baby steps

OK!!!!

so i FINALLY admitted

i AM a smoker

i buy them AND smoke them

by the pack

people keep on my butt about it

i KEEP sayin' i'm gonna quit

i ONLY smoke in my car .. NEVER in my house

don't allow others to smoke in the house

usta NOT smoke in the car

but others kept lightin' up in MY car without asking

i guess, they took it for granted

that IF i smoked elsewhere

i smoked in the car

MOSTLY i smoke when i drive

sometimes on overnites

NEVER in the hotel room

so, on Thur Dec 28th & Fri 29th

i helped Michelle move

when we were done moving her

i broke & threw away the cigs

haven't had OR WANTED one since

so i guess i am making some progress

toward better health

anyways

i NEED to eat better & exercise

not so much for weight loss

i want to feel better

asthma, allergies & sinus troubes

tend to disappear when i take better care of myself

however, i lack motivation

i think what it is

if i screw up

i beat myself up about it

so

i am gonna take it one day at a time

baby steps

i will resume the lemonade

when i drank it

i didn't snack or drink pop

however

i got lazy & didn't think i had enuff time to FULL SCALE prepare it

so i bought ReaLemon, Lime & Key Lime juices

will put 2 TBLS of ea into a quart bottle

add 3 TBLS Maple Syrup & fill with water

taking 2 bottles with me tomoro when i fly

yeah, i know

preservatives

but i figure it's better than taking the chance

i drink Mountain Dew

gonna take yogurt to drink too

maybe to eat as well

report at 1:46 PM

home by midnite:44 AM thur

also taking Green Tea bags in case i want

somethingELSE to drink

bought Salada

red, purple & original anti-oxidant

while i was @ Target

i saw yoga mats & yoga bricks for $2.50 ea

SHOULD have bought some to keep in the bag

then i can exercise on my overnites

altho

IF i carry them, i need the DVD player

which means

less room to carry knitting

but i need to knit less & exercise more

so

tomoro on the way in

i will stop @ Target to pick up a mat or 2 & a few bricks

hopin' they FIT in the bag

i won't be going thru Atlanta for the month

NO more Waffle House Sweet Tea

NO more Joe's on Sullivan

no burger, sweet tea & my NEW fav

sweet potatoe fries .. YUM!!!!

Rose had some Apple & Cinnamon Chex Mix

bought a bag @ Target in Planefield a few days ago

shared it with Lori when we flew on Sun

also found ARCHER FARM brand trail mix

Sunny Cranberry

ate the entire bag on mon

when i was @ Target in Avon

i avoided that aisle

but i did find the NEW Pringles

sweet potato chips @ Wal*Mart

bought a bag

they aren't calling to me

YET!!!

haven't been to the gym for ??

think around Thanksgiving

so

i am gonna try to finish the gloves

pack to go on Fri @ 1:45 PM

overnite in Grand Rapids

knitting & exercising time on Sat before i fly to

Fort Myers for a short stay

home on Sun

the plan is to FELT the hat & gloves on Sun if i

don't get it done on Thur

i am bummed that i didn't knit the fingers long enuff & have to

unravel & knit some more

but i NEED them ASAP

so, i will bite the bullet & get 'er done
