This effort to quit smoking all boils down to my 2009 goals. My 2009 goals are:
- Quit smoking
- Lose weight (I bought Alli over the weekend so I am hoping that in conjunction with my running three miles a day will really boost this goal)
- Get pregnant
- Save more money
- Keep up with my blog
Hmmm....after reading my goals, I realize those are some pretty damn lofty goals. Shit!! However, I want to accomplish these goals in a certain order. Clearly, I want to quit smoking before I get pregnant. It's just a nasty but hard habit to break but I feel more commited than ever. I also bought the Nicorette gum and almost puked after I chewed once...and I even got the mint flavored. GROSS!! However, I was sporting the patch and reading the Nicorette pamphlet and it said not to use the patch in conjunction with the gum. And although the freakin gum cost $70, I was glad to hear I didn't have to do both.
And, I would like to lose some of the excess weight I've put on before I get pregnant too. But yes, Jon and I are very excited to get pregnant this year. I got some good advice from a friend, MacKenzie, to not stress about it and just enjoy trying:) It sounds like great advice to me so I am going to follow it to the letter.
I really thought we would wait longer to start trying but over the last few months, Jon and I have talked about this topic ad nauseum and feel we're ready!! I mean Jon is one big kid to begin with so I feel like I've already got some experience with children. So, I'll keep everyone posted on that front.
As I am writing this, I am watching Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (gee - I'll be ready to go back to work tomorrow) and Sue Ellen is smoking a cigarette and I got a little misty-eyed. This blows!
Anyway, Jon and I had our dining room and living room painted over the holidays and we just love the colors. If you remember the heinous wallpaper in the dining room, you would know why that crap was the bane of my existence so I am glad it's gone. Check out the pics!!!
Okay, so I am committed to blogging much more often now. Maybe I'll blog every time I crave a cigarette (if that's the case, I might have anywhere from 7 - 10 posts a day:).

Hey Hey fellow blogger! Welcome back!
And I am SO EXCITED to hear the pregnancy news! I mean, I am kind of sad to lose one of my last smoker buds, but if it helps to make a little Mittelbronn then I'm on board! Ha Ha! Congrats!
Oops...so excited about the baby news that I forgot to comment on the paint - Looks awesome! Your dining room looks completely different!! Great colors!
Thanks, Stace!! Yes, we are excited about the pregnancy news too. And I hate to abandon a fellow smoker but ya know how it goes. I am glad you like the colors. Yes - the dining room looks like a completely room, right?
Hey! I am glad you are back at it! yippee! I am into this right now, but I am sure like you I will lose interest eventually. But I am at the moment 16 days in a row, so that is pretty impressive for me! give me two months though, and being a mother of two may put a kink in the daily blog! anyway, keep down the stress and up the fun of working on pregnancy. like i said i remember how it can consume you, but do your best to keep it at bay! also congrats on quitting smoking.... that is awesome! :) (and i love the paint.... the dining room looks great!)
