Day 2--harder than i thought..

its Day 2:

last night was the worst night of "sleep" i've ever got. I was tossing, and turning, itching, and i had this urge to kick my legs (as if i was a toddler on the floor throwing a hissy-fit). I eventually switched from sleeping the bedroom to sleeping on the couch. I was so frustrated that I went to bed at 1am, and at 4am, i was still awake. I started to punch my pillows, that actually helped!!

after that, i slept pretty good. but it took a few hours. (i slept in till 11am).

Today is going by SOOOOOOOOOO SLOWWWWWWWWWW ...arghhhhhh :( I can feel the minutes just slowly creeping by.....1 min............1 min and 2 seconds............1 min and 5 seconds......DOH!!!!!!!! This is going to be a longggg fucking day!

Im still seriously considering having a cig. or just a "puff".....but i dont wanna waste all my hard work up to this point:

*1 day, 13 hours, 27 minutes and 5 seconds smoke free.
*47 cigarettes not smoked.
*$5.25 saved
*8 hours of your life saved.

(thats from that Quitnet.com site)

And i know that just ONE HIT will make my cravings so much more worse.

*stops typing and goes outside on patio*

OKay, i just spent a few minutes on my patio, taking DEEP breathes of clean, fresh air, and ex-haling the same way i used to exhale smoke, to give me the feeling as if i was smoking. But i never did :)

You know what amazes me? My senese of smell! I got it back! lol I can smell fresh grass, even fresh RAIN!!! i can smell everything now. and my taste buds are going wild. they are exploding with new tastes. Now i know how people who stop smoking, gain weight LOL

So, i'm going to workout at my gym, 5 days a week (like i started to do), and just keep losing weight and being smoke free. And since i just saved myself $140 a month, the gym's $50 membership fee doesnt seem so pricey anymore!

I think with me quitting smoking, and working out at the gym 5 days a week, im going to become a BRAND NEW PERSON!!!!!!!! Im going to look good, feel great, be in my BEST HEALTH EVER, and im going to smell so much better lol (well, maybe not as im working out :P hahaha).

A brand new me, HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
