Just keep swimming...just keep swimming

Day 14 of not smoking and I cracked...granted I just had one. But OH MY GOODNESS did that almost cause a disastrous relapse. ;) Yesterday when I got home and I was really truly dying to have a smoke I decided that I needed to tackle the disaster zone that I was presently tenderly calling my room. I had piles of laundry needing to be folded and put away, more piles that I needed to go through and get rid of, paperwork and other odds and ends. So to fight off my urge to smoke I entered the zone...great music going, singing along having my son watch me like I was some sort of goofball--priceless. Nearly 2 hours later my mission was complete (ok mostly complete I still have a small shelf with some bills and paperwork to get organized and my scrapbook supplies that have recently traveled with me need to go back to their proper home.)

I got a double bonus in this little adventure I was actually working up a little baby sweat :) It felt good not to just spend the evening lounging. I cannot wait until there is lighter evenings and better weather. I really want to get out walking. This whole nearly dark at 4pm is KILLING this girl.

Today I kept that burst of energy going and rode the bike in the gym at work for 20 min on my lunch. Not enough to get a deep burn going but enough to boost my endorphins and gain a little glow. It kept me from following my urge to mosey on over to Taco Bell and feed my craving for some extremely American Mexican food. Instead I chose wisely and ate my Smart One and got a little bit more calories out of my system:

I feel guilty still for not posting last night. I really wanted to make sure that I post every single day. I may have to modify this to at least posting ABOUT every single day LOL

1 year, 1 month and 12 days to go :)
