Day 4 and very stressful

Its been four days.. and possibily the first time iam feeling a bit of an urge. But fighting it. Guess more than the smoke, it the idea of getting a break from the routine that kills. But a few minutes of killing time is for sure not worth the payoffs!! check the pic.

63 hours and feeling great!

Been hanging in there really strong. And feel great about it....ive had none of the smoking pangs so far. Apparantly, my nerve endings will start regrowing now and my ability to smell and taste improves.

39 Hours and Going Strong!

Been a while since i dropped in here. In fact i had so much to write about Sudan as well, but did nothing of it.

And yes, its been 39 hours since ive had a cigarette! And this time, its going to be quits for good. Iam using a bit of help from Novaratis - their 2 mg nicotine chewing gums. When the desire really bites in, the gum really helps.

1) They says that by now my heart rate and blood pressure levels drop and the carbon monoxide levels in my body gets back to normal. Good! Looking forward.
2) Yesterday i did 4 km on in 29 minutes on the tread. I guess in a week, i should be able to make 5 km in that time!
3) My lips and skin feel softer.
4) I feel much calmer and less stressed that normal, low anxiety and am able to focus better.
5) Thought i got a little constipated. Dont know if its because of the kinda food ive been eating or my quitting.
6) And my wife is going to love me for this!

My folks are coming back after a 40 day vacation in Chennai.... am i excited!
