Day 49 - wow time goes fast!.....

Happy Sunday everyone! 

Today marks Day 49 for me. I've caught some nasty bug that has put me down most of the week...luckily I have tomorrow off to recoup. An extra day this weekend is just what I've needed.

I haven't really had any cravings in the last couple of days. I do think about summer sometimes. I always smoked more in the summer.... a glass of white wine and a smoke outside in the sunshine. More outdoor parties and bbqs.  You know what though, I don't smoke and every day I'm protecting my quit and instead of smoking at outdoor parties this summer, I want to wake up early and roll out of bed rested and healthy and go for a run. That's what I want and that's what I shall have!

Doing a weight loss competition with some girls from work.  It's coming off slowly. The couch to 5k doesnt start til February... 

I am getting ready for my daughter's 11th birthday/slumber party next weekend. She wants a taco bar and a cake shaped like a music note. She is in that "tween" stage so she still kinda likes me but the eye rolling is starting...lol... I know she'll come back around when she's like 22!

I hope all of you are doing well. I hope you are smoke free or planning your escape from nicotine prison! The escape is just the start. It is like being in prison when you are smoking. Once you escape you truly realize how much living you let pass you by while you were smoking or planning to smoke!

I am partying tomorrow, well, if you call buying something nice for myself and having a nice dinner with family because tomorrow is DAY 50! That's huge. I think about the money I've saved. I think about how much prettier my lungs must look and I think about how my skin is starting to look better.... all such good things! 

Thanks for reading 🙂

Congratulations on day 50 tomorrow.  That IS HUGE!!!!  So sorry you have caught a bug. Take care of yourself, there are 4 different flu viruses going around.  So everyone wash your hands, wash your hands and wash your hands.

Keep up the good work.  I know what you are saying about this summer I have thought the same thing.  Sitting out on the deck in the sun with a glass of wine and I would always smoke.  Now it will be just enjoying the "real taste of wine" because our tastebuds have healed. 

I have noticed my skin looks so much better. I thought I was crazy until my daughter asked if I changed makeup because my face looked cleaner. ha nope just not blotchy anymore because I am not smoking.

50 days is such a huge landmark in your journey.  You will be so strong on your smoke free living by summer that you will have no problem what so ever. If nicodemons would show up at your BBQ, just say ,poof you're gone"
