8 - Babe Brehm...

I am from Pittsburgh - Penguins beat by the Capitals this year. I live in Maryland - so I'm in the ALL CAPS area. I've always liked the Caps and kind of feel sorry for them for never quite making it but Fleury (former Penguin) is a Golden Knight ... and the Las Vegas dinner show style opening of the Stanley Cup? Well how can I resist that level of...of whatever the hell that was? I found myself cheering for the Knights on Monday night. I missed it last night though but see it's 1-1. Maybe I'm in the who cares category? :-)

Chick checking in!! It's almost two months quit for me. I do the daily NOPE pledge - except I miss a lot of weekends because I'm out busy doing things, which is a good thing. I find it super helpful to be accountable to the QT and also to me. I was surprised yesterday when I saw on my ticker that I've saved more than $300 and avoided over 1000 cigarettes - holy crap!!! I can't believe that in less then two months I smoked a thousand cigarettes. That's just gross - such an amount of garbage I not only put into my body but into the world, roadside, landfills. Anyway the quit is going well for me. Sometimes I get the anxieties but they pass quickly enough. I don't dwell - I acknowledge, accept that's just what happens, and move on. This quit has been so much easier for me than any previous and for that I'm grateful. I went off the Chantix several weeks ago...maybe should have weaned myself off because I had a few unsettled days but those passed also. I've gained weight which is a bummer because I recently got rid of the clothes I wore when I was this weight a couple of years ago so all of my skinnier clothes are just a little or more than a little too tight. I can't really figure out the weight gain because I'm not an over eater; maybe I'm just a poor choice eater. But I will do better with that in the coming weeks. I've enjoyed some awesome hiking and weekend trips. I made an mosaic table top which I'll finish up this weekend. These are things I may not have done when I smoked so they are the side benefits of not smoking.

NOPE!!!

-4? I'm getting confused...and I'm slow... Hi all! Hi Jo - Sunny Maryland is not sunny at all today -- gray, dismal, damp but it's warm so that's a positive in my book.
