Or as they say down south, "soy una CHAMP"

So!  How's it going?  Well, I'm trying this new thing where I am less sedentary and I, what do you call it... do... things?  Bear with me, it's all so new.

The biggest thing I'm doing I suppose would be the half-marathon training program, which would be running.  A lot of running.  We've only done one session so far but I feel pretty safe in saying there will be a lot more running involved.  Let me clarify something here: I hate running.  You know "I love you like a fat kid loves cake?"  Well that fat kid is me, and I love cake as much as I hate running.  But hating my life for half an hour twice a week is better than eating pop tarts in bed* and being blasé about life all the time.  I've even gone running by myself outside of the training program!  Okay, only once, but seeing as there's only been one training run so far I am doubling my running.  This is because I am a champ.

Yup, that's about it!  Oh yeah, and tomorrow makes 3 weeks without a cigarette (again, champ).


*not that I've ever done that.  Ever.  And if you tell anyone I have I will deny it SO hard.

I'm a quitter, how do you like me now?

Today at 4pm marked 24 hours of yours truly being cigarette-free! 

Granted, 24 hours is not very long, especially since I was asleep for about 7 of them, but it's the longest I've gone without smoking for 5 years.  And when you consider that I didn't have my usual leaving-work cigarette, my just-woke-up cigarette, or my smoke-break-with-Jerry cigarette, I think I'm doing alright!  And if I can quit smoking, then I don't have to stress about how I'll survive long meetings, feel like a jerk when I pass kids on the street, or worry about looking like this when I'm 30.

So, any advice?  My plan so far includes taking Chantix, and probably annoying the good folks at 1-800-QUIT-NOW ("I don't need to smoke, but I want to smoke, wahhh").  But any other tips are welcome!
