No Smoking .....

Thats it, I have had enough of the Little Nicotine stick taking over my life........well this could be true for most people, but for me its not.....

I have been on this wonderful get healthy and stay fit regime.... all to do with the doctor telling me that one day i will die.....wait there doc.... so will everyone else....

I have high Cholestral, i need to stop eating fat.... good god.... no more cream cakes, no more Lattes...argghhhhhh...

anyway i digress, with all of this Healthy eating and the gym work i have been doing, i though, in my wisdom.. that giving up smoking will also help.... why do i do this to myself.....

So, i went to our local no smoking Clinic to see what they could do to help, rip off my arms or something similar, they suggested Nicotine replacement or a Drug called champix that acts on the Nicotine receptors in the brain to help you not actually want nicotine... hey they sound great... do they do them for cream cakes ;)

So...... 13 days into the treatment..... I have not had a cigarette for 8 days, my health is improving, i can smell the difference between people who smoke and don't smoke.... unfortunatley the cravings for the cream cakes still haven't gone away....

In the past 6 weeks since the doctors diagnosis i have lost 1 stone (14lbs) in weight, my body fat has reduced from 33% (Yes a third of me was blubber) to 26% and i have stopped smoking.... GOD HELP TINA !!!! I MUST BE REALLY SHIT TO LIVE WITH.....

My darling wife thank you for putting up with my moods (Nothing new) and for giving me you unconditional love.... I love you right back XX

oops need to get back to work..... bye for now
