Wii Fit

Well, I finally found one yesterday and I LOVE it! I got it all set up yesterday afternoon and did a small workout. Thinking I had done wonderfully yesterday I was a bit put off when I got on this morning and it told me I had gained 1.1 pound. I ate nothing but salad yesterday! That is one thing Im not sure I like is that it checks your weight daily. I will have to see if I can work around that. Anyway, today I did a full round of Yoga, strength training and aerobics. Man am I tired! LOL I had my slim fast shake for breakfast and a lean pocket with a glass of V8 Fushion for lunch. I plan on doing some tennis later, or maybe just some of the balance games.

On the smoking side...Im not doing well at all. I made the difficult call to the Dr. this morning asking for help. I am waiting for a call back to see if he will put me on something without seeing me. The roads and weather are just terrible, so driving the 4 hours to see him isnt going to work right now. If he cant do it without seeing me I will ask his advice on something OTC. I need to do this. I want to do this. I just need some help, and so far Im not finding it.

So, I guess its back to my laundry and wait for the phone to ring ;)

Good Morning

Well, its been cold here! Last night was -22 below and night bfore was -30 below. As you can see, we are all looking for those warm and cozy spots! I dont know what she is going to do when I do the laundry LOL

I listened to my hypnosis thing last night before I went to sleep. Im not sure, but I think it might work. I have smoked today, but there is less of a compulsion, and the cigs dont taste the same. So I am hopeful. I am suppose to listen everyday for 2 weeks. Longer if I need it. I hope it works!!

I have been playing my Wii Tennis everyday and I really like it. Im getting pretty good too, if I do say so myself! I havent lost any weight yet, so I really need to kick start the old diet again. Now if I could just find a Wii Fit ( I actually have found a few online but the are almost $200!!) I will be all set.

-30 below

Yep! It is -30 below here this morning. Our first subzero temps of the new year. Im am not sure if Im happy about it or not LOL 

I downloaded a self hypnosis CD from iTune yesterday and have been listening to it. So far it isnt doing much but relaxing me. I still want to smoke and I do :( I know I can do this. I just have to convince that little part of my brain that I can. It doesnt want to listen LOL

I hope you all are having a safe and warm day. :) Im trying to talk the Godsband into going to town. Problem is, we have no real reason to go. I just want to LOL So, we probably wont LOL

Day 3 into 2009

So, Ive been 40 for 3 days. Its not so bad! Wonder what I was having such a fit about? LOL Except for the sensation of my skin peeling off when I tried the cold turkey quit, its actually been very peaceful ;)

I have a friend that is sending me some subliminal MP3s to quit smoking. I like this idea! Im really not wanting to go on more meds, especially after the horrible experience we just went through trying to get me off the Celexa because of side effects. My head still has the zings and its been 4 weeks! Dont want to do that again! So Im kind of turned off of meds at the moment. Subliminal works for me! Well, I hope! LOL 

I will keep you all posted!!

Day 1 a bust

So, I caved. This is a lot harder than I remember it being last time! The Godsband and I have decided Monday Morning we will be calling the Dr. to get me some help. If I ever get quit again I will NOT make the mistake of thinking I can smoke just 1. This is awful! Now on top of it all I feel like a failure. :(

Day 1....Withdrawal sucks!

I have been without a cigarette for almost 14 hours. Ok, so I was asleep for 9 of those, but still. Im really starting to feel it. My eyes feel like they are bugging out, my ears feel strange, Im having a hard time swallowing. 

I WANT A CIGARETTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, that helped a little. LOL Man this is going to be a long day. I keep telling myself if I can just make it through today I will be fine.....

Birthday Gifts

Some of you may remember that I collect Cabbage Patch Kids. This is my newest one that the Godsband got me for my birthday. Bethany Grace. I just love her. I also got a very pretty pink iHome, and some wonderful pics of my nephews. 

The Godsband and I tried, but didnt make it until midnight last night. Neither of us slept the night before so we were pooped. Thats ok. The new year came in anyway. It didnt need our help. LOL I hope you all stayed safe and enjoyed bringing in the New Year!
