Well I didn't and haven't had even one fall down since I last wrote. I have been angelic good girl, well, at least in the cigarette smoking sector anyhow.
I promised myself a new mobile phone if I managed a month without cigarettes so I ordered my new singing and dancing Samsung Galaxy S3 today and should have it in my less yellow fingertips tomorrow, can't wait!!! It is like Christmas for me. So just a note to friends, if you get umpteen pointless text messages from me in the next few days, this is why :)
I had amazing holiday in Finland which included cuddling cute babies, riding a stallion, being nearly hit by lightning, swimming 10 times, barbecuing 5 times, sitting by campfire 3 times, getting far too drunk twice, going to sauna 5 times, shopping, eating like a pig everyday, spending quality time with friends and family, seeing few live bands, cutting 2 peoples hair, training 10 new therapists, taking 250 photos. Among other things.
I lost one of my fancy electronic cigs, that pissed me off somewhat, but mostly I am coping without it anyhow, I am maybe having a puff once or twice a day if things get dicey, which the don't that much any more.
I think about cigarettes and smelling other people smoking is part torture, part enjoyable. But instead of desperately wanting one everyday we are now down to having really hard time once or twice a week. In the last 7 days it has been precisely twice and I managed thru both times.
I just gotta stay vigilant, yesterday was the difficult moment with the 12 hours travel and a few things going wrong in the process and upon arrival to the UK, but I said to myself no and even tho my electronic cig had dead battery from previous day so I didn't even have that backup, I still managed.
So now I have to move on to more healthy diet and exercise regime as the weigh has been piling on like mad. So today I took to work grapes, banana and salad. And my tummy was rumbling like mad all day. I then made low carb dinner with chicken with loads of veg in satay sauce. And I am still hungry. I could eat a horse. But I wont, however tomorrows lunchbox will have to have some more real stuff in it as I ended up having some chocolates because I was starving.
This bit will be somewhat challenging based on day 1.
Anyhow, bed is calling, just wanted to say hello, still here, battling on one day ta a time.
Ironically, right this moment in time I am listening to Imelda Mays 'Smokers song'
Miia, are you really still trying to give up smoking? Your blog is hilarious. It's nice to know you're still on form. From a friend.
