Healthy living

Having now lost three stone since September I have got to the next stage which is to stop smoking. I went for a 7.77 km run yesterday which I understand is not that far under 5 miles, so I'm getting there. I had my last cigarette at Oxford Brookes University at midday and had no more excuses for delaying the start of stopping.

It's now well over 24 hours and I understand I no longer have any carbon monoxide in my blood which is a shame - I like carbon monoxide. It's better than carbon dioxide which just causes global warming or perhaps I've got to do more research. By this time tomorrow I should be able to taste things better and be less smelly. It will be hard to tell in either case as I pile the 3 stone back on.

I am determined that won't happen though. I must find things to keep myself occupied. Any suggestions? Keep them clean please.
