Break from smoking?

Well, it has been now five days without a single smoke. I don't crave for it, not at all. I have always known that for me it's just a distraction, social event, pause etc. So, how long I am going to go without smoking? Don't really know, since I am not giving myself any ultimatum about quitting completely but rather giving an option not to smoke, at all. If I someday want a smoke, then I smoke and I don't feel guilty about it.

Now that this Corona / Covid-19 virus has put everyone in a lockdown and washing their hands like there is no tomorrow, it is a good break from smoking since it elevates a person in to risk group to get sick with that virus.

It's refreshing to have a "reason" not to smoke. For me it's not that much a reason but an observation for some of my friend circle.

Happy Easter.

New year and new rule!

So far my quitting smoking has gone good. Three relapses only, when I was drunk, because Lemmy died and his funeral.

Earlier this week I did measure my weight and that wasn't big suprise: 96,9 kg. On holiday we did eat good and a bit too much. Sure enough it hasn't been that cold either. I just read arcticle from about two years ago about how shivering may burn more fat than exercising. It isn't a big suprise that you would burn more fat when you are out in the cold that inside warm. Athletes that exercise outdoors have to eat more than athletes that exercise indoors because their bodies need to also keep body warm, so extra fat needs to be converted in to heat. 

So it's time to start exercising outdoors for more fat burning and losing weight. Only downside of this is that it's cold outside. Which can be managed by correctly dressing up, but then you won't get that much of extra fat burning.
