Eating. Eating is something I hadn't really thought about much prior to quitting smoking. However, eating is something you don't really ever _stop_ thinking about straight after you quit. Whenever I get a nicotine craving, my brain just tells me to fill the void with calories instead.
Despite the fact that I'm literally huge around the midsection and it seems it would take a team of expert explorers several weeks to find my rectus abdominis, it turns out that I am in fact a fitness enthusiast. It's even more difficult to reach fitness goals when your brain won't stop suggesting cookies.
Fortunately, this has given me an opportunity to really look at my diet and really take watch what goes into my body. In turn, that has awoken my passion for cooking. Fortified banoffee flapjack and my own secret recipe risotto are just two of many that I've managed to put together in just one month. Fewer cigarettes, more passion, MORE ENTHUSIASM.
Are you bald yet?
Not bald yet! I had perhaps overestimated the success of this charity run. I didn't think it would be so difficult to rally a handful of people into donating a handful of cash! So where I was going to get the razor out when we reached a grand, I suppose I'd better set that bar a little lower! Still want a thousand though, people!!
It's easy to raise £1k for a good cause. Just flick in a fiver! Here are a few things £5 can get you:
- Tip for your barber
- A big blind, a straddle, or a single raise in a game of poker at your local casino
- Carton of 10 cigarettes
- One beer and one packet of nuts at the bar
- Large Big Mac meal
