Day Two - out and about

So I had to hit up Hamilton today for CTscan! I asked my momma bear if she wanted to come with me and we would hit up some thrift shops for her blue mountain pottery.  She was game!  We started our way to Hamilton at 9:30.  By noon she had acquired several pieces and I had done tons of walking.
Because I was going to be gone for the day I couldn't have my shake for lunch, I decided to have my shake for breakfast  and omg it was soooo good.  I make mine with yoghurt and the Caribbean fruit medley.  Its sooo delicious!  For lunch I was good.  I went to subway and had a six inch sub.  Dave made me a really nice spinach salad and lemon chicken for dinner.  So it sounds like I breezed through day two right - WRONG!  Let me tell you I was jonesing for a coke soooo bad.  I had this horrific headache when I was in the waiting room.  When they told me they were going to put an IV in I was probably more pissed than usual because of the headache!  It took everything inside me not reveal my frustration.  I had to lay there still while my arms where above my head cutting off the oxygen supply.  When it was all over, instead of waiting to see if I had a reaction to the dye I hiked my arse back to the car where my poor mother had been hanging out in for the last two hours.  I wanted nothing more than to get the heck out and have the coldest can of coke I could find. Instead, in that rooftop parking spot, I was stuck.  The car battery was dead.  Thankfully we were able to get a  boost rather quickly (thank you dear stranger).  So we head down the parking garage to the gate.  The gate that will not open.  The stupid ticket machine now wants three more dollars on top of the 12 I had just paid.  I pushed that help button like nobody's business.  Thankfully they freed me.  I started to cough and without a word my mother hands me a water bottle - I chugged that in seconds flat.  She handed me a digestive cookie.  Ahhh cookies soothes the savage soul.  I thought better of my choice to have a cold can of coke and headed home.

I was like this late last night -  jonesing pretty bad last night during biggest loser for a cold coke!  and I was famished!  I did give in and had some trail mix (yes Sue I ate bird food).  I don't think I struggled like this when I quit smoking!  I am just trying to be conscientious of my choices and I know its going to be rough.   I am literally taking this step by step.  I just wish it was an easier path.  But as the saying goes, "Nothing good comes easy".
