Ok, see you on Wednesday

It is called strength training. Then did you walk or run on the tread mill? Choose which and the speed. Like, walking, 3mph. Finally, there is a category for elliptical

You can put in each . Put in weight training under cardio. There is a category

Lb, what a story and a very positive outlook. Someone else on these boards discussed being diagnosed with RA after quitting too, can't remember exactly who.

I have become obsessed with seltzer and sparkling water. As far as fish, I love ahi tuna steaks pan fried in olive oil. I have this asian spice rub which is delish. This is good with a side of fresh spinach, leeks and mushrooms also cooked in olive oil in a pan.

I recommit to my goal of exercise and healthy eating. Today I walked with some jogging 4.25 miles

Made my morning protein shake with half of a small haas avocado this morning because of this thread. it did make it thick! 2c unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 avocado, 1 scoop unflavored whey protein isolate; raspberries, ice, shot of raspberry sugarfree syrup. Yumm

Good morning! Nope!

Finally caught up. Sceevy. Worms, sucking things, brains, Nazis, bat ears

I used to have a boyfriend long ago who worked construction. I liked when he came hone after a long day with his tool belt and his T-shirt and his tan smelling like the sun. ;) Much better than a cig and a Big Mac any day. Meow

Yey Jackie! Doing wonderful!

In a Salad. Also, mashed up in tuna salad.

Something that Holly said on another thread made me think about a thought that still comes up and troubles me from time to time. This is that smoking is part of being youthful and free. When I was younger I partied allot. I drank and danced in clubs until the wee hours; spent days sizzling at the beach; went to house parties that lasted for days; went out all night and went to work right after. I ate like an animal or not at all. I looked and felt great and had allot of fun. And of course I smoked a pack a day or more for years. As I grew older and my work became more important, i stopped going to parties. My body started to rebel and i stopped the binge drinking and other party favors and began to eat healthy and to run. Friends married, kids came, houses were purchased. Etc. My life changed. But still I smoked for many many years, after everyone I knew had quit, after my father, a smoker, died, after my mother got lung cancer. And now that I am quit there is still part of me that thinks of smoking as freedom, as fun, and at times I think about having a binge of food and drinks and smokes with some of my friends who still at this later age do this. Why can't I be like them? Why do I care?, Why must I live this straight and narrow life? Why can't I be free? But then I know this: Ingesting harmful substances is not freedom. It is not youthful. It is addiction. Self harm. It is time to learn other types of fun. To get pleasure from other types of activities.

Perhaps there may be a small light forming in the distance. Not sure yet.

Here. Errands today

I have been slacking in favor of work hours and worrying in my free time! Today I rode my bike about 14 miles

Nope

I want to quit but I will gain weight. Well, here I am :0 So what Ps my skin and eyes and hair look great. ;)

In your heart there is hope. Quit. Act as is until it is true.

I am not sure how long you have quit before? Maybe you never get to the good part, the free part, and so being quit is not truly appealing?
