oh noooo, so sorry to hear that you had to start over. you went a few months recently didnt you? how did the relapse go down? have you figured out what went wrong before so you can avoid the same pitfalls this time around? feels like i am gloating to say this even though i know you wont take it that way but today is 5…

some good ideas here

i have taken to not leaving my office other than to get water and go to the bathroom during the day since as soon as i go outside the urge to smoke increases ten fold. i had a funny thought this morning as i was getting in the shower at the gym, my mind was wandering and this thought bounced through my head - "tomorrow is…

[/quote] Its a bodyfat issue. If your bodyfat on your abs is beyond your body's threshold for abdominal definition than you show a six pack. Most women have to get pretty low in in BF for a six pack. [/quote] thanks for the response but i am still confused i am a guy and according to this calculator…

i have been thinking about this a lot too and would love some advice, i am in relatively good shape but really really really really want a six - pack but not sure how to get it and when people say to eat right i get confused. i feel like i eat relatively well. i end up way over on the sugars but that is generally due to…

just remembered, when i was walking away from a 10k race last summer and some people who didnt know about the race going on stopped me and asked incredulously - "how is it swimming in that lake? i didnt know they let people do that?" they almost didnt believe me that i had not gone in the lake, that it was just sweat.

when i finish a run i take off my shirt and wring in out with my hands and create small pools that the local children will then come and play in. While i swear the Salt Lake in Utah was there long before i had ever visited, there are some among my friends who think it showed up after i spent a week in Utah and had gone for…

congrats! i am doing well although still thinking about cigarettes a lot, 29 days, 2 hours, 35 minutes and 47 seconds smoke free Cigarettes NOT smoked: 291 Money Saved: $86.27

for most it doesnt make them uncomfortable but it does for some depending how far you take what we call "the name game," every person who walks by you guess their name by calling it out loud enough for them to hear you and know you are trying to speak to them "hey jessica" "janet" etc in a high traffic area this is fun all…

can you find a running club of group or a cycling club in your area? being with others will seem terrifying or daunting at first but it will do wonders since you will inevitably find someone your speed and most likely many people will be slower than you which will help you feel more at ease or "normal." you will also chat…

is it bad that this really makes me want to try some opiates? I mean, sounds like they keep really good company since i am a big fan of the other three things on that list... to the OP, i craved sugar in general for a while after i quit (which was 28 days, 5 hours, 50 minutes and 36 seconds ago in case anyone was…

6am tomorrow it will be 4 weeks smoke free for me. half a pack a day for most of the last 24 years, since i was 12 or 14. my two cents on quitting. you have to decide if you really want to quit, not kind of want to, not quit because your family wants you to but that you dont want to be a smoker anymore. if you cant say…

you can do cardio but with different muscle groups so that you dont over do it for me my goal week is ... m- bike and run t- swim w- bike and run th- bike fr - pilates & circuit training sat - run sun - surf so i am doing cardio 6 days a week and there is a little cardio in the circuit training class i do but i am doing…

**raises hand** i enjoyed smoking a great deal and while you are right it is mental like most things in life your flippant attitude that totally writes off those who dont want to quit seems strange to me coming from a former smoker but everyone's experience is different so perhaps you have a very different perspective. I…

not to be rude but you dont know anything about what is going on in the minds and bodies of other people, you can share your experience and draw conclusions and advice from it but my experience can be completely different. society as a whole and particular individuals telling me not to smoke definitely has played a role in…

i am a big fan of the Furman FIRST program, i use it to train for marathons and it has helped me get a lot faster

i posted this in another thread but got no responses so maybe someone here will know what i am talking about and have some thoughts, i am on day 21 now, anyone else feel the same as me now or in the past? it is funny how i dont think about smoking at all for hours or most of the day really and then all of a sudden i start…

anyone else feel the same as me? it is funny how i dont think about smoking at all for hours or most of the day really and then all of a sudden i start obsessing over it and thinking about how much i miss smoking, not a physical craving but a mental or emotional one (my relationship with cigarettes was very close). when i…

oranges. peeling keeps you busy and the vitamin c and citrus help for reason i dont understand but they work and they are good for you

good question and congrats, i am at 17 days 10 hours right now myself, i think you and i quit together (am i confusing you with someone else?) last year but it obviously didnt stick for either of us, funny that we would be doing it again at the same time

i have nothing to hide anybody can look at mine. i dont tend to log on the weekends but otherwise i have been pretty good about this until yesterday when i had a free lunch buffett and couldnt be bothered to figure out what it all added up to.

based on your ticker, you are half way there give or take right? people might be uncomfortable saying anything because they may think you look better but know you still have a couple pounds to lose in which case, if they said something, and you havent lost weight then they basically just called you fat because it happens…

16 days 5 hours for me :) doing well. the cold sore's (i guess that is what you would call them) in my mouth and the sore throat have cleared up. had a long swim on tuesday, it was my longest swim yet, 3k and seemed like my breathing was improved, hard to quantify if it was due to practice in the pool or not smoking but it…
