three weeks plus

smoke free for almost a month. woot! *does the matt dance*

weird things happen to you when you drop a daily habit of 16 years overnight:
- i get “high” for no reason at no specific pattern of time (mildly irritating)
- gain loads of kgs in 3 weeks (not unexpected due to replacing food whenever i wanna smoke, but a little irritating)
- i get breathless easily  (bloody irritating, one would expect that your breathing would improve with smoking cessation)

exam season is upon us again. a week more to the paper and i’ve only convered half of the text. heh.

two week mark | firefox 3

two weeks smoke free-ness. i think it’s longest i’ve been without a single puff of the straight tube of tobacco. i have to say that its been a little easier this time round, through i have to thank loads of junk food that helped keep away the urge. that equates to a two kilo weight gain in two weeks…damn now i need to start running again.

meanwhile….

5 days

stay away from coffee – check.
hide the lighters – check.
throw away whats left of the pack – check.
when in need, eat something – check.

its only been 5 days but i think I am nearing to being the new stay-puff marshmallow man with all the junk food that I stuff my face with – what the hell else can one do to stop yourself running down to get a pack of smokes!?

the real test of it all would be at work starting tomorrow. three quarters of the team are Marlboro men (minus the horses, gallon hat, boot and spurs) and we usually have bi-hour smoke breaks. hmmm………
