I decided to quit smoking this Monday, September 15th. I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but yesterday I just decided that I would go ahead and do it. I really want to quit but sometimes I just love smoking. On the other hand many of the cigarettes I smoke I don’t really enjoy much at all, I’m just smoking to smoke. I know it will be difficult so I am working on thinking of and listing all the benefits for me and also all of the things I can do when I get a craving. I have also signed up to be a member of two smoking cessation groups and I might try to find an area group. But yeah, Monday is the day.

On Sunday I volunteered at GreenFest! Philadelphia and I start my docent training at a local museum on Tuesday, which I am excited about. I still want to find more social causes to volunteer for but I just haven’t been searching actively for things I am interested in.

I joined a gym about two weeks ago when I found out my insurance company covers it (thank you insurance!). So far I have lost 8lbs, well as of Wednesday at least. I only weigh myself at the gym. If I had a scale at home I’d be crazy with it. I also started keeping better track of my nutrition and joined sparkpeople.com, which is a great free way to track your fitness and daily food intake, amongst other things. So hopefully I will stick with this for the long run, which is usually where I come into problems.
