Goal 1: The Day After

Alright so, I am alive. I was woken up at dawn by the phone but the good news is it is dawn! I made it through a whole day! I did great all day until after dinner when I became a sobbing blob of couch goo and was incredibly snotty with everyone who loves me and cursed the world. I made it though without a cigarette all day. As long as I remember to breathe I will make it. It is proven that smokers smoke at least partially to calm themselves with deep breathing. When people quit smoking they forget to take the deep breaths they are used to. Also, today I am going to figure out what I want to do as a reward!

Rewards are super important to quitting. When I quit the first time the books said to spend every penny of our smoking money on rewards. This is a great idea if you can afford it but it caused me to choose large lofty goals and get bummed when the money wasn't there to go through with them. I think this time I am going to run this all a little more sensibly. I will probably still want to go to New York for my one year as that has always been the plan. My husband will probably get his awesome 3-D Television as well but, I do not need gratification in lame and expensive ways. I actually enjoyed being able to run farther, smell better and taste my food last time. Yummy Food! I think I am going to go for all you can eat pancakes this morning.

Nail Polish

Foot Scrub

Giant Shoes

• For a week I will go and get some of the bath and body works foot scrub I <3 and maybe a new nail polish color.
• I think for a month I want a pair of super cute shoes that only come in European sizes which make my feet a size 39! I love the idea of crushing things under my giant feet!
• I will have to come up with some other things for later but I think this is a good start.
