Packing and Moving

We're moving this week and started the actual move yesterday. It's chaos, but it's great! By this time next week we will be completely moved out and into our new home. As for me I'm doing just fine. I have a lot going on and it keeps me really busy which is helpful. I have very few urges here and here in the evening, but they usually pass quickly. Every once in a while I have something that just won't let me go which causes a slide in my attitude. I had that feeling on Friday, but honestly its not often, it's an irritant, but you can ride it out and I've noticed after the urges are gone the next ones are always significantly weaker. If you recall I wrote about why we get these cravings after even after you have quit for a while and why the urges tangibly diminish and become permanently less severe after a little episode.

I've recently started to become mindful of my eating habits as I was getting a bit out of control and a little tubby too. I'm at seven weeks now and around the four to eighth weeks period people usually stop gaining weight so it should be safe to at least begin to be mindful of eating at this point. There are lots of good things going on in my body. I took a yoga class yesterday and I had full breath. My yoga classes are quite vigorous and people often loose breath in class, so this was something for me to take note of. I am running two miles three times a week. I have not been able to break the two mile mark, but I am running with greater strength and stride. I keep forgetting to put the patch on so I am just making sure I have one around just case I have a weak moment. So far so good, now I just have to lose the weight I gained and I'll be a happy little non-smoker!
