this is my 5th day of not smoking. apparently if you are a moderate smoker the nicotine withdrawal really sucks. ha. the first three days of not smoking my digestive tract freaked out causing a ton of pain and cramping. thankfully that didn't happen again yesterday, but yesterday the crankiness and intense cravings kicked in. my chest has also been really tight and i have been really sleepy, but those symptoms last up to two weeks. as much as it sucks, i feel empowered and don't want to start smoking again. plus if i want to run a half marathon at the beginning of 2014, i have to quit before i train or i will die. i also have to start running this june, since i haven't really ran in many years. fun stuff.
