Right, so. Apparently this no smoking thing (81 weeks free!) has rubbed off in other areas. I've started eating healthier and trying to get rid of the bad stuff. So far I've gone from a 12pack of Mt. Dew a day, to Lipton Peach Iced Tea and water only. Still can't go without the tea and be headache free, but it's a major improvement.

I've also been using my new kitchen to cook dinner every night. I love allrecipes.com. They have a recipe box, and it'll compile a shopping list for you. The shopping list lets you add and change the items really easily too.

I've apparently become domestic. My husband likes to tease me, because even a year ago I wouldn't have believed I would whip up a batch of muffins* so CB could grab one for breakfast on his way to work. I mean 'whip up a batch'? I barely knew how to make hard boiled eggs a year ago.

The only negative I can see is that I've gained about 30lbs since I quite smoking. Some from the quitting and some from the full meals. I need to go buy some new pants. Most of the pants that still fit are from my baggy grunge high school days and are almost 8 years old at this point.

*I used this recipe and added 2 smallish bananas mashed, and a 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips. They are so yummy. I'm going to try blueberry next.
