No More Blips For Now........

It's hard to think that if I hadn't have had them ciggies last Thursday night, I would be 1 whole calendar month off the ciggies!

Now that one night hasn't bothered me in the way I thought.  I thought I would be back on them full time, or would be craving like mad, but like I said in my last blog post, it is the complete opposite.  Not one craving, and not even a thought about having a ciggie!

Now the running is still on the back burner.  2 weeks today since my last run, and I'm still suffering with a chesty cough and bunged up nose.  13 years of smoking and I was never this ill!  The perks of quitting I guess.

I've also decided that enough is enough on the diet front, and I'll have to be tough on myself.  I'm back to nearly 16.5 stone!!!  The new year slimming world campaign will start on the 1st January.  I WILL be 14 stone by this time next year!

As always, it's been a pleasure.  Take care.

Gutted.......

Well last night did NOT go to plan!

It was probably the biggest party ever held in the squadron bar.  Everyone was there and the beer was in full flow.  So the setting was set, and to be honest with you all I ended up having 3 or 4 ciggies over the course of the night.

Today, not one craving, and not generally bothered, and as my memory slowly reveals the events of last night as if I've been connected to a slow releasing memory drip, the ciggies tasted awful and I can 100% state that I DID NOT enjoy them!

So for now, its a long drip down the imaginary snake, from 25 days to just about 11 hours (started the app from start of work this morning).  Hopefully there is a ladder round the corner and I can win this game of snakes and ladders on the way to being smoke free.

So, in summary, a lesson learned.  Cigarettes taste awful, and you will regret having one.  I actually think I'm glad I had the experience last night, so that I know I don't ever want another one again.

Cheers.
