Craves strong today

Since the walk helped you to feel peaceful and you didn't have cravings,

I say keep walking !  Go walking then sit and write a while, walk some more.

Good that you wrote about it.  Get through this day any way you can.  Can you eat a whole bunch? Can you go to sleep early? Can you get out of the house and go to a movie?  How about a manicure or pedicure? Anything to pass the time so you can get to bed and wake up fresh. 

You know, I've never had a manicure or a pedicure before? Just never thought about it. I wouldn't know where to go get one. Movies, unfortunately, are too expensive. I just saw one with a friend and it almost cost me $50 for the tickets and snacks (thankfully he had a rewards card and the movie tickets were free, so I just paid about $20 in snacks). I've had some cereal, a red bean paste bun (more delicious than it sounds), a granola bar, a Clif bar (you know, those dense nutrient things) and a banana so far. Doesn't sound like much, but I fill up pretty fast. Right now I'm chilling outside in the shade with a glass of ice water and chatting with a friend on Skype. I've gone for two walks already today. Though the fourms I'm on are a little slow today so I'm still a little bored. I did read some of my Reader's Digest magazine before I grew tired of it. I don't know why, but reading books is tiring these days. That's why I like things with short snippets. I got a Chicken Soup for the Soul Women's Devotional Stories book and have been reading a story out of that each day. Today's was about change and trusting in it and how it brings blessings. When I applied that sort of thinking to smoking, it really helped me out today. I might see about going out and having tea today or something. Maybe invite my friend along.

Hi, I see that you survived yesterday.  Yey!   :)  As far as the manicure/pedicure, here in Miami we have a ton of nail places in every shopping center so you can get your nails and feet done for cheap. Not sure where you live....Before they had these places, I would go to a manicurist at a beauty salon................When I first quit I watched a lot of funny youtube videos and used its calming meditation videos to make myself relax and/or fall asleep. I used to fall asleep listening to videos of rain storms or winter storms. 

I'll have to find a place. Might be nice having my nails professionally done.
