WHY AM I GAINING WEIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Does smoking really affect your metabolism that much? My eating has been fine. Just fine! Well, with the exception of a package of Skittles (which wasn't even a package because I just ate the purple ones), I have been really good! I can't explain it and it drives me batty. It's completely horrible that I'm seriously considering smoking again, not because I actually crave a cigarette, but because the scale has shot up a few pounds.... There MUST be a special spot in Hell for me.
But I won't. Who wants to quit smoking more than once?
I've been cranking out these runs. A 45 minute run/walk in the morning and a 30 minute run in the evening. I just want to keep moving. And I really do notice the difference post-smoking. The anxiousness that weighed so heavy on me a week ago is waining. I know that vacation is imminent and this is the calm before the storm. Sometimes I think the fun in a vacation is the execution of it all- the planning and packing and traveling (I love airports- this comes from being shuttled in between parents and the glorious feeling of being 13 and ALONE in an airport. Nothing feels more grown-up). There's also the excitement of seeing family after a long time apart, the outfit coordination and the bikini wax. Well, perhaps not the waxing part (but I have a fabulous waxer if any Denverites would like her name).
So. Meals for today are as follows:
2 pieces of toast with light butter
green juice (fruit)
nonfat latte w/ splenda
salad
grape tomatoes
gala apple
green juice (veggie)
half a cup of eggwhites
Not bad. In fact, pretty damn good. BUT, it's friday. Fridays have a way of sneaking things like $2 cocktails and appettizers into your plan. Damn them.
