Quick update

My last few updates have just been, ok still alive, still quiting tabacco posts, so what’s going on?

Well, right now I’m just focusing on getting off tabacco.  That means, lots of sun flower seeds, good amount of beef jerky, and nicotine lozenges.  It sucks a lot of the time, so to eliminate any extra pressure I’m not tracking calories.  At the same time I’m not going crazy, and I’m trying to eat pretty well.  And I have except for last Friday where I did eat fast food twice (first full day quitting, I didn’t care).  

Other than that its been pretty standard, Turkey Sandwhich, apple, yogurt for lunch and dinner in with the family.  I stepped on the scale once this weekend, and was up a couple of pounds, so I’m going to stay off for a bit, and chalk it up to the sodium from Sunflower Seeds and jerky.

The cravings are getting better, but still suck a lot of the time.  Don’t ever chew, smoke, or whatever, its dumb and sucks to quit.

Dr visit on Thursday.  Hoping I’ll get cleared to start running.  Its a session to learn strengthening exercises, and stretching to deal with IT Band.  I’m not sure if the Doctor will want me to work those for a while before I start running again, or if I can run while I continue to do them.  Also going to ask about biking, I can’t do it during the week, but it’d be cool if I can do it on weekends.  Looking forward to Thursday to find this stuff out.

Its another go go go day.  Work, pickup Nathan, clean house, get dinner ready, eat as soon as Tiffany gets in the door, rush to swim class.  Busy but fun and worthwhile, Nathan loves swim class and I love to see him have fun and learn.  Have a good day!
