NOPE!!

NOPE!

We're just normal people motivated by the challenges and benefits of the physical culture. That and masochism. A little bit of masochism goes a long way.

I find myself romancing the cigarette too, sometimes, and since my quit is only 17 days old it's a dangerous feeling. What helped was to go to the dentist and have a deep cleaning done. It was way over-due and I've been putting it off for a solid year! It took 7 shots of novacaine and three and a half hours because they also replaced a bunch of metal fillings with ceramic ones. After that experience (which was really a positive one despite all the dread and fear I had about mouth shots and drills) I don't want to foul my mouth up again with disgusting smoke. The other side of my smile is going to be done in two weeks but now I feel like I'm so much cleaner. I also got an hour long massage last week with the money I've saved from not smoking.

Proud to say I successfully made it from my bed to the coffee pot this morning. Probably 100 feet or more and involves the descent of multiple stairs. I didn't fall even once and did not need to stop and rest along the way. Although, I ALMOST tripped over the damn cat! Normally, I'd just have the wife get me a coffee but today .... I did it myself The stuff you people talk about doing would have me in the hospital on life support

I bought this toy to use that measures how long and how well I do planks. Before I quit smoking a plank was just a piece of wood that I could sit on and puff away. Now I'm working my core muscles. my glutes, my arms, shoulders and back! It's called the Stealth Core and it works with a phone app to keep track of progress. It was really painful to use at first but it's been five days and I'm getting better and better at it. Plus, it's fun!

NOPE !

12 hours later, still nope

No more stinky breath ,yellow teeth furry tongue...oh yes your mouth is so much nicer... Why would you spoil all that....nooooo..... Aww a nice massage too...already you are gaining the lovely rewards...and they keep on coming ...enjoy them ....x

Did a quick workout this morning. Front Squats. Chin Ups to Dips on the rings. Push-Ups on the rings. Bang! Three exercises and I worked every muscle in my body. The reason I mention that is, I saw some awful "beginner's" routine online this morning. That thing was filled with isolation movements and was suggesting that those new to strength training needed to do a minimum of 10 exercises per workout, four-days a-week to work full body strength. There's a whole lot of bad information floating around out there, but....I digress. Finished up with 20 minutes on the rower and some mobility work.

NOPE! No time to smoke. I'm watching Bender gifs.

I am at day 37 now not smoking. I did have one fall back a few weeks back. It involved drinks. Having the same problem with my skin and it is annoying. Glad to know there is a site i can go to see and other to talk to.

7... Morning Nance !!!

Glad to hear it Berk. Great that you're feeling a bit better and your weight is picking up as it sounds like that was a desirable outcome for you. Lessened anxiety will help with that. Anxiety and panic can cause underweight issues because appetite can be nonexistent. I know when I was in that place, it felt like my throat was closed, making it very difficult to eat.

What the hell .......... another NOPE! for me

Hey guys my stepdad has decided to try and quit I told them about this wonderful forum, his name is Bignon

Great news Berk! Yes, this Saturday Feb 10th you'll be officially 1 Month Quit and that is a really notable milestone. The first month or so is the toughest part. Things do get better and easier as you move forward. It just happens really slowly. Keep up the great work and be sure to check the celebrations page on Feb. 10th

I am never putting any nicotine or tobaccoo in my body ever again. Ever. 120 hours clean. It feels amazing. I am never smoking ever again. Still foggy headed and a bit detached. A lot of anxiety earlier. Its ok though. I get to wake up in my own house tomorrow for the first time as an ex smoker.
