Monday Morning and Day 73
Well here it is Monday morning on Day 73 of Winner not smoking and not a lot to report. It has gotten easier, I would be lying if I said I was 'cured'. But as far as cravings go and as far as thinking I might have one - nope that is all gone.
Saturday was tempting as I was well I think the term blind comes to mind and around smokers but just did not want to start at day 1 again, so any thoughts about having one were fleeting.
The good news is that my exercise routine is now starting to shift some of the $1,087 worth of food I have eaten from the savings of not smoking. And when I arrived at said function on Saturday (pre-blind), three people commented on how well I looked and asked me if I had lost weight. Yeeha!
Plus three other people asked me what I had done to have my skin look so much fresher. Uhm, nothing I just stopped smoking back at the end of September. The comments were all the same, your skin and face look so much healthier and brighter.
So I was kind of loving myself a bit sick on Saturday - which may explain the rather excessive intake of beverages. Lucky I ate as well.
And to top off a great weekend I heard from my mum that dad got on very well at the cardiologist - so that is awesome news.
This Friday will be 11 weeks and that means I am almost at my self imposed line in the sand of 12 weeks! Now to just get through the dental surgery at the end of this week. Scary thought for mouth and wallet - but how good to not have a smoke afterwards.
Have a great week all.

Good luck with the Dental surgery. All will heal a lot faster without the nicotine affecting your mouth. keep up the good work .

Awesome work WW. Remember all the way back and how hard it was to start. Now it seems like nothing. 98 days here and still going strong. So happy you still going so strong, brilliant.
