Day 3 today...Weird experience.

[nsd_user663_50482]

So today i decided to take the plunge, literally, and get back in the pool.

It was great...hard, but very enjoyable.

Now the weird part...After the swim and actually during it at some points, I really felt like a smoke?! :confused:

I don't comprede!!...

Anyone else experienced this??

Cravings after exercise?

mmm, that can be a trigger point for some people. Not for me though I love my swim and I love the feeling after exersise and dont want to pollute meyself. However that is what my OH used to feel when he quit, he would go for a run and then really crave a cig?

[nsd_user663_50482]

Yeah, I think it may have something to do with using my lungs properly again and that triggers something?

It wasn't unbearable or anything, just confusing...Hopefully it'll pass soon!

[nsd_user663_42390]

Hopefully it will!

Keep swimming, keep posting, keep reading, and dont smoke. It is that simple.

The triggers will fade away and it will become the norm to swim and not smoke.

Hi... Exercise is my trigger point.. Even tho I smoked is till did a lot of exercise.. And even now after Zumba or yoga.. My brain thinks fag time..and I get a craving.. It also happens after iv cleaned the kicker and bathroom as I would have a fag break before I start the other room..

Have they gradually got easier?

It would be quite annoying to feel fine during the day but to get them when trying to get healthier!:eek:

Hey Swimmer man! Thanks for ur post on my day 2 thread! I was feeling particularly weak at that point! Glad to say I'm now on day 5 which I find amazing! I was the exactly the same, straight after a spin class or gym session, first thing I would do was to the car, get the fags & spark up! I found it funny & weird the first few times after leaving the gym but I think it's more about habit, it was your routine & the little demon is praying on it hoping you will feed him! I feel fine now, been to the gym, felt great & left with a smile! You are doing great & within a few days you will feel the difference when swimming, I promise! Good look for tomorrow!
