Day 12 - Sun and Vitimins


83.6 Kilos

My weight has been exactly the same each morning this week. Very unusual, normally there are small fluctuations between one day and the next.

It's sunny weather today and will be in the 30's (90's F). I have a full day but I am getting a few hours of pool time in this morning. I read that when one quits smoking one absorbs antioxidants better so a healthy diet is even healthier.

The benefits of not smoking are becoming more evident as each day passes.
The desire to have a smoke is becoming weaker but still there, nagging like the noise of street traffic generally one does not notice it after time. Now I can say that the benefits and the desires are coming into balance. It makes it much easier to find the power to resist temptation.

I am really noticing improvement in my breathing and breath capacity.

I am sure that as time goes by I will forget how bad smoking was making me feel and not realize how much better I actually feel as a non smoker. For the moment my improved health makes it easier for me to keep away from the cigarettes.

I found an "Effects of Smoking Chart". It is very good to help one see many of the medical effects.

I had an hours swim at lunch time and a good work out in the gym this afternoon. I treated myself to a nice steak dinner and a cinnamon and ginger ice cream cone. I got some opera tickets for next week. Tomorrow: pool time at lake Garda.
