoke. I turned around, came back into the house and said, "Not yet. I'll go back to that next week." So now begins another attempt at exercising each night. I think I am ready for it and even if I am not, I am going to do it.

I have to.
