I quitted smoking, day 13.

Friday, 13th! Well my 13th day without smoking. And today is a housewarming party but I am not going as I don't really want to get drunk, and second of all I don't want to tease my non-smoking habit. I feel fine, except that stuffed nose still bothering me and mucus still coming from my lungs.

It has been good run for now and I am getting use to this feeling again that I don't have to smoke at every time there is a pause or still moment. Mostly I have replace it with playing with my smartphone but I did that already when I was waiting for a bus and had a smoke. It's just the same, except not smoking.

Plans for weekend is to go to garage and do something to my car.

I quitted smoking, day 8

Woohoo! I made a week without smoking! Hooray for me! Wife was at party and I drove her to there and also picked up her at middle of night and as she was leaving she had her last smoke before we drove home. It smell awful as she sat next to me. There is good thing about this, that as smoking smells so horrible it don't give me any ideas of smoking myself one cigarette. I repells me from smoking which is of course a good thing. Now I just wish my wife could have that same inner strenght to quit smoking. I know that I won't be so easy as my cold turkey quitting smoking, but she knows how to handle that, since last time in spring when we quitted, which turned out to be a bit longer pause, she used chewing tobacco. Nicorette aerosol and nicotine chewing gums are bad choices as one is expensive and other gives her jaws a too much stress and that leads to headaches.

I quitted smoking, day 7

I didn't drink as I had to much to do and had to drive a car later in the night too. That went well then. Tonight I am also driving so I won't be drinking and less tease to smoke. I think I might get over smoking while drinking as time passes by. Since I don't have a physical addiction to it, it ain't that bad to resist it while drinking. Of course I am going to miss that small and fast "high" when you smoke your first cigarette when you drink alcohol. After all it ain't that much of a "high" and it won't enchance drinking at all after that first smoke.

Mucus still coming and but not so much as in the begining. I am not irretable at all. I have noticed that now that my sense of smell is getting better I can smell my wifes smoking about hour later. Even if she has brushed her teeth. I don't remember that I had this good sense of smell earlier in my life at all. Has my sense of smell getting better due aging?

Losing weight steadily.

It has been seven months since I started losing weight. At the end of August I weighted 99 kg. I didn't plan to lose weight back then, but after I noticed that I had to tighten my belt on my jeans I started scaling my weight. I do scaling in the morning after morning pee almost every day. There was a story about study that those people that scaled their weight more often than those how didn't scale that often, lose more weight. That's probably because those you try to lose weight do scale their weight more often. I haven't kept any written records about my weight loss but in seven months I have lost 9 kg! Over 1 kg per month. As I scaled in the morning I weighted 90.4 kg and a bit later I did take morning shit scale read 89.8 kg, so that dump was 0.6 kg. My weight has been around 91-92 kg for awhile now and last weekend I hit 90.5 kg and I knew that won't hold for a week. During this week I scaled every morning my weight and it was between 91-92 kg. But now it has been second time in a week that my weight has been below 91 kg which could mean I am breaking that 90 kg barrier for good shortly.
