Going back to Phase 1 with a friend and the new SB book. She picked it up yesterday and I'm going to take a look at it today. We'll plan our first week menus and get started tomorrow. She is my walking buddy and she has lamented not being able to drop any weight (although she looks like she is losing, she says she isn't). I mentioned to her the SB diet, but she has an issue with "diet" plans. I asked if she could do it for three days. Well, sure, she said. In three days, if she follows the plan, she *should* experience a water weight loss, which might motivate her to keep on with the "diet". I know it does me. I've lost just over 22# since Feb. The last month or so I've followed the eating plan about half of the time, but I'm' ready to give it another go. I'm starting to crave sugar again...I know I can get past that.
Not smoking is going well. I'm chewing the nicotine gum all day (about 6-8 pieces) and I've been having one cigarette each evening. Like an alcoholic trying to convince myself I can have "just one drink", I play with the cigarettes and try to smoke "a little". Which I know is ridiculous, but when it comes to the late evening, I have been having one. All I want is to enjoy a cigarette. But I'm not certain if I've been really doing that, or if I'm being defiant and Bratty McSelfish. Addiction really screws with your head. I'm so grateful I never tried cocaine or heroin. I'm a meth-head and I've never tried it.

I quit smoking. I've been blessed with a not so difficult time quitting, and I'm grateful, so grateful. I didn't plan on quitting, but one morning I thought, "I wonder what will happen if I put my cigarettes in the console and chew a piece of nicotine gum instead of smoking?" Well... now it's six days later. My weight has been stable and not moving down for the last month, so I'm not freaking out by this plateau, I'm just grateful it didn't go UP this week. I've indulged in compulsive eating behaviors because of the lack of cigarettes. I've eaten things that I shouldn't, especially later in the evening. I can follow the SBD until dinner, then I'm loading up on carbs. I wonder why that is?
Quitting smoking, though? I feel 1,000 times better. The cough I've had resolved completely within 24 hours, my sense of smell returned, my taste returned and it's like I have recovered 100% in 6 days.

Another 4 inches gone! No real weight change (on the scale), but the inches going down is empowering. I haven't followed the food plan very well, and I took 5 days off exercising (although I did do stuff like gardening and housework), but today I got back on the food plan and tomorrow I start walking again. Tomorrow is also the first time I'll go to water aerobics and I'll also do the upper body work out.
Eating on track makes me feel so much better. I don't understand why I believe that the bad food will fix me, but I do. And I hate it. So, each time I thought "I'll have a bite of... " I told myself to stop. Not right now. Maybe later. And I walked away. The incredible salad I had with supper was so much more satisfying to my mouth, my soul than the little mini candy bar would have been, and I would have felt guilty and angry after I ate the candy. It was well worth the choice.

The last 2 weeks have been a challenge for me, both personally and eating-wise. I slipped and started eating whatever I wanted, not limiting my carbs and not watching the sugar intake, so I guess I was on Phase F-it. This weekend I felt sick when I would go to bed, and I knew that was my sign to get back on the program. I'm on Phase 1.5, eating only 2 servings of whole grains and 2 servings of fruit. When I went to bed last night I wasn't nauseated and I didn't feel like I was going to fly out of my skin with nerves.
I've been walking, and I joined a gym to do some upper body work, as well as H2O aerobics, and I feel good about that. Last night was the training for the upper body, and I warmed up on the stationary bike. I could have done that for 20 minutes or more, really. That was great. My heart rate was good, I felt energized when I finished. After, she taught me how to do free weights for my upper body, as well as a couple machines. I expected to be sore today, but I'm not. Advil at bedtime... a good thing.
Tonight the kids do their training and I hope I can get in another 10 or 15 minutes on the bike. I walked my Old Man dog, Bear this morning (my walking partner is out of town) and we did just over a mile. He's still recovering (massive panting from the floor), and I'm ready to get a shower.
