Just a good day! - ThinnerTimes

Ever get one of those days where you stop for a moment and think to yourself "today has been a damn good day!" and you're thankful, and you give yourself that pat on the back.

Gave up smoking last November, in prep for surgery, and apart from one on New Year's eve (after copious amounts of champagne, so wasn't thinking straight!) haven't touched a cigarette since and i've just realised that's two and a half months.

I'm sticking to my pre op diet....and not going crazy thinking about food 24/7!
After a good day at work i've done a cliff walk which blew any cobwebs away, and gave me a view of a great sunset. As a result my pedometer tells me that i've managed 8383 steps today (do you guys the other side of the Atlantic have the 10,000 step thing?).

And i have my surgery in 10 days time!

Yup, today's been a good day

I wish you all such a day

Mind you, i'll proably be back to my usual neurotic self tomorrow!

I'm glad you had a wonderful day! I have had them but not lately and I'm long overdue for one. Congrats on the stopping smoking! I really need to give that a go, but I don't think I'm really ready yet. Since wls, I smoke more since I can't eat! Silly me! Have surgery to get healthy and then ruin the good health with cigarettes!
I hope tomorrow is just as great for you as today was!

Jules even if u have one good day out the week it was a pretty good week. I wish you continued good days and a big smile. Keep this good positive spirit it will help you so much when you are in the hospital.

Hey Amber, thanks for the congrats. Must admit i took some time thinking it through, and figured i'd rather get used to being without the ciggies (and deal with the cravings!) pre-surgery, rather than lose them later when i'm trying to lose the weight. Still crave one most days though...lol.

Sending positive thoughts your way for your overdue good day tomorrow

Well i'll probably be a complete wuss once i get into hospital, but i'll certainly try...lol
Thanks Denise

Thank you for sharing your blessed day. Wish it had been mine, but am so grateful that you had one. Your attitude now will affect how you deal with surgery soon. Oh...and congrats on stopping smoking...I am sure it has been difficult.

Hey Jules - Congrats on stopping smoking. I also quit in November in pre for surgery. I had one about 2 weeks ago - don't know why I smoked the whole thing - it was sooooo gross to me! I am also glad that you had a terrific day
