Very good morning to everyone this wacky Wednesday

Yes well talking of increased lung capacity since becoming a NON Smoker - I think I might be collecting FIRST PRIZE !! Mind you an asthmatic smoking 20 cigs a day for 33 years (or whatever) wasn't that smart !!!

Message for Sinfree - please write 100 times:

"I am so grateful for everything good in my life today"

Just want to wish everyone a great SMOKE FREE DAY & be POSITIVE - let the cravings in the front door and then kick their butts out the back door.

Best wishes

Jonathan

NOPE

Good morning Jilly, Sue, Jonathan and everyone.

I just love Mutley.

Lovely to see you Sue, I missed you last week. I hope you're now settled into your new home and enjoying having a garden. Sorry about your brother troubles but at least you know he's still about. It's really spooky cos I was going to pm you today.

Jilly, hope you had a nice evening last night - and didn't eat too much!

Jonathan, how's that c25k going - that'll help increase the lung capacity - eventually.

I had a baptism by fire last night. It was running group and I knew I was going to get properly wet for the first time. We set off from the centre at 6 o'clock, had only got about 200 yards when the sky went dark and started flashing, then crashing and banging, then torrential rain. After about a mile it stopped - some of the group were trying to avoid the big puddles so I demonstrated that once you're wet you can just run and splash right through them - doesn't matter any more. The worst part was that it made your eyes sting so I need to buy a cap for next time.

Morning all Day 23!!!!!! I actually feel like a non smoker now. I'm feeling so much healthier already and my skin is starting to look so much better. Mind you I have been eating healthily so that probably helps. I don't know what it is about this quit but I'm finding it so much easier, (all my previous attempts are probably helping). I think it's like something Andi said...I've finally has a light bulb moment...lol! Anyway folks, I hope anyone who is strugggling doesn't give up, just keep going strong and remember what Jonathon says NOPE! Have a great smike free day everyone! Dawn xxx

[sue52 3 YEAR WINNER]

Happy Wednesday Everybody

This morning is flying past as fast as the week / year has so far

Sue, sorry to hear about your challenges with your brother. Good to hear that you never gave in and ended up smoking because as you know, it most definitely wouldn't have changed the situation for you. You've come so far and worked really hard to maintain your smokefree life. You're a true winner I've not spoken to you for a while, are you all settled in your happy new home now?

Hey Jonathan, keep up the momentum. You must be almost 3 months smokefree now, that's a whole quarter of a year You've definitely shown that you can come through the other side. Just keep your wits about you and remember that 'you can if you think you can'. You are doing brilliantly!

JillyGirl, is that the same tortoise that beat the hare? No wonder, razzing around on a bike! I love the way the tortoise won the race, against all odds. If we could all look at our lives, the choices we make etc I wonder who we think we would be... the hare "You snooze, you lose" or the tortoise, takes everything in his stride and got to where he wanted to be all at his own pace

Dawn, lovely to see that you've bounced right back. 5 more days and you put yourself in the "5 times more likely to stay quit" category. Keep on keeping on and you'll stay on the right track

Andi, congratulations on the baptism Did your eyes sting from the salt of your sweat or from your mascara? I'm hoping to pick my yoga back up, it's been a few weeks too many that I've allowed to pass now and I can feel a negative difference already from not doing it

Remember to stay positive everyone and if there's any thing we can help you out with, give us a shout.

Sin, we are here when you are ready

A fresh cup of tea anyone?

[andi22 in reply to EmJay]

Hi Emjay. I don't think it was sweat as we'd only just started out and not even warmed up yet. My mascara's waterproof too - maybe it's my face cream. I started doing Ashtanga yoga a few weeks ago which is quite good. I don't do any practising in between though and must get some of the exercises so I can maybe practise when I go away next time.

I think that picture in the header is Sin on her bike, pushing up that hill, with me trying to catch her up (out of shot!). No chance on a bike - maybe next year, eh?

[quit 14 Month Winner]

THANKS Emjay, Sue, Dawn & Andi

Yes - being very POSITIVE about all this has put me on a different track or if you like in a different place.

Very much with you Dawn - I think it is an enormous relief to be free from that yuk, horrible addiction and not always having to think about the next fix.

Jonathan

NOPE

[sue52 3 YEAR WINNER]

Hi Emjay,

I'm all settled now and i love the peace and quiet, no more loud music and fighting I can't wait to have Nairn this weekend, I can't believe he's 5 months old already, where has the time gone

I hope you have a great day xx

[andi22]

Hi Sin, I was reading about your struggles last night. They say that running is very good for improving your mood.

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER]

Dawn well done on sticking to your quit regime. well done.

I have just been to my diabetes nurse this morning . I am borderline so can control it with diet. (hopefully). I must admit it felt really good as she turned to me and said your doing fine. Your blood pressures fine , you dont smoke, heart ok. it was the dont smoke made me feel so proud of myself.

[andi22 in reply to jillygirl]

"Don't smoke!" Yippee!

[andi22]

Went to circuits tonight and was chatting to a mad marathon runner who works where my dad used to work. His mate had come running with us last night and was supposed to join us. He appeared at some stage, then just vanished. I'll have to go again next week now to find out what happened.

[monky Administrator 35 Months Winner in reply to andi22]

Hmmmm, was there a pub near the route you took

[andi22 in reply to monky]

There is a bar in the leisure centre - mmmm, perhaps that's where he got to - I'll have to ask him at running next week.

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER]

May be he went back for his wellies.

On that sad note, i wish you all gooodnight. sweet dreams see you tomorrow. xx
