Number of hours that my body has been free of the nasty affects of smoking cigarettes: 24
Amount of money saved since last cigarette: $7.50.
Remaining amount of money needed until I have saved enough "cigarette money" to fly to Florida: $242.50.
Oh and today will be day number three of working out! Happy me!

Quote of the Day
"We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same." – Carlos Castaneda
I started this one off with a Quote of the Day from SparkPeople. I read these every day and only occasionally does one really stand out. This one did. It makes sense, doesn't it? Yes, it does.
I have been MIA for soooo long that I almost decided to ditch the Blog. Then I decided that it's a good outlet for me and I'm going to keep ot going! I'll start from where I left off because a lot of exciting things have happen since then which is mostly the reason I've been too busy to find the energy to blog! :) I'll give you some photos that will give you a clue as to what's coming really soon!
Addisyn!

Quote of the Day
"What is important is to keep learning, to enjoy challenge, and to tolerate ambiguity. In the end there are no certain answers."– Matina Horner
Today's quote is brought to you by the letters L and K. Those of you that know me very well may or may not know what that stands for. We'll keep it that way for now!
I am off to the gym right now. See ya later!!

Healthy Reflection.
Here's another instalment from one of my frequently visited websites SparkPeople.com
Are You Taking Life Too Seriously?
When was the last time your doctor told you to stay home and watch "Seinfeld"? Or suggested a night out at the circus? Or told you to play fetch with a dog? It probably hasn't happened, but the day may not be far off. Laughter and fun are great ways to break down the walls of stress, preventing both mental and physical damage. Play time loosens up joints constricted by tension and poor posture. It brightens your attitude and is a healthy outlet for the most troubled thoughts. Even during our time off, it seems like we still spend a lot of time working--as a handyman, chauffer, mechanic, negotiator, therapist, cook, activist, or whatever is called for. Next time you're starting to feel the strain, think about how long it's been since you just played for the fun of it. It might be longer than you think. Then go buy yourself a toy.
So, if they say we spend our off time being a therapist, activist and negotiator then I'm screwed because I do that at work too! :/ I just take things in stride. I sometimes think people *coughmysupervisorcough* resent me because I treat every "crisis" with smooth confidence and I rarely, if ever, crumble under pressure. I can't help it! That's how I roll. Because, as I always say, life is too short to take it so seriously and you can't live a good life unless you laugh...at almost everything!! To celebrate that philosophy I took today off! I am going to enjoy a "Mental Health Day". Carpe Diem!

I'm cheating..

Quote of the Day
"We are not what we know but what we are willing to learn."
– Mary Catherine Bateson
I finally went to see the Personal Trainer yesterday! I really like this guy. He's easy to talk to and knows just how far to push me. I was a tad irritated with the fact that he made me work my legs so much. Guh. The top of my legs hurt so bad right now that I can barely walk. What's the point of torturing the shit out of me to the point that I can't move enough to work out this morning? Everything is stiff. Frig. I guess that's the point of a personal trainer? I agree except for the fact that I'm pissed that I can't move enough to walk over to the gym today. My main problem is consistency. If I don't make it over there today~ forget about it. I guess I'm angry? At him. Not myself because I have proved in the not so distant past that I can stick to an exercise program and lose weight without working out till the point that I can't move!! I am not whining...I am BITCHING!

Not for the easily offended.
I sometimes cringe when I hear the name Sarah Silverman...but I have to admit this is pretty funny...
