Not too much going on

But, I'm so grateful that school is back in session and that John has returned to work. I enjoy my "me" time far too much, and 2 weeks at home with both them was a lot to handle.

 

I started back at the gym this week. Plus, bowling started again on Wednesday. I had such a good time, and then went out to lunch with a girlfriend. That didn't go over so well. We ventured to Sonic, and I ordered a corny dog and cheese fries. My body no longer likes greasy food. I was uncomfortable all day after lunch, and just felt horrible. I didn't eat but 2 little bites of the breading of the corn dog, and the hot dog on the inside. Then, I only had like 5-7 fries with a little cheese. So, no more greasy food for me.

 

I also keep losing/gaining this same 1.5lb, and it's really frustrating. I have an appointment with my surgeon soon, and I need to go ahead and make a trip to the lab so I can already have my labs done before I see him. He's already put in the order for the labs. I just have to get down there to have them pulled.

 

I plan on doing some core/ab work out today, and some leg work. My tummy is shrinking which makes me happy. It's wrinkly, but at least it's shrinking. Tomorrow, I head back to the gym for my last day of strength training for the week. I do 3 days of strength training, 1 day of ab/core workouts, and I bowl on Wednesdays. So, here's to toning up the body that I've been blessed to have after dropping all of this weight.

 

I'm still smoking, but I'm considering going to my PCP and getting on Zyban (Wellbutrin) to see if will help me quit. All the nicotine supplements aren't working, and I'm super irritable when I try cold turkey.

 

I really need to quit, but I'm mentally drawn to smoking because honestly I don't want to end up with my head in the fridge.

 

I find it easier to quit food than cigarettes. I've got the food addiction contained, why am I so scared to give up the nicotine?

My mother used Chantix and she stopped smoking after 2 weeks although she continued to take the meds for 2 months to make sure she was off of them. It works really fast. She had no desire to smoke after 1 week but she would try anyways and during her 2nd week she could only take 2 drags at a time. she couldn't even finish one cig in one day. She has been doing very well for 6 months so far. Talk to your doc about a prescription. Good luck.

Unfortunately, Chantix isn't covered by our insurance, and it's a little on the pricey side for me to pay out of pocket. I want to try it, but we just can't afford it right now.
