Well, it's been over 3 weeks now since my last cigarette. 25 days to be exact. And according to my calculator, that's over 750 cigarettes not smoked and over $250 not spent buying cigarettes. So far so good! I'm actually pretty happy with my progress.
Healthwise, I don't feel as good as I did the first 2 weeks of not smoking. Our weather has been up and down and that has affected my sinuses. I am having a lot of drainage, and our gas heat is not helping by drying my out constantly, so as a result my throat always seems to be sore when I'm home. If it doesn't get any better, I will take myself to see a doctor soon. I am also having an increase in acid reflux, which is adding to the irritation of my throat. Still, I can deal with this and am positive this is not something I will deal with forever.
I am trying to reward myself for quitting smoking. I am giving myself $50 out of each paycheck to spend on something for myself. It's not like I need anything, but I do feel like I should be able to treat myself to something. I bid on a few things on Ebay but have already been outbid on those items. And while upping my bid would stay within my $50 limit, I have a hard rule to bid only once on something and then walk away. I let fate take its course. Otherwise, I will get competitive and start spending more money than I should LOL Anyway, now I am looking at a few other things I might want for myself, specifically a few magazines that I would enjoy subscribing to. We shall see.
Anyway, that's today's update. Thanks for all of the support!!
