So seeing as life had thrown me a curve ball, I decide I might as well jump in with both feet. About a week ago, I decide that I’m going to quit smoking… and go on a diet… at the same time… without a chitload of planning… or nicotine patches… or consultation with anyone with a medical degree… or much forethought at all.
Well guess what. It’s going swimmingly.
I dumped the weed with nary a problem at all. Now Bumpy and TNT may tell you that I was one grouchy sonufabitch for a few days… or still, but I’m convinced that it’s simply a marketing issue. Maybe I can get on board with Simcoe County and make use of their $250K consultants. Maybe not. But the point is, I dumped the smokes, and although I still psychologically crave them, physically they’re history. It’s all very weird, because before, if I didn’t have a smoke for a few hours, I’d start shaking like a dog crapping razor blades. Strange.
Now the food is even weirder. I’m using this diet software thats kinda cool. It’s called DietPower. It’s not half bad. And I’ve dropped about 5 pounds already, which is making Bumpy just friggin crazy. I’m not even hungry. I’ve come to the realization that half of what I ate before came through my gut not becasue I was hungry, but because I was bored. So as long as I keep logging my food, and don’t start pondering my navel lint instead of getting chit done, I should be fine.
136000 of these can not have been good for me.
Starting weight: 199 lbs. Today’s weight: 194 lbs. Target weight: 159 lbs (May 31, 2010)
Still no smokes since October 25th.
