Getting It All Back Together
Posted on July 28, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood | 1 Comment
Wow! It’s been a really great summer. I suppose I should say it was a really great summer, ’cause mine’s over now. It started early (with the trip to Hard Rock Park’s opening in May) so I suppose it’s only fair that it end early as well. Tomorrow Z boards a plane to visit my mother for two weeks, then she starts school about a week after returning.
Not only did Z and I have some amazing experiences this summer, but…
Smoking Screwup
Posted on May 1, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
Last night (Wednesday) I straight up forgot to put on my new patch. I remembered after I was already in bed, but decided that getting up to change my patch wouldn’t be any better than getting up to have a cigarette. This morning I woke up without the desire to smoke. Around 11am my arm started to itch and I suddenly realized I was stil wearing yesterday’s patch so I removed it and threw it away.
This afternoon I went through…
Dieting And Quitting Smoking DO Mix! Who Knew?
Posted on April 30, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
Despite all of the “common wisdom” out there that says people gain weight when they quit smoking I decided to reisk my forward (or is that downward?) momentum on my weight loss goal by quitting smoking as well. It’s now been 10 days without a cigarette (wow! I actually had to look that up 
) and in that time I’ve lost another 6 pounds! WooHoo!
Yep, I’m finally under the 230 mark . Just barely, but I’m under. Considering I decided…
One Week Tobacco Free - Where’s My Benefits?
Posted on April 27, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
As I type this message I will be passing the one week (7 days / 168 hours / 10080 minutes) mark since I last smoked a cigarette. And all I want to know is where are the benefits?!? Last night Z and I went out for a seafood dinner. Neither my senses of taste nor smell seemed any better then the last time I ate seafood. I walked around today for about an hour and got just as winded coming up…
72 Hours Tobacco Free - An Apology
Posted on April 23, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
I passed the 72 hour mark without smoking a cigarette a few short minutes ago. Overall today was definitely easier than yesterday. But it still had its challenges.
The morning started with the return commute to San Jose to finish getting Rover smogged (I promise to post my rant on this tomorrow), but this time I hit major traffic. After being essentially parked on 101 for about 40 minutes I was incredibly grateful that my remaining smokes were in my desk drawer at…
Approaching 48 Tobacco Free Hours - Getting Edgy
Posted on April 22, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
With my weight loss deadline looming a mere 15 days away I decided to up the ante a bit and stop smoking as well. Note that I did not say “I’m trying to quit smoking again” or anything like that. I was very specific: I have stopped smoking.
While returning fro dropping off Z on Sunday I knew the time had come. I decided to finish off the day and slap a nicotine patch on when I went to bed. I…
