My personal Success!!

I can't show you pictures of a major weight loss becasue it has only been 4 pounds. (you wouldn't want to see them anyway... bleh..lol) I didn't reach some amazing exercise goal or fit into an old pair of pant.. nope.... As of last night i am a non smoker!! I didn't quit last night. I applied my last patch on monday which came off yesterday. 10 whole weeks with a patch that destroyed my arm. I've noticed differences with my energy level. Busted out a 1.5 miles yesterday at the track like it was nothing. (i have decided to start the couch to 5k today) I was a night smoker. I didn't smoke a lot.. just when i was stressed out, upset or bored. (nights were the worst) Well this smoking void had to be filled with something.. In the first few weeks it was night snacking. Usually the 100 calorie packs... Was i hungry? No.. just felt like eating..bored i guess. My sweet loving grammy 91 years young would constantly ask me "when are you going to quit when my aunt and i would return from a break. My aunt and i would always give some lame excuse.. Our favorite was "i'll quit when she quits.. I love my Aunt suddenly a couple months back from a brain aneurysm and it was around then i decided it was time. My grammy couldn't be more thrilled and neither can i. Would i call this a NSV? Nope.. It is a major accomplishment. 4 pounds lost... hmmm.. that happens to be the same number of pounds i gained when i quit.. Sorry for the ramble but it's a pretty good day so far.. (Which is not saying much because it isn't even 7am yet..) I hope everyone has a wonderful day Keep up the good work!!
