Good morning Jillygirl and all,

It's lovely and sunny here in Dundee but a bit cold, at least the wind has gone, I'll need to go and rake all the leaves up that landed in my garden yesterday, hope i can stay awake long enough i keep nodding off :o :D :D

I hope everyone has a great smoke free day :)

Good morning Jilly, Sue and everyone.

Sue, first buy a rake. ;-) Crikey, this could be the start of your exercise regime - don't overdo it on the first go though. :/

Started nice and sunny but clouding over a bit now. Still, nice enough to get out and about for a bit of fresh air. :)

Morning All.....Day 24...YAH! Nearly into my 1st month! Going to quit support group tonight, I'm the only one there who has not had a cig during stoptober so I am the teachers pet...lol! When I first went my CO reading was a whopping 33 and now it's down to 3. My hubby is still smoking but i've come to the conclusion that's his problem not mine.

Anyway everybody enjoy this glorious day and be happy in the knowledge that we are and will always be SMOKE FREE! Dawn xxx

Good Morning JillyGirl and Everyone else :D

The sun is shining here too, happy days :D

Today looks like a lovely day to make a decision to stay stopped, remembering that smoking isn't all that it leads you to believe that it is either. Just looking at the above picture shows that :-/

Having just had a meeting with all our stop smoking advisors, I was wondering what everybody's motivation is to stop smoking,to keep on trying to stop or to stay stopped? The thing about motivation is that it’s not a constant variable. Today might be a high point but tomorrow it may be gone. As Zig Ziglar put it: “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.”

I've come across a list of motivational quotes that somebody has related to stopping smoking, I'm gong to pop it up in separate post so when you get a craving, grab a seat and have a read through it as I'm sure it'll help and inspire you :-)

Dawn, from 33 alllllll the way down to 3! That's brilliant :D Using the carbon monoxide monitor is a fantastic way of monitoring how well you are doing. With regards to your hubby smoking, you have the right attitude. At the end of the day, most of us are going to know somebody who smokes. It's a case of just accepting that it is there choice to smoke and ours not to. You carry on being the teachers pet, the star pupil. I'm sure you will be encouraging others within your group to want to continue to making another attempt :D Well done to you :D

Andi, no matter what the weather sends you I'm sure you will always find some sort of exercise to fit into your day :-)

Sue, you just take it easy and do what you can do. I bet those leaves are a lovely autumn colour now, look forward to the day when you will be kicking them up into the air with Nairn :D

Evening Pete.

It's just another variation but I seem to find it a bit more dynamic than other things of the ilk that I've tried. The idea is to eventually be able to do things like wrap your legs around your neck whilst standing on your head - or something like that - if you practise every day! :o Maybe a bit like the hermits we saw in India last year, but I'll never become that flexible. :D :D (Drat, can't find the image I want. :( )

Hmmmm, I think I know what you are on about Andi :) Ok I see that we have to try and keep flexible, but, cant really think why I would want to put my leg around my neck :o :P :D :D
