Let's update this now

(I'm feeling CRAVING!)

Okay!

So, a few weeks ago I set myself the goal of getting fitter, loosing weight and stopping smoking.

Now, those of you who watched the video blog yesterday, will see that I have quit smoking. WOOOOO At long last, but jesus fucking christ I am craving right now more than I've ever craved in my life. Seriously, I've built up a nasty chewing gum addiction. My body is begging itself to have like one cigarette, but I know it wont stop there! So I can't have one, and jesus christ it sucks.

But on the plus side, I now have a resoundingly good sense of smell, and my tastebuds seem to be going back to normal, that and I'm feeling healthier, and sleeping slightly better (who knew!).
I know one thing though.
I feel cleaner!, my god it's so nice waking up in the morning, not tasting of what can only be described as Dog! and clammy from the cigarette smoke and niccotine odours.

Though despite all this... I do actually miss them. I quite enjoyed having a smoke sometimes, and there was something incredibly satisfying and soothing about it. Hm, maybe im trying to convince myself that I want a cigarette, maybe not.... ARGH

So, let's see, what next. AH YES! Fitness!.

The fitness side of things has been going quite well. First off, im walking two miles a day. I'm walking up to the garage which is a mile away and back, at a very fast pace, (to put it bluntly I overtook a jogger), couple that with regular situps and pushups etc etc, I'm generally starting to improve my overall health, weight training and resistance training will start shortly, once my general health has improved and I've lost enough weight so that I can excersize at a non dangerous level. My average heart rate has come down slightly, and whilst my diet hasn't changed much, I am cutting down a little, choosing to eat when I'm hungry, etc. Learning weather I'm having a hunger pang or an "im thirsty" signal, though isn't going so well, I still cant work it out, but on the plus side, my health has generally improved.

Weight:

Although I've lost six pounds, I'm actually going to be a little more modest. My weight is fluctuating by about 4 pounds per day, So I'm actually going to say I've lost only 3 pounds as thats what it's averaging. Still thats good, and my body has started to mobilise the fat and process it! More excersise will start to fix that though, and I look forward to it starting to help me out. I know it wont be untill I start pushing a little with the exersise, that I will start loosing alot of weight, But the biggest hurdle has been overcome. Starting it.

So it's all started, so i decided to do something else.

All my life, I have never once tanned. My skin is pale, and resembles something out of a horror movie. I physically do not tan. I burn, and that is that.

Sunbeds don't work for me, and I refuse to get an all out St. Tropez, it's too dramatic in too short a time.

Instead, I bothered to do the gayest thing possible. I went out and brought body cream with that hint of tan stuff in it. And I'm now using it regularly.

YES I know it was rather gay
YES I know I will never live this down

BUT!

You've got to look healthy havn't you!... And theres nothing more healthy than a little glow.... I think.

Still, at least I don't look like something out of a Brahm Stoker film...
