I am really mystified! J told me last night that I smelled like smoke. (My breath) I had just returned from a mountain bike ride that was not too intense (technically) and not too long (about an hour and a half).
On his way off to work he said I still smell like smoke. He's never smoked a day in his life but both his parents smoke. I quit smoking in July 2001. My last cig was Dec 2001 (relapse for 2 days and back on the wagon).
When I was a teen my family sold Shaklee. We had a distributor that was an ex pipe smoker. 10 years after he quit he got on the vitamins and he started smelling like stale pipe smoke. We figured it was detox.
That would apply to me except: Three years ago I did a series of fasts (Juice and water) ending with a 28 day fast. I can't take multi-vitamins because every single kind I've tried gives me a migraine. So I take Flinstones and Citrical. I am working out more intensely now (hiking and biking instead of videos), but my diet is the same - A tiny bit healthier but no major difference.
I can't imagine I'm bringing on a detox of any sort with my current diet and exercise...
What could it possibly be? At first I thought it was coffee, but I brushed my teeth and tongue this morning (and last night) and hadn't had a cup before kissing J goodbye.
Interesting. I'd also ask a good friend if you smell like smoke. It is possible that toxins are still being released from your muscles with all this new movement, but that's just a guess.
Like when you get a massage they always tell you to drink lots of water afterwards to help flush out toxins. How's your water intake?
Water intake is about a gallon a day when working, a little less when I'm not. Also I drink about 2 litres while riding/hiking. (that's as big as my hydropack)
I've been drinking that much for a long time but I cut back on coffee about a month ago. I went from a couple of pots a day to two to three cups. Maybe that's part of it. Less coffee, more hydrated, more toxins flush...
