Smoke-free Carnivory

Well it's done - I am officially a non-smoker again. Finished the Allen Carr book yesterday afternoon, smoked my last cigarette, and haven't wanted one since. No withdrawal, no cravings, nothing. Slightly irritable, but not much more than usual really. Very happy to be back to normal.

I did, however, have a bit of the munchies. I was watching the second half of "Dexter" (Season 1) and felt the urge to nibble - so I munched out on cheese. Thanks god dairy is okay with me again (so far), because carnivory would bet a little dull without it.

So what did I eat yesterday? Well: 2 fried eggs with havarti melted on top, 2 bratwursts with leftover cheese sauce, egg nog (heavy whipping cream, egg yolks, some cinnamon/nutmeg), whipped cream, cheddar and mozzarella cheese for snacking. And I tried to track in Fitday, I really did, but the idea of portioning and weighing out cheese just didn't appeal to me. So this is missing several ounces of cheese. I don't really rely on Fitday for accuracy anyway.


I am holding steady at 114lbs, and I don't really expect much more to melt off without getting back to strength training. But who knows? I'm not aiming for a certain macronutrient ratio, just want to see where I tend to fall naturally and what effect this has, if any, on my body/weight.

I also want to see how I feel on all animal foods, both physically and mentally.

Maybe it's the increased oxygen getting to my brain, but I am just not very writer-y today. Apologies. I will keep posting my progress with this, if only to keep myself accountable. Let's hope I'm more entertaining tomorrow.

Hmmm. Quitting smoking AND repeatedly watching the Dexter opening where he's frying the ham and eggs? Yeah that would give me the munchies, too.

Is it wrong to want ham and eggs if they've been prepared by a serial killer?

Oh Ramona - I'll answer that one in a whole post! And thanks! :)

Babe, thanks! :)

I would totally eat Dexter's ham and eggs. I suspect serial killers make awesome breakfasts. Why? I don't know.
