It has been a week since I last had a taste of nicotine and last night the cravings were bad. I tried the tried and true method of eating carrots sticks and drinking ice cold water but to no avail. I then decided I would have a can of tomato soup with crackers and that seemed to do the trick. Unfortunately, I ended up having a simple carbohydrate, which I have been avoiding for nearly 2 months. Today my goal is to find good, healthy alternatives to simple carbs and nicotine to get me through the worst of the worst cravings.
It is a gorgeous, sunny day here in The Annapolis Valley, in Nova Scotia. The sun is high and shining, but it deceives even the most experienced of our citizens. It is a cold morning. I went for a walk nearly an hour ago and the temperature was a balmy -10 C, but feels more like -15 C with the wind chill. It is still a nice day out, the calm before the storm. I will have to get up early again tomorrow morning to get out for a walk, if I can. If I can’t, then I will shovel my walkway, since we are on the verge of yet another Wednesday blizzard. I don’t know about you, but I am pretty damn sick and tired of snow.
Well, time to get some work done around here. Until next time, think of a way to kill those midnight cravings. There must be a healthy way of going about it without having to always eat carrot sticks. Ciao.
