12/10/19 ***Dealing with nicotine withdrawal

Certainly it's not a good feeling.  Like I said, there is a sense of void.

Until I completely get rid of Nicorette, I am never free from nicotine.  I got to break free.  This void is not as bad as being under the influence of substance.

It seems that all this while my judgement was effected because I was under the influence of intoxicants.  I am very sensitive to the effect of substance abuse.

With this nicotine withdrawal, I am experiencing the symptoms like sleepiness and agitation.  However, it is not as bad as smoking cessation.  I don't feel depressed and I don't feel the urge for nicotine.  However the body is sensing something missing.

I should not substitute the nicotine withdrawal with caffeine intake.

Come to think of it, one whole year on Nicorette really did the job in getting me to quit smoking.  Boy, I thought I can never quit cigarettes.

So the deal here is, once I quit Nicorette, I will finally quit nicotine.  Quite timely too.  I got 7 months before Ramadan.  The month I will be meeting smokers again.

Before then, I need to condition my self-image so that I am thinking like the Athlete4Life.

Now I know; only two things:  Exercise 1 hour a day and eat OMAD.

Forget about making it anymore complicated for the next 3 months.  I need to be thin and I must be able to run.

Eventually I will beat BJ.  Until then I should strive to be a man fully functioning.  This year it means to be able to run 10 km and to weigh 62 kg.  Focus on these two.

Other than that, focus on eating clean.  As much as possible, avoid artificial sweetener and coffee.  The idea is to maintain optimum wellness and physical health.

Today is a good example of eating clean.  Even when I eat OMAD, I am not hungry at all.  As long as I have the ability to withstand hunger, I should be OK.

Then I need the ability to exercise 1 hour a day.  Finally I need to have the ability to be alone.

Only 3 prerequisites to success.

-------------------

So yeah, I feel so ordinary without nicotine.  Well for the past 39 years I was under the influence of nicotine.  Time to be independent from all forms of crutches.

1/10/ 19 is the cutoff point between my past 20 years and the next 22 years.  This include to start on new habits all together:

  • No more cigarettes, cannabis and cunts
  • No more Nicorettes
  • Eat OMAD
  • Exercise AHAD
  • Lose 30 kg
  • No more Els and TraXX
  • Sleep by 11:00 pm, wake up at 6:00 am
  • No sugar, 3-in-1 coffee, bread, cakes, cookies and kuih
By end December I shall achieve my aim to lose 30 kg and to run 10 km nonstop.  As of now that means I need to run for 2 hours.  What I should be doing is to run far and to run fast.

Which means I start with running 5 km an hour and work towards running 10 km per hour.  For the next 3 months I should focus on running fast for 1 hour.  When I can run fast, then only I focus on running far.  Instead of distance, I use the 1 hour as my benchmark.
