I'm on day 3. This morning I woke up absolutely miserable. It doesn't help that all 3 of my kids are fighting horrible allergies, and my 1 1/2 yr old has a severe ear infection, sore throat, and nasty cold with fever. She doesn't do well with oral antibiotics, so they gave her shots instead.
So I woke with instant cravings. Was all ready to pack the kids up first thing this morning to go to the gas station and pick up a pack. But I weighed the pros and cons. I don't want to have to say "made it to day 3 AGAIN, but no farther" again. I'm tired of being unsuccessful. Also I am trying to begin running/jogging on my treadmill. I want to do a 5k. I can't run more than 5 minutes at a time currently, so that goal is helping me over these intense cravings also. I should have known they would be hitting me since the first 2 days weren't that bad. So today I will just keep my guard up and expect these horrible buggars! Don't let anyone fool you that cravings aren't that bad. I suppose some maybe aren't too bad, but these SUCK! If I lose sight of my goals I know I'm toast.
I'm off to make breakfast for my hungry lil ones and drink some coffee and cranberry juice (listening to Joel Spitz's advice). Have a great day everyone, and don't give up on your quits!!
