Day 6 = Half way to work I realized....

UhOh! Ok, it was a way worse word that came to mind, I forgot to put on my patch! 

I'm happily excited that I actually got through my morning routine without thinking of or feeling a need for, a cigarette. That's cool, especially since my urges were so intense yesterday.

I'm very nervous about my emotions today. I am so unsure of my ability to do this. What if I freak out?  Can I do this without my crutch?  How strong am I?  More importantly, how weak am I? 

Time will tell.

Worst case scenario, I walk to a drug store at lunch and by whatever NRT they have.  With that realization I feel empowered and challenged. Maybe I can do this.... I think I can do this...I have to try to do this.  I am not positive I can go without nicotine yet but I am going to try!

I am from Maryland, born and raised. I have 3 children: 25, 13 & 12. They are my heart and spending as many healthy years with them as possible is the reason for my plan to quit smoking. I work full-time in advertising and have for 20+ years. I love cardio and lifting but have a few pounds to lose. I hate that I cannot keep up which is reason #2 for my wanting to make some major lifestyle changes. My long term goal is to be in the best shape of my life by my 50th birthday which is in 3 years.
