Thanks, PDT. As usual, you are right. I was fine for the first few days and then something set me off into the funk and it bothered me. And I couldn't shake it. I feel much better this morning.
Plus, the way this vacation will work out is after a week of this, I still get the long weekend to myself.
And the smoking thing not only will give me a huge boost BUT it will be something else to think (obsess) about.
Thanks again for the perspective. I suppose there will also be the occasional spots where I feel guilty because I don't think about here very often and then 'anymore'.
Tell ya what, CD, just to show that I'm willing to put my ass where my mouth is (wait ... let me re-phrase that...)
I need to drop some weight. After losing 35 lbs on "The Infidelity Diet" three summers ago, I have slowly put it all back on. So for every day YOU don't have a cigarette, I will do 30 minutes on the treadmill.
I'll get psyched up for it and vow that Saturday you will be tired and I will be breathing better.
If I happen to stop prior to Saturday, I'll let you know.
See if you can find an older style "black stick type) Bowflex on Craigslist or something. Stronger muscles burn more calories even while resting.
Best investment I ever made. You body changes shape so quickly with only the advertised 20 minutes 3x week. I have promised myself to keep using it this time.
I used to use it to get ready for hockey season but I'm going to go year round now.
Ummm... I'll join here! I've dropped weight with the "bomb diet" myself but need to get in shape. I'll do 30 min. every day too... I've been exercising but not enough!
I saw her this morning at my S's T-ball game. It's not a longing but I do wonder where that woman I married has gone.
Steady,
Your post reminded me of this song:
"Angry All The Time" Tim McGraw
Here we are What is left of a husband and a wife four good kids Who have a way of gettin on with their lives I'm not old but I'm getting a whole lot older every day It's too late to keep from goin' crazy I got to get away
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time
Our boys are strong the spittin image of you when you were young I hope someday they can see past what you have become I remember every time I said I'd never leave What I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time
Twenty years have came and went since I walked out of your door I never quite made it back to the one I was before And God it hurts me to think of you For the light in your eyes was gone sometimes I don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time
