Hi Sazerac, I am on a BP mission too , was 180/95 and my ECG was showing some historical bad stuff . My first priority is to my smoking quit , that is a no brainer . Diet wise I am cutting out all the hidden sugar I was consuming , 5 cokes min , Orange juice , Redbull Energy drinks , sugar in coffee/tea etc (I live in a hot place with a full and free works fridge !) Then I read your blog posts - I am probably in caffine withdrawal by default lol ,as my Coffee intake was 5 plus mugs a day and the Fizzy pops were always a constant! Anyway i''ll try and remember that alot of things are going on at the moment and I'll probably wean off coffee and Tea further down my quit. My BP is alot better now but I still need to alter things - it takes time to alter a lifetime of bad habits . I am being quite positive and I am enjoying trying to fix myself as a project (I don't want BP pills and Statins forever) ! I'm doing the BBC couch to 5k for starters (I hate running !).I'll keep you posted !

Hi everyone , I am 56 and have been a smoker for 40 years ending up on 40 a day ! I have tried a few quits over the last 15 years or so and i know the only rule is NOPE - break that rule and normally wait another number of years before trying again . I quit 27 days ago and "romanced just the one" ,17 day quit lost . I was sitting there feeling stupid and ill with a chain smoked half packet - trashed the packet reset my meter and here I am . It has been quite tough as I managed to regain my quit but the "just one - you've done it before this time " feeling is strong , but my resolve feels realy good and i really understand my near miss with smoking again. I have re-visited Joel's lessons - and my weakness is no excuse but I have forgiven myself . I promise to post an SOS - my relapses have always been premeditated in a strange way . Everyone on here is inspirational . KTQ - Steve

A really good read Sazerac , I am having the same issues as you had (BP) and this is very helpful .

Hi all , Instead of luking I have joined the Train ! Nope for me today
