Week Four

I can’t believe we’ve headed into the fourth week of not smoking, but we have. In some ways it seems like we stopped just yesterday, and in other ways (like wanting a cigarette every stinking day) it seems like its been a long time without.

We’re doing well, neither of us has cheated (no matter how much we wanted to sometimes) and it’s looking to me like we can do it. I’m proud of us – especially my snookey with no patch. Today I started on the step 2 patches and I’m gonna keep that up for 3 weeks til I go to step 1. I figure the more I ween myself from the nicotine, the better chances I stand of just being in the habit of not having a smoke, while still not craving it as much cuz I’ve got the patch on – get out of the psychological wanting because the patch leaves the physical wanting out.

Anyway, other than focusing on that, I haven’t been doing much of anything else except working out. And I wasn’t even doing that last week for 3 days because I went to a class and pulled a leg muscle, then something in my groin, then something around my elbow area. So I gave my body a rest for 3 days and then headed back into it.

I was gonna go do an aquafit class tonight but the Monday woman sucks. She does the class from within the water. How does she think that a class full of people also in the water area going to be able to see what she’s doing? *duh* So instead I’m gonna do some bodyattack thing – let’s hope that it doesn’t attack my muscles in a bad way like last week’s bodypump class.

I’m hoping after the class to get onto the machines since I still haven’t figured out when to work those in with all these classes. Tonight my daughter’s coming with my snookey and me. She got a one-week free pass to try out the club. If she liked it I’d be willing to pay for her membership, but only if she was gonna show up 3 to 4 times a week. Otherwise, I’d be stuck paying for her membership for a year and be pretty pissed off that she wasn’t going. So I don’t know how that is gonna work out.

Other than that I’ve just been playing Mafia Wars, Yoville and I bought the new Wolfenstein game. I used to play that years ago, and then Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I didn’t even know they’d come out with a new version til I happened into a game store (why oh why do I go in there?) and saw it. Anyway, so far that seems ok except that I’ve got to play it with the disc in – whose brilliant idea is that? Now I’ve got to reinstall and download a non-cd version of the game. Idiots.

I’ve yet to reinstall the hard drive onto my laptop. And you can believe that Dell is getting anxious. I get a phone call from them once or twice a week to say… “what about that hard drive you’re supposed to return?”. I’d better get around to that soon or they’re going to charge me for the new one.

So I’m off. I have time to finish my tea before I pick up my daughter for the big work out. Be easy on me, workout, while giving me a fantastic body at the same time, thank you
