Undivorced in New Jersey That's because the cost of living here is so high...they can't afford to get divorced

making this right now in the crock pot!! :)

Today's class taught me a valuable lesson. The theme of the class was modifications. The whole time we modified the exercises...as if we had a bad knee, or bad back...you know, low level, no jumping..I thought for sure it would be easy but it turned out to be one of the hardest classes I ever took. The sweat was pouring out of me...out of all of us. It was insane. I am a true believe in modifications now..,,,no matter what physical limitations...they can always be modified to suit you and still get that cardio exercise each day that we all need.

smoking is not an option :) Not even close Once you are comfortable at your new job....tell them about the quit train :)

respect!!!!!!!

this reminds me of when I was pregnant and got the book "what to expect when you're expecting" I read that book cover to cover and wanted to know exactly what was happening to my body at every moment. Some things I could identify with....some issues I was having that I didn't even read in the book...and their were other things they mentioned that I didn't experience at all. Every quit is different....there is such thing as the "icky 3's" so "they" say (who is "they" anyway??) Waiting around for it to happen is like waiting for a pot of water to boil or paint to dry...... enjoy the journey cpk....it's where the growth is. Not everyone experiences the Icky Threes, or if they do, it might happen at slightly different time intervals, but it is common enough to take note of and be prepared for should it happen to you. 3 Days -- Physical Withdrawal The first three days of smoking cessation are intense for most of us. Often, the first day or two are fueled by the 'excitement' of taking the initial plunge into quitting, but by the third day, reality is setting in and so are the discomforts of physical withdrawal from nicotine. 3 Weeks-- Psychological Withdrawal At three weeks, we've gotten through the shock of physical withdrawal and we're just beginning to tackle the mental side of nicotine addiction. This turn of events triggers cravings to smoke anew for a lot of us. And be aware ... psychological cravings can produce very real physical reactions in our bodies, making a mental trigger feel like physical withdrawal. Thinking about that smoke break you used to take at a certain time of the day can cause tension that makes your stomach churn and leaves you on edge. It feels like a physical craving, and in a way it is...but the source is a thought, not physical withdrawal from nicotine. 3 Months -- The Blahs At three months the "newness" of the quit program is wearing off and we're often left thinking "Is that all there is?" The blahs hit, in other words. That too triggers cravings to smoke, often quite intensely. Power on through this phase, because your comfort with the new smoke-free life you're building will continue to grow with time. Knowledge is Power Don't let the discomforts that can come with smoking cessation throw you off course. They are all temporary, and once you move through them, they'll be cleared out and gone for good.
