I quitted smoking, day 4

I noticed that my lungs has start to clear out mucus and other smoking debris, which means that my lungs are starting to heal. I read from various sites that starts within 2-7 days after your last cigarette. For me it took 4 days. Breathing has become more easier now, althought it wasn't that bad in my own opinion at the time when I smoked, but I noticed it's a bit better, mostly due that my stuffed nose is gone away now.

Not a single craving for a cigarette. None after I quitted smoking. That's good and reason why I can quit so easily. I am was not addicted physically. Hardest part is coming on this weekend. If I drink, do I have urge to smoke cigarette? Probably I have a craving for it if I drink. Should I consider not to drink? Maybe, but at least now I don't feel like drinking on weekend. I have so much more energy to do things, thanks to not smoking for four days.

Also I did scale my weight and it was two months ago and I weighted 94,7 kg, today I scaled at 95,1 kg.  So far that I haven't gained any weight, that 0,4 kg goes day-to-day variation. Challenge is to keep it under that, now that my smell and taste senses are back.

Summer is here, but shape isn't.

Well, it's June and I'm back at 90,8 kg. Okay, I've been lazy and had been eating a bit more than I have last autumn and winter. It was expected that I gain few kilos back. But now I have started a new course. Bicycling to work and back. 10 km per direction. That's about 400 kcal per dirction. Around 800 kcal more daily energy consumption. In a week that makes 4000 kcl which translate roughly 0,5 kg per week in weight loss. As I have two months till summer vacation it means I could lose weight about 4-5 kg. So, I'll be updating more often with my progress in here. So till next week, let the sun shine and keep up the work!

Not since...

Okay, had few beers last night with couple friends and when I hit the scale this morning it showed personal low, weight I haven't seen since... well I can't remember when I have last time weighted less than 93 kg. Scale showed 92.6kg! So I have now lost around 7 kg in two months. And I haven't followed any trendy diet, nor exercised any more than usually daily routines. All I have done is eat less. Simple, cheap and working solution. I highly recommend to anyone that can do a bit of "hungry". As I earlier posted I usually eat breakfast after hour or hour and half after I have woken up. Lunch/dinner with modest amount of food. After a while your stomach will reduce in size and you can't eat a lot of food before you are full. Now I have added a "late night snack" on few days per a week. Which consist usually tea and couple of rye bread slice with slice of ham. I have browsed few website for a inspiration to write about this stuff, but mostly I got this trendy shit and has do's and don't's and you have to watch everything that you are going to put in your mouth. There are lots of people that say how they lost their weight with this-and-that diet, but you don't hear those persons that failed with those diets. Why? Because those diets are basically all the same in basic principal. Eat less. Here is a link diet comparison that has also ideal for and not ideal for column. So, you can check it out and see if any of those interests you and you need motivation to lose weight. It really doesn't matter what you are eating or not eating. Your daily intake has to be lower than your daily energy need.
