What to do today??

I sit here as my baby watches a TV show and ponder what to do?? Things I should be doing is something active and easy to get away from the smoking.   So, options for today: wash windows, vaccuum floors and clean bathroom.


Got 4 windows done, the floor is done and I didn't go near the bathroom with her up. Too many nasty chemicals to worry about with her around.

Here is how things are truly going. Guess I should tell you how I am doing things before I say how I am doing. Well, through a weeks worth of baselining I found that the average amount of cigarettes I go through in a day is 20. So I started with 15 yesterday and am going to see what comes from there. Yesterday was really difficult. I found that I ran out of cigarettes before the day was done. So, I made it a point to go to bed when Carrie did so I would not be sitting around craving and wanting and break things on the first day. Today was alot easier. I am very close to going to bed and I still have 3 smokes left. Big difference from the 2 days. Am going to do 1 more day of 15 and Thursday I am going to cut it down to 13. Give that 2 or 3 days and go from there. Am going to cut at least 1 smoke out every couple of days.   Slowly but surely it will cut down to none and then I be a none smoker. Am giving myself until Oct 11 to be down to none, am hoping for sooner though. Think by the time I get down to a couple I may just say screw it and go cold turkey from there. Will see when we get that close!

As for loss of weight I woke early enough to do almost a whole exercise movie today.  Was excited that I made it through most of it! I have truly realized that I am SSOOO out of shape. Was sweating before the warm up was over. I figure if I can do a couple movies every week then that is a start. Would love to do walks around the neighborhood, but I fear with a toddler the walk would be snail walk (not effective for getting heart rate up). Although she does like to watch me go up the stairs. 

Am thinking of putting full statistics on here. Weight, measurements and pictures too. This way I have a documented area that not only others can see, but I can too!!! This way I will have before and after pics to compare.

Nothing really new or exciting going on here. Am doing the last of the moves for Carrie to have her bed in her bedroom upstairs. This way she can have her own room. Is going to be a big change, but it will be good for us (I think). It will probably be a bigger change for me than her. I really like being so close to her so I can hear her breathe and stir!!! Oh well, guess that has to come eventually!
