patch + cold = dry throat suckiness 6 months ago

argh! i forgot i had the patch on & that it makes me thirsty. i’ve been downing tea & reading about throat diseases. phew… i’ll just take this patch off. i think the cold & fear will be enough to keep me from smoking today.

week 4! 6 months ago

i did a couple weeks over, but now i can do 16 pushups in a row! taking those 1-2 min breaks in between really makes a diff.

Quit Smoking (read all 33 entries…)
this is taking forever 6 months ago

but i definitely smoke so much less than i used to.

Number of Cigarette-Free Days
February: 20
March: 18
April: 15

um… i blame the high rate of failure on all the spring birthday parties & my formerly quit friends have started carrying around cigs (“just to have when i go out drinking”).

this month is off to a great start though. i have a terrible cold & haven’t smoked for a week. not even at the most recent birthday party. everyone was smoking indoors (artists!). and there were open packs of cigarettes all over the coffee tables. and i didn’t know many people and it would have been so much easier to approach someone to ask for a cigarette.

the next day i was very glad that i hadn’t smoked.

about the 5k, it was a lot of fun! and it turns out that smoking before a run won’t really affect your performance (if you’re slow like me), but all the runners nearby will make snide comments, even if you are nowhere near the event. argh. just hold your breath & speedwalk by! it’s not that fkg hard! that’s what i do when someone’s smoking a cigar on the street.
