Well, there’s only seven days left! I can’t wait! There’s a catch, though. This tattoo is a kind of reward I am giving myself for one week of not smoking. I’m supposed to quit tomorrow. So, hopefully I’m as strong as I think I am and by this time next week I will be getting my new tattoo and be a non smoker. Here goes nothing.

Well, tomorrow is the big day. I’m staying up later then usual cause I want to smoke a few extra. I know, it’s pretty sad. I’m still determined to quit. I’m a stay at home mom, so I smoke 99% of my smokes in the basement. The wood furnace is in the basement. So, I convinced my husband to get some oil so I don’t have to go in the basement. I bought all kinds of fruit and fruit juices. They’re supposed to help, I guess. I made a huge “to-do” list for tomorrow that should help keep me busy. Supposed to snow tomorrow, so playing outside is out. :(
I know that I can do this. For myself, my kids, and my husband. I hope that if I can quit then he will quit too. We are both so unhealthy for being so young. This is the first step in a long and rewarding journey to health and happiness.
So, I figure I need more incentive then just being healthy, so I made a list of “prizes” I’m going to give myself for each goal I reach. Anything I can do to convince my husband to let me buy a new purse! Anyway, the list goes as follows:
1 Day – Two magazines.
3 Days – New Purse!!!
1 Week – Tattoo !!!!!!
2 Weeks – Two new books
3 Weeks – ?
1 Month – New watch
3 Months – Tanning sessions
6 Months – 400.00 shopping spree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t wait!
