Yesterday was my 4th anniversary for quitting smoking!
So after church the kids and I went out to lunch at BJ’s restaurant and brewery. When our waitress found out why we were there she brought us out a free pizookie, which had to have been one of the most delicious things I’ve had the pleasure of eating. I’m not feeling guilty about it because there were four spoons and the kids and I shared it. If it had been any other day rather than my off day, I’d be crying from the guilt! lol I got the chicken fried steak, which wasn’t a good choice really, but I didn’t eat much of it at all. I traded my left over mashed potatoes with my daughter for her left over veggies (omg those were some good veggies), and we brought our left overs home and ate them later for dinner. So, I’m sure that the total calories in that meal and dessert reside somewhere in the 2000-2005 range, but that is all I ate for the entire day and it was my off day. So, I’m okay with it.
When we got home we watched my wedding video (todays sermon at church was about marriage so it got us to wanting to watch it). That was fun, and the first time my 7 year old had ever seen it. After that we watched a DVD I made three years ago by putting together a bunch of pictures to different songs and added in quotes here and there that were fitting…that DVD turned out really, really good. I gave one to all of our aunts and uncles for Christmas that year and I’ve had many requests for more. I haven’t made another one though…kind of afraid that it wouldn’t turn out as good as the first. Anyway, after watching that we then watched the DVD a friend made of my 12 year old sons black belt test back in October.
It was a very good day.
Started out the week good by going to my 6 am boot camp workout class. Today we worked on arms and abs. We used our push up bars to do a multitude of various different push ups that I never thought I could accomplish. Wish I could remember the names of them all…it was amazing to learn that there are so many variations lol. My instructor is leading class at the dojo tonight, too. He doesn’t recommend that we take both the morning and evening class because it is pretty much an identical class. But, we are welcome to do both if we want to. So, I might just take the class tonight too. I’ve got to be at the dojo for my sons class at the same time, and my daughter will be taking the boot camp class this evening. Not sure though…if my muscles are sore from this morning, which so far they really aren’t, I’ll run around that empty lot outside instead. Either way, I’ll be getting in another good workout.

OMG I love that place, they have the best food.
Congrats on quitting smoking and losing weight, lots of people gain. VERY PROUD!!~
So proud of you Catrina! Happy anniversary honey!
Congratulations! You’re doing everything I wish I was doing! I’ll get there - one of these days.
Congratulations on your 4 years! To me that is amazing! And such a nice day you spent with your children!
Awesome!
Congrats to you! And I need to say thanks because you reminded me that today is my 4 year anniversary of being smoke free too! Oh my, it seems alot longer since I flicked my bic for the last time. I smoked all night of the 25th at my birthday party but then threw out my last smoke at 12:01 the 26th. Haven’t touched them since.
