Like a Train...

Hi X!
Congratulations!
You had a nasty temptation, and you kicked ash! This events make us stronger! So I want to congratulate you! You are almost done with Heck Week! Thats a great achievement!
This process is long and challenging but also rewarding! So hang on; you just have to defeat one smoking tought at a time. Your body is nicotine free; the only addiction left is the mental one. If I can do it, you can do it.!

cvdeb has 14 days smoke free!

Congratulations Deb!!!
You made it trough Heck Week!
And about your gas pump incident...... well it's funny because you have insurance! I thimk the nicodemon hides our brain cells or send them to sleep. I still feel a little slow in the brain department. I'm hoping to get my IQ back!!(lol)
You are doing great and I'm really happy for you. And now it's all about beating the smoking thoughts. The good thing is that we just have to do it one tought at a time.
Congratulations on your two weeks of freedom!!!!

addiction

Yes Deb!!
I'm adicted to cranberry-pomegranate organic juice! I can drink one gallon a day! And if I consider I don't have enough,I will get anxious like when you look at your cigarrettes and see that you just have the exact amount to get trough the night!!
But I guess is a better addiction!
Maybe we have an addictive personality!
I'm also into gardening, and  right now, my daffodils and tulips are in full bloom; Because my hometown  climate is not suited for those bulbs, I have to buy the bulbs in august and put them in the fridge until january and then I plant them
And about your weight, wow, that is great!!!
Miss Marple
We use a lot of cilantro in mexican cuisine, and here is a great healthy snack:
I diced avocado
16 oz lowfat cottage cheese
a bunch of cilantro leaves (chopped)
salt and pepper to taste
1 small green tomato diced
You just mix everything and you serve this with lowfat crackers mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!
 
 
Cilantro salad dressing:
olive oil
cilantro leaves (chopped)
white vinager
salt and peper
1 small egg
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
 
In  a blender put the egg,vinager (1/4 cup) a pinch of salt and pepper and the mustard. Turn on the blender and mix for one minute; then add 1/2 cup olive oil slowly, like when you do a mayo, until the mix has the desired consiteny (lighter than a mayo). It can be less oil, you just stop when it's thick enoug for a dressing!
