detox

Since I haven’t been drinking, I also haven’t been smoking ;)

I’ve just added another facet to this detox goal, fasting regularly :)

As part of my detox thing, I will get on track with my vitamins and supplements by taking them everyday for a month, http://www.43things.com/things/view/1104022/take-my-vitamins-every-day-for-a-month#entry2839133 :)

And for my next trick… A 30-day alcohol detox!

I figure after three months without smoking cigarettes, one month of laying off the spirits should be cake, right?

It’s been almost six weeks smoke-free, so what’s next on my detox list?

So, I’m on day six and I wrote about quitting here: http://mdmintake.blogspot.com/2007/11/last.html. Today, I received this in an email (via QuitNet), and thought it was very timely:

“Sometimes you have to make quitting your #1 priority; which can mean putting your social life on hold during the early days. If you must socialize in risky environments, perhaps your party friends can help you by smoking less around you, etc. This is your quit, and you need to do whatever you can to not smoke. The responsibility is yours.”

I was just talking to the boyfriend about how I’ve not yet had to face any external triggers like people smoking around me. I’m a little nervous about it, and definitely feel like avoidance it the best path for me right now. My objective over the past few days has been to get through it to get over it, but not obsess. I think I’m doing well :)

Of course, my family may be feeling otherwise ;)

I’m smoking more just to spite myself.

...

That’s really dumb.

Alright. So, I’m sort of maybe quitting smoking. (grumble)

That oughta count towards my detox, right?

A few years ago, I was smoking a pack a day. Since then, I’ve been stuck at three a day. They’re all natural, organic American Spirits, but still… I got to lose them.

Ugh.

This goal is just a bit to vague for me. Specifically, wtf am I doing? Unlike kah who used a book from which to work (http://www.43things.com/people/progress/Onkelo/5939074), something with a clearly defined beginning and end, I just kind of signed up for it without a plan. So unlike me, I know :P

I don’t want to do a specific detox. Instead, I want to always look for a better way to consume for my body. I’m going to approach this a new way, and alter my Lazy Ass Mofo Detox Plan TM by recording here the things I’m currently working on. Maybe I should also pick a new title for this; I’ll look around to see if there’s a more suitable one :)

I’m really enjoying reading k’s progress on this. She’s got some pretty interesting “fun facts” that I really look forward to learning about each week :)

Also, continuing with my Lazy Ass Mofo Detox Plan TM, I started putting lemon wedges in my water last week. Mediocrity at its finest, people :)
