Today is the 18th, and I have set the day to quit smoking for the 21st.
I ordered a book from amazon that someone suggested to me. It should be here in tomorrow or the next day. I paid for faster shipping.
I am excited and scared to quit smoking.. I have smoked since I was 17 years old and have always used it as a back fall for other things. But not at this time in my life I am just outright ADDICTED! And I am ready to Quit!
I have lost almost 30 pounds on La Weight loss.. and still have about 60 pounds more to loss so one thing I am scared about quiting smoking is the possibility of gaining weight or staying at the same weight. I am hoping since I am eating right and I think I have pretty good motivation to say on my eating plan( I have not cheated once! the whole time I have been doing LAWL) that I will continue to lose weight.
I will talk to my Dr today to see if it is OK for me to use the Nicorette patch, which I am pretty sure it is I ask my other dr about it a few years ago and she said it was fine. I also want to ask if he will allow me to increase my Wellbutrin to 300mg a day instead of the 150mg I am on now to aid in the cravings. I will be picking up the patch at costco today when we go :)
DH Byron tells me he wants to quick for a while now.. for his own reasons one being Life insurance.. It is pretty expensive being a 40 year old smoker and his policy is only for I think 125K I think he can get a policy for 500K for the same price if he quits smoking. He tells me he does not need the patch or any help at all that he can do it cold turkey.. mind over matter he says..He doesn't smoke 3/4 a pack like me so maybe he can. At the most during the day he smokes like 5 or 6. But he still NEEDS them I think. So we well see . I think the book will help him.

I have joined A LOT of other DST girls in a little game/challenge.. it is called the Biggest loser Digi Style. It officially starts on Monday. It should be fun :D
I have made lots of Lo the last week. You can see them in my Digi Chick or SBB gallery. I will post a few here for you to look at :D











Have a great day!!

Sorry again for not posting in so long.. I am the worst blogger!!!
I have not really been designing too much lately becuase when fall rolls around I get down when we lose sunlight. It always messes up my medication.

My weight loss is going good. I go in for my weigh-in tomorrow at La Weightloss. I have now been going there 12 weeks and have lost 25 pounds!

I made this Lo today to record my weightloss. I used some of Jen Wilsons stuff I bought durring her sale a few days ago.. Could not pass up a good sale :P Also the LO above it is a Lo I made last week, I used a paper by Amy teets.


I also made this LO of Bella yesterday. Again I used a kit by Jen wilson. Just LOVVVEEEE her stuff. I have almost everything she has made to date LOL I wish there was more time in the day so I could use it all LOL The LO is of my Sweet Bella... That is how I greet her every morning when I wake her up.. I also greet gillian by saying Good morning Sunshine :P So they both get special greeting :D

I hope I will be feeling better soon so that I can get back to designing. I think I might ask my dr to increase my wellbutrin.. I think that might help.. till then.. I have more time to take photos and scrap when I feel up to it :P

Have a great night!!
