Smoke-Free: Day 3!

Hey there lovely readers!

So here I am, I made it to day 3 of my new life as a recovering-smokeaholic. Smoke free, and patch free. Yep! So here's how I felt so far:

Day 1

I can't remember much to be honest. Where my brain used to be, there only seemed to be a hot dog bun. That's how I felt. Chewing gum aaaaaaall day. Plus wearing this "medium" patch. Didn't sleep good at all, didn't work out that day, and I was hungry. HUNGRY! In the morning I would have had a corn dog if one was around. Oh and cocktails! I was daydreaming of Margaritas! Geeeeeeez... Drug withdrawal is tough indeed.

Feeling: Blah and dumb.
Gums: 25(?)
Patch: Yes
Food: A lot. Of crap.
Workout: Nope.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 2

I was so tired after waking up every 20 mins that night.Work was stressful as heck. I am all alone at the office right now, but I've somehow managed it to finish everything around 5:15PM. Went home, changed into workout gear right away, and did "Extreme Shred & Shed" with Jillian Michaels. I did the warm up and Level 2, but had to stop 5 minutes early though, cause I had to head over to my sister's to babysit my nephew. I removed the patch in the afternoon since I didn't feel it was doing any good; besides it started to itch. I think I was keeping up petty good that day! Plus I had some good night's sleep! (blame it on the no-more-patch)

Feeling: Tired but not like a junkie on cold turkey anymore.
Gums: 2
Patch: 4 hours, then ripped it off for good!
Food: Healthy breakfast, ice cream for lunch, and Lasagne and stuffed bell peppers for dinner.
Workout: "Extreme Shed & Shred", Level 2.

Day 3

Almost half way through day 3 now, and I'm feeling better and better! Almost nocraving for cigarettes. I can even smell it when someone walks past my office window smoking a cigarette and it BOTHERS me :oD
I'm looking forward to get off, so I can have a phone date with hubs, another workout with Jillian, roasted veggies and goat cheese for dinner... Feeling good!

Feeling: Awesome!
Gums: 2
Patch: -
Food: Healthy breakfast, ice cream and peaches for lunch. And tons of water!
Workout: Meeting Jillian later, so it will be "Extreme Shed & Shred" again!

Ugh... // More white

This up there is the view from my kitchen window this morning. And below is my bedroom window. Covered by about 5 inches of snow. The last pic is my current view from the office. White. Snow. Tons of snow. I am seriously sick of snow. I don´t want winter anymore! I want green , flowers, blue sky, SUN!

 

 

I want to wear my summer dresses. My flip flops! I miss my freckles!
Oh please... can summer please arrive soon? :o(

 

Anyone else sick of snow? Or is it just me hatin?

The Ugly Truth

OK, check the date.... It´s summer, right? Is it? Or did I go to bed in April and woke up in October? Help!

I know some of you guys in the US are suffering from the heat. Over here in Germany? Rainy, cold, dark... It sucks. At least I live in Bavaria (southern Germany) so we had a couple of hot days so far and I still remember the sky is blue and the sun is warm.

In the western parts though (that´s where I grew up) - every time I checked the weather on my App, they were obviously freezing their butts off. Plus I guess umbrella stores make a billion over there right now.

Ok, I know I know, I should be happy I already have freckles and a tan. But this weather right now sucks. Bad. I don´t feel like wearing socks and SHOES!!! I want my flip flops :o(

The only good thing about this crazy weather is: I can stay at home without feeling guilty ;o), wear my Chargers sweatpants and my good old Lakers shirt, cuddling up with Coco cat on the couch  and work on my to-read-list. By the way - is anyone else on goodreads? If so: go ahead and hit me up on there!

M is happy though! He loves this kind of weather. Stupid Washington State ppl ;o) (JOKE!!)

How´s your summer so far?
