Today I spent my first 24 hours without smoking while at the same time attempting Atkins Diet. In Nairobi, no diet works like Atkins because Nyama Choma is just around every kiosk (and I mean that literally). Not smoking for 24 hours is like winning the Tour de France on low testosterone!!!!! I can already feel my libido rising and my breath clearing. Now to dash home and check out whether the weight has gone an itsy bitsy teensy weensy down....

If that's on course, I guess I will sort out the libido next...
