Day 5 of readjusting to life as a nonsmoker: I feel like I'm constantly forgetting to do something or just not quite complete. After dinner with a friend last night, I awkwardly walked to her car....it was like I forgot to pay the bill or left my purse in the restaurant. The between transitions of doing things is when I miss it most....I feel like I'm missing something. It's lovely to know when I stood in a room of people last night that I didn't stink like cigarettes though. Just wanting the coughing to finally leave and the awkward missing something stage from not smoking to leave. Day 5. The longest I've ever succeeded before. If I can make it a week, two weeks, a month.....then I know I've got this in the bag.
As for my weightloss journey...14.5 inches gone from my body!! 13.3 pounds never coming back. This is a healthier 2011. This is a healthier me.

NSV for me!
Non-scale victor(ies) for me!
1) Yesterday I got THREE compliments in one day. Felt good to know that others can see a change in me, even though I may not see it (or allow myself to see it).
2) My work pants - the only pair I have because I would not allow myself to buy more than one pair in this god-awful size - are dragging through the snow and puddles of spring because they are TOO BIG!
3) My kids have seen how much I care about what I eat and counting calories and comment positively on it - Mommy, how many calories does this food have...etc. It's nice to see them taking notice of the changes in my eating and habits.

Where did it come from?
So as of Sunday I have lost 9 inches and 8.5 pounds. I'm feeling frustrated because I feel like I should see more results by now, it's been 6 weeks! I know where the inches have come off from, but at the same time, I feel like I don't know! Some clothes fit different, like my "fatter" clothes are loose, but my "smaller" clothes are still too tight. As my dear husband says "stay the course" because truly, 7 months to go and I should be where I want to be, but 7 months is so far!
