Well, gang I did it! One hundred days with not even ONE cigarette! I think I’ve done it this time. The cravings are far and few between and when I smell a cigarette it makes my stomach turn. That’s not to say I don’t get cravings anymore at all. They come, and sometimes the are strong. Especially when I am around my smoking friends. I can only take about 2 or 3 hours before the cravings start really getting to me. So, for any of my friends who might think me a bit anti-social lately, do you smoke? I miss you guys, but it’s necessary for my success at this. My friends rock, and I’m sure some of them understand completely, some of them understand but want to punch me in the throat, and some of them are probably reading this right now thinking, ‘!!! That’s who’s been missing the last 100 days!” LOL

So, what’s next? Well, the next piece of getting into shape would be diet. So, while maintaining success with the non-smoking thing, I will be trying to garner success in the diet arena. This means smaller portions (especially when eating out), better quality food, and smarter ingredients. I mean, smarter like better choices — not smarter like dogs versus cows…

Here’s to another 100 days of no smoking. I’d like to do the cliche bullshit where I tell you guys how stupid it is, and how you should quit, and how you life would be so much better, blah blah blah. But, I know better. I’ve been on both sides of the fence, and while I feel 150% convinced that it’s better on this side of the fence, I know how nice it is to walk on the other side as well. :) Smoke one for me, and if you decide to join us on this side of the fence, I’ll welcome you just the same. :)
