Its has now been 80+ hours since my last cigarette. This weekend was tough. I had to keep myself as busy as possible to keep from getting board and craving a cigarette. Ended up taking Diesel out for a couple of walks down to west beach to check out the AVP tour that was in town. Last night at midnight, my roommate smoked his last cigarette. It is going to be an interesting week.
Prison Break is on tonight and only 2 more weeks till the season premiere of Heros. I can’t wait.
It has been 17 hours since my last cigarette. I smoked my last one yesterday at 10pm. It has been a little tough today to get out of the usual routine, but so far I am holding strong. I’ve substituted chewing gum and snacking on trail mix instead of the cigarette. It has also been 4 days since I have had a soda. I used to drink anywhere from 2-5 Cokes a day. Now it’s just apple juice, grape juice or a snapple and my morning Red Bull.
With all the money I am going to save, I have decided to start a boat fund. Every time I would buy smokes I will put that money in a jar instead. Hopefully by the beginning of next summer I will have enough to buy a nice 19ft jet boat.
I have decided it is time to focus on my body and starting to take care of it. After this pack of cigarettes, only 8 left as of this post, I am attempting to quit cold turkey. I have done it before and it lasted for about 9 months. Then my divorce caused me to start smoking again. I don’t even enjoy it. Smoking is more of a time waster, something to pass by a few minutes when your bored or need a break. I have been smoking for 10 years now and am up to almost a pack a day.
I have also decided that I am going to try and gain at least 20 pounds by the end of the year. Instead of eating fast food everyday, I am now trying to cook healthier weight gaining meals. I have been browsing Craigslist to see if there are any free or cheap weight bench’s out there. Already have a set of dumbells and my arms are sore from working out the other night. Sore to the point where I can’t extend my left arm all the way straight. I hope I didn’t pull a muscle.
