  1. Here we go again!

    · Donotwannasmoke · 07/30/15 10:08 PM

    Decided to log everything, I'm writing a food diary, a gym diary, a smoking diary......rather productive actually, only takes 5 mins a day but I'm learning a lot through it.
     
    I have become obsessed by the gym, doing weights for the first time in my life, seriously, in two weeks (I'm going every day) cannot believe the change in my body, I have back problems so i have a mobility programme, I feel quite strong. Normally I would do a 30 mile bike ride, or train for half marathon without spending anytime in the gym, hence I then suffer with muscle strain of some sort....now I'm getting stronger I feel confident in entering some events next year.
     
    I went to the neighbours tonight, they are Italian, we cooked, we ate, we drank, we had fun..without smoking! I did think about it and my husband kept disappearing, but I didn't have to interrupt the evening with me popping out constantly.
     
    Staying focused..swimming tomorrow, with more lung capacity than usual.
     
    Being honest, still wanna fag! :-(

  2. Mind consuming!

    · Donotwannasmoke · 07/22/15 09:22 PM

    Hello,
     
    So far, so good! By the way I have not yet fallen into temptation, why did I type 'yet" hmmmm - dislike! re-type, I have not fallen into temptation. However, my thoughts are constantly on smoking, which isn't completely abnormal as I have realised they always were, I never really smoked in the day due to the nature of my job, once home my daughter needs me so I would usually have to wait until the evening anyway, by which time it would feel like taking off a very tight, uncomfortable shoe and pure relief when I could smoke (Allen Carr's analogy). Therefore, I would be looking forward to something all day, and now I'm not, but I am ok with it thanks to this fantastic site, I am reading on here everyday reminding myself why I am now a non-smoker.
     
    I am not convinced I believe myself to be a non-smoker, wondering when it will be that a cave in, I will keep listening to the sensible part of me and still take one day at a time as it is early days. Already seen some benefits such as spending more time with my daughter, feel cleaner, skin has improved already I'm sure of it and I am coping ok, even my husband popping outside every 20mins for a smoke isn't affecting me too much.
     
    I know we are supposed to carry our lives on as normal but for the time being I don't wish to be tempted by evenings out which I know will include wine consumption for me so have decided on the gym tomorrow night and I will be designated driver to a sausage and beer festival on Sunday.
     
    Off to bed, feeling productive! :)

  3. Camping Trip

    · Donotwannasmoke · 08/05/15 09:26 PM

    Hello campers,
     
    I more than survived my camping weekend away, it was more relaxing than I ever imagined. There were 'breaks' in the bar during bingo for those that needed it, I happily kept the children entertained whilst others took their 'break', infact, I spent every minute with them, no hiding behind the tent (how sad!), no extra long toilet trips, no passive smoking for them, just a simple, fun weekend away!
     
    I do feel a little disappointed that I felt like I needed the vapour in the evening, something I will need to address as really don't want to be reliant on anything and have that panic feeling when you go out without something. Still, I won't give myself a hard time, at this moment I have only one rule....NOPE!
     
    My husband gave me some praise last night, he is now seriously considering stopping and has promised not to smoke on holiday, brilliant, I wasn't expecting that.
     
    Happy days! It's not easy but I'm giving it my all
  4. I've been to a festival today with family and friends, I didn't mind the smell of smoke from others wafting my way but all in all it was no problem, I drove so I wouldn't drink which was helpful. I'm noticing people smoking so much now, first I think "ooh that looks nice" then I think "but I won't poison myself today!" Feeling rather chuffed today.
     
    I'm also concentrating at looking at the non-smokers, are they enjoying themselves any less because they are not smoking? Of course not.
     
    Today was a good day :-)
