04 May 2006 - Sunny Day

Well what a superb day, summer is here all of a sudden. Had a lovely day shopping yesterday, didn't buy too much, a few odds and sods, as always got the money so couldn't see anything!

Popped in the hairdressers, had a consultation, chose a colour, chose a style, booked in for Tuesday. So teeth Monday, hair Tuesday, apprehension and excitement.

Did well on my healthy eating plan yesterday, until I gave in to an Indian meal in the evening, not sure if that counts as being unhealthy as such, tandori chicken and special rice, the rest of the day I was good, chose a healthy salad baguette instead of a Maccy D's whilst we were out shopping.

Weigh in at 10st 2lb this morning. Today my proper proper healthy eating plan starts, again ...

I'm glad I don't smoke, I'm really glad I don't smoke. Today I am proud of what I have done, I've quit 30 a day cold turkey, I know it's the third time but something inside me this time is different. I'm not making a big deal out of it, I don't go around telling everyone, I did that before expecting a huge round of applause from everyone, and when you don't get it you get a bit dissillusioned and think maybe it's not such a great thing to do, and that nobody really cares. This time it's about me, I don't care what anybody thinks, I am only doing it now because I want to do it, 100% for me, no pressure, if I want to light up again of course I can, whenever I want, but I choose not too. It's getting easier now, I still smell lovely, my energy levels have gone through the roof, my fingers are no longer yellow, my tongue is a rich pink colour, my food tastes so much better. I'm not sleeping too well, I fancy one every now and then, I think the pros far outweigh the cons.

Yeah it's only 3 weeks, but I'm proud of me and that's all I need.

Have a lovely day, I'm off to collect work so will be sat at the computer all day typing! Have to do a bit of speed typing so I can grab a few hours of sun later.
