4 days and feeling good
I'm 4 days down cold turkey without a smoke. I actually feel quite good.
I understand I can't get ahead of myself as I am still in the 'feel good honeymoon stage' but I am feeling positive.
I have been eating clean and drinking a lot of water. I also purchased a 30 visit membership to the local indoor pool and have been swimming 1km each night after work. Maybe I still do have some decent fitness? Lol
As many have said before it's important to KEEP BUSY. I've cooked 3 big vegetable lasagnes and put them in the freezer. Cooking healthy foods keeps me busy and they aren't to bad to eat.
That's where I am at for the moment. I love this site and will keep posting and reading everyone's experiences.
Fight the good fight everyone
Well done, that's the way! Keep healthy, be healthy, stay healthy. Well done 4 days is fantastic. You seem to be totally aware of the honeymoon stage but to be honest I did it cold turkey too and other than a couple of confused moments, I've been fine. Those moments seemed to pass by and I was fine again. You're doing brilliantly, keep posting and have some sugar-free gum on hand just in case.
Hi Boydwilliam2
Am impressed with your post. Good to see you are channeling your energy into eating and exercising. Glad you love this site as much as I do. Never would have made it through 439 days without what the subscribers on this site offer. This kind of support is not available everywhere. We are so lucky to have found ourselves here.
wow 1km in the pool I was a fit young man and that was a challenge then well done !!
but yes eat and exercise I keep hearing it and am now doing it down with the sugar up with the low carbs and gotta get that blood pressure down !! didn't quit smoking to die from weight related disease.
good inspiration.
