I HAVE NOT FALLEN OFF THE PERCH

For those who may have believed I had fallen off the perch through my lack of blogging I can assure them that all is well. My toes are able to grip the perch very tightly when required.

I can also assure them that I continue to be nicotene free and the time period now exceeds 5 months. This remains an astounding result as I now rarely think about smoking and nicotene. There are some interesting outcomes evident as a result of giving up smoking, the primary one being there is so much money in my wallet at the end of each week that my Bank Manager now wants to talk to me. I might add that I did expect there to be some significant improvements to my health albeit some benefits should be apparent much further down the track. I remain surprised that my taste has not improved as I expected to be able to taste all my food more. This has not really occurred. I have put on some weight but I was totally aware I let my food intake increase until I was able to be sure my nicotene requirement had abated. Now I have started to work on the weight increase which was just on 8 kilos. At the insistence of Shirl the Girl I have commenced a daily walk starting at 30 minutes whoch I hope to gradually increase.
I have also been doing some increased level of work in the yard including paving and fencing which must have been some assistance.
I am trying to limit my food intake and have virtually reduced the level of carbs by eliminating pasta,breads and potato. This is difficult and I really believe more difficult than giving up smoking.
Future blogs will include weight updates as well as a nicotene position.
Bill the blogger.
