More Day 1

Thank you Jesus for the nicotine patch. I've actually been doing pretty good today with the not smoking. Though I just realized I don't have any step one patches for tomorrow, only step two . . . may have to make an emergency trip to Walgreens on my way to class. The first day of not smoking is always fairly easy. It's days 2-5 which suck. Here's to not killing anyone tomorrow.

My eating healthy wasn't really very inspired, but I stayed within my allotted points. It helps when I don't have a lot of "snacking" options available - if it's not around, I can't eat it! I still have a few points I need to eat today to get my minimum in, though I may drink them in the form of a glass of wine :-)

No soda was probably the most challenging part of my day. Everywhere I turned, there it was, mocking me. I drank way, way too much coffee which I'm going to try not to do tomorrow - no coffee after noon! Wanting something different to drink in the afternoon, I actually chose some skim milk. The milk and a Fiber One bar made a great afternoon snack!

I was very happy to have cleaned off my desk. That was my organizational challenge of the day. Tomorrow, I'm going to organize something in my kitchen!

I plan on being in bed at 10pm tonight and will read until I'm tired, which hopefully won't take too long.

All in all, the first day has been good - but I think that's the excitement of the first day! As these changes become habits, I'm afraid boredom will set in, and then the real challenge begins!
