Running is therapy

I am going to quit smoking. I just tossed out my last smoke. I am going to grab the Commit Lozenges and give it a go. No better time than the present.

I am mostly putting this here to “out” my attempt. I have quit in the past and once for 4 years, only to light up again. Most of the time I try, I don’t say anything to anyone in case I fail, I don’t want to look like a dumb ass. But that just makes it too easy to start up again.

I expect to be in the worst mood of all time, so if I bite your head off, call me on it (but later after this passes :) and I will take you to lunch with my new found money :)

I am going to mark the official quit time as 10 am Saturday February 10, 2007. I expect (as it was in the past) that the first 24 hours will be the worst, and only slightly better for following week. Tough times ahead, hopefully the running and the lozenges can ease some of this.

My official weight the last time I was at the doctors (like a week ago) was 219, on my crappy home scale it came in at 210. I dread the possibility of weight gain, however the running should mitigate that.

I might blog about it if I feel up to it.

Here goes nothing.
