its day 9 for me everyone, the longest ive ever quit for!
each day as it comes i suppose...
Hi Jamie
Great you got there well done you Big Hug day 9 and the longest you've ever gone
Tomorrow you start your running hope you enjoy it
You say you're a bit unsure whether you'll continue not to smoke I'm sure that having got this far you'll carry on and yes take each day as it comes, it will get easier for you with every day you stay quit
work is such a doodle now, i actually nearly look forward to it in the morning!
last time i quit which lasted 8 days, i went crazy with the excercise, like everything i do i have to get obsessive then stop altogether after a while.
well today i decided instead of going mad, i'd do half my workout, but this time keep it regular.because like anything if you do too much of it you lose your motivation really quickly!
4 days a week, monday, wednesday, friday and sunday, 20mins jogging, 20 press-ups and 20 sit-ups.simple
Well done for getting to day 10! You can do this, we all can. Quitting is hard but it's NOT impossible.
Just an idea with your exercise, if you like it give it a go, if not then no worries, just a suggestion. Each time you exercise, both during and after, focus on how your body FEELS. Try to feel the muscles moving, as you're breathing feel how each breath feels in your lungs, afterwards take a few really deep breaths and feel the air going down deeper into your lungs than it did before. As time goes on, note the improvements in how your body feels.
Just an idea... it helps me, I'm using cycling and swimming as new things to do instead of smoking, and my body is starting to feel really good.
sometthing my gp has done for me which weirdly is really helping was to give me a flow meter (normally used to help diagnose asthma etc) and it is staggering watching my lung capacity go up. Incentive in itself - well worth a scrounge!
Well done - keep going! (could you exercise on the other 3 days for me please - I am too busy indulging my macdonalds bitch to fit exercise in as well!!)
