Let’s just hope the headline of my next blogpost will not complete the title for a certain Kings of Convenience song, but as of right now I have been completely snus / nicotine free for five days, or 120 hours. I’m not going to lie, it seems like it was weeks ago that I posted the Day 3 post, but it’s only been a little over two days.

Despite of this, the quitting has actually been a bit easier than I initially expected. Don’t get me wrong, I still crave it, a lot, but I don’t have any problems containing myself now that I have made up my mind. It’s also quite inspiring to think that just after these five days, I’ve saved about $50 dollars that I would otherwise have spent on that pointless habit. It sums up, for sure.

Another good thing is that I’ve been feeling a lot more energized. It could be that my appetite is increasing, but I feel really motivated to start working out properly again, and not just limit myself to the two to three days of week I spend on football (soccer). I just need to figure out exactly how I wish to spend all this newfound energy!

Other than that, I finally got me a new external harddrive today to use with Time Machine. It’s about time I started backing up again after I lost all my data when my Macbook’s internal drive died, and I directly after accidentally fried my backup drive as well. It sucks losing all your stuff, pictures in particular, and that’s why I’m being extra careful this time around.

And now, off to bed. Need some sleep.
