Hang tough Praxin, your stats look AWESOME and this beach party is ROCKIN!
I had a thought the other day that may make things easier on you cos it really helped me put things into perspective:
It's a heck of a lot easier to continue NOT doing something than it is to START doing something new.
I wrote one of my mini novels ;) about it here:

This has been a very hard weekend but my husband was away on business all week right through the weekend and I believed that was what it was all about and I still think that but last night I had a nightmare that I smoked! The dream went like this...I was sitting at a table which was cluttered talking to someone and took a cigarette out of a pack which were laying on the table near me and lit it up, my husband looked at me in shock and I looked at the cigarette in my hand and then my gaze went to my daughter who was crying because I was smoking, I tried to explain it away that I didn't even realize I had lit a cigarette or was smoking...end of dream.
Well, the dream made me realize that at any time I could falter and what I dreamed could actually happen if I don't keep my guard up, but damn I'm tired of constantly fighting this even though I don't want a cigarette, they stink horrible when I smell them and it's disgusting to walk by the coats on the way back from break at work to smell the cigarette smoke lingering on the coats from the smokers. I won't give in but some days it's so hard, I just hate fighting this all the time it never seems to get better; oh yea for a short time then it's back again. Anyway I needed to vent! Thanks for having a place for me to vent!

Hey, Anna! I'm here!
I was busy with a huge report for work so I haven't been around much in the past week or so. It's good to be back though![center]

Hey Audrey, I have noticed your quit meter and the amount of money that you saved. I was going to ask you how much you spent on each pack compared to mine...After I typed out the question it occured to me that it really doesn't matter!

Let's talk about something else that is more interesting, like the weather!

Hi Anna,
Yeah it is a special week. I get to hit the beach tomorrow. We will be celebrating all day since it is also my daughters 5th birthday. Party at our house.
I agree the days go by so fast. I remember thinking, jeez it will take forever to get to the beach. I now know how my kids feel. :p LOL
Got to run and get on my bikini. Have a great week everyone. See ya on the beach.
