I've really had a bit of a kick-ass week so far when it comes to personal goals and whatnot. I don't mean to brag but one accomplishment honestly...I think is worth bragging about.

I haven't had a single cigarette since Sunday

I didn't breathe a single hint that I was quitting (note: again) until today. I think that instinct was right; to be honest, I'm proud of myself and think I should be and should share this accomplishment, but on the other hand I think as a result I'm thinking about cigarettes/smoking way more than I would have been. In other words today has been the most trying day out of the 3. I thought about picking up a pack at the drugstore earlier. I didn't.

I also haven't had a single drop of alcohol since Sunday (while the goals to "quit smoking" and "drink less" are separate, I've done both enough to realize that quitting smoking was only going to be infinitely harder with each unit of alcohol I drank, especially at the beginning - alcohol tends to tempt cigarette smoking out of even the dilettantes, I find), I've worked at the office every day this week (and done real work while there), I've stuck to my meal plan, I've hit my step goal every single day, and basically have just been really soberly On Top Of My Shit! with clappy hands emojis in between each word.

It is great to see that I can streak achieving all these goals for 3 days. Now - just to keep on keepin' on --

here is to happiness, and here is to health, hubski. cheers.
