40 days - woohoo!

I have been smoke free for 40 days. That's 1002 cigarettes is I haven't smoked. When did I have the time to smoke that many cigarettes.

My t-shirt and fundraising pack arrived today for the MacMillan 10k fun run. I have raised half my target amount and I am really going to run 10k. The couch to 5k is going well.

Had a few drinks on Friday and a few cravings. Decided to cut out the alcohol altogether for the time being. I seem to have a reduced tolerance to it. I want a clear head every day to go with my clear lungs!

The yoga was hard going. Hopefully, it will get easier. I think any exercise is good, June.

Thanks, Bradders

That link was really useful, Bradders. Thanks, it's in my favourites now.

I am enjoying another rest day today. I have 2 sick boys at home and another who has to go to the dental hospital. So I will have to work tomorrow instead.

I am getting quite partial to my spicy seeds now. I am still peckish a lot of the time but I think the increased exercises is balacning out against the increased calorie intake. I actually look better after putting on some weight.

Brilliant news about your 10k. I think its great that you have replaced smoking with the exercise, I've erm not quite managed that yet lol

Hope your boys are better soon.
