Cold turkey? Nah, stale Swedish Fish.

Jul 13, 2014

Tonight, old man, you did it! 

You did it! You did it!

You said that you would do it,

and indeed you did.

I thought that you would rue it; I doubted you'd do it.

But now I must admit it that succeed you did.

I gave up the cigs.  I love food, but I think I love cigarettes more.  I know I had to quit and I've been half-assed trying for the past few months. Look I was a two pack a day guy and got down to a pack lasting three days.  That pretty impressive an accomplishment in three short months.  Long story short, I got some crazy summer flu  last week and was down for the count for a few days.  Not having smoked while sick, I figured now was as good a time as any to stop--and my brand going up 2bucks to over 7 a pack helped too.  My problem now is finding something to do with my hands. If I did that it would be rubbed raw(I knew you were going straight to the gutter, I just happened to be there waiting for you). Anyway, I've taken to attacking Swedish Fish. My trip to Costco didn't help with that. I really was only looking for gum but that yellow box of deliciousness jumped right off the shelf and into my cart along with the Trident. I find that when I'm really craving a ciggy, I go straight for a bag of fish. I've given up one habit for another. Once they're gone, I shan't buy more and I'll stick with the gum. I hope to hell this insurance approval comes through quickly I have a big ole 5 pound jug o Whey Isolate staring at me.  Premiere Protein is on sale this cycle too, in Maryland anyway.  I can't stomach it. I find the Optimum Nutrition powder is palatable in Chocolate.  That's on sale at Costco too, 50 dollars...
