Morning Betts and what a beautiful day. How was the belly dancing? Did it help to lift the spirits? It certainly helped to lift mine although I think I may have put my hip out - ha ha ha

Have a wonderful walk, I'm off for one as well xx :) :)

Betts profile image
Betts in reply toChrissieG

:D :D

Look after that hip!

Spirits lifted, arms dodgier ;D

It's a long CD and spent a lot of time on the arms, trying to do the snaky thing. Can barely lift the coffee cup here ;) :)

Enjoy your walk Chrissie! Marching together :)

Actually Betts, I think the last 6 weeks is actually hanging over my belt at the moment - so bloated - I need to get those slimming world recipe books out right now!!! :) :)

Betts profile image
Betts in reply toChrissieG

You and me both. It's quite depressing, this weight gain, and yesterday I started trying. Feel so huge round the middle.

Saturday, really, because on the Friday morning I had my last of a pack at about 6am, then cleared the house of everything. But I did have that one, so Sat. Whoopee :)

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply tomonky

Oh I'm not sure about that Monky - I think we should save ourselves for Betts Badge on Saturday, but I am pleased I've got to 6 weeks I have to admit :)

Now about that dangerous wobble zone - Well I personally bellieve that I could win the buddha belly dancing championship - it's THAT dangerous!! :) :) xx

Decision made - because completely out of the blue I have received an e-mail from a very old friend with a picture of me which was taken on the Golden Jubilee weekend 2002 - Wow I look so slim (and so young actually!). Anyway the lifestyle change/diet and exercise routine starts tomorrow - actually I'll start practicing from tomorrow until I get put my plan into action - I'm going to join a gym! This is going to kill me, I'll die, I know I'll die - but drastic action is required, and besides it'll give me something else to think about!!! :) :) (help!!)

Mindermummy profile image
Mindermummy in reply toChrissieG

I'm good thanks...popping on here every few days...still having a few harder moments...but equally finding the whole thing more "normal". Harder moments tend to be with drinking...which I always thought would be hard!! So proud of 6 weeks. Hope your well and finding it ok!?!?

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply toMindermummy

You are doing really well, are the harder moments when drinking getting any better with time? I'm feeling really good actually, I'm still on the e-cig but a lower nic level now - are you still using any nrt or are you completely nice free now? Yes, life is pretty normal again now , just without the cigarettes - I'm really really happy about that! 2 weeks until our next badge girl! xx :) :)

Mindermummy profile image
Mindermummy in reply toChrissieG

No...I think the drinking times are very hard.....ESP when out with others smoking. I'm managing to get thorough most days with nothing....but at a weekend with a wine etc..will have the e cig. No patches anymore...stopped them....odd gum here and there. Well done you....u have done amazing...xx

Well hello all,not been on for a while,just so busy :) :) I'm still fag free,and nicotine free,seems to be getting easier,only really think about smoking with certain triggers now,but they soon go :)

I've put my name forward for the London marathon 2015....(oh my god,what have I done) :) If I get in I will need some BIG wishes.

You're not wrong Briarwood, am definitely getting faster steaming up that hill, doing it regularly gives me a way to see the improvement. Need that to keep motivated on this quit journey

Hi Chrissie,I applied a couple of years ago,to run for The British Heart Foundation.

The reason my darling wife had a heart attack age 36,she is ok now but what a worry.

I was not successful that time,but here's hoping this time.Never done anything like this before so will be difficult,but i will train if I get the nod.I have a treadmill at home,but will need to increase my workout 100 fold.

Yes Chrissie it is something I've wanted to do for a while now (I must be mad) but all for a good cause,and personal achievement xx

Speak soon Nic

monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer in reply toNick-o-teenfree

Aup Nick, great to see your still smoke free pal :)

I'm sorry to hear about your Wife, I hope she's fighting fit again now :) :)

Hmmmm, London marathon eh :o well, all I can say is your a braver man than I pal :) I hope you get picked for it and good luck to you Nick :)

Please give my best wishes to your dear Wife and see's ya later pal :) Pete

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply toNick-o-teenfree

Nick it is wonderful that you are doing this for both reasons - a sense of achievement and to support the British Heart Foundation. Your darling wife was so very young to have a heart attack (so pleased she is well now) so I assume it was some kind of genetic heart disease which caused it? I can assure you that your sponsorship will definitely go towards cardiovascular research - I work in this area and many of our scientists receive grants or fellowships from BHF, without which the research simply wouldn't be done - so you running a marathon really does make a difference and will ultimately save lives - so give yourself a massive pat on the back and get those trainers on!! Oh, and when you've got your justgiving page set up let us know :) :) :) xxx

Ok I see that nic wants to do a marathon and Chrissie wants to join the gym and Betts is wearing out those walking boots, WOW, I'm just speechless! Oh and Sin - will you be hiring out the hubby anytime soon? :D :D

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply toBriarwood

Urm, I don't actually WANT to join the gym Briarwood - it's more I need to really - I'm just trying to work out when I'll fit it in! Although they are open 24/7 so I could go at 3.00 am so that nobody sees me struggling (so embaressing!!!) :) :) xx

haha, no Briarwood he's all mine, mind you depends how much you're offering. :D Well done Chrissie on your 6 weeks and cutting down to what is it? 2mg nicotine or something? Yay, that didn't take long. And well done to Nic for even thinking about running a marathon, I don't do running, too much like hard work. Such a worthwhile cause though. My cycling has gone a bit by the wayside, did 22 miles on the canal on Saturday but nothing else much in the way of exercise. Been to the garden centre this afternoon - now that is a very alien place for me :D

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply to

Thanks Sin - but it's 1.2 mg from 1.8 mg so not as good as you thought - I'm staying where I am now for the next week or so then I'll start another drop (0.6mg) but mixing the liquids - and then the long slow process from 0.6 to zero! I think yellowsnowdrop got to nic free in 13 weeks or something like that - I doubt I'll manage that!

You made me laugh out loud re the garden centre - I love wandering around garden centres, not that I do it much these days as I don't actually have a garden!!! :) :) :)

in reply toChrissieG

Well it's half what I was on at 2.4mg so that is good, very good. I quite enjoyed the garden centre, we were looking for fish but came back with plants, seeds, bulbs!! grass seed and I've just sewn some seeds from scratch, so I'll be going peeking at them every 5 minutes to see if they've grown :D

monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer in reply toChrissieG

Whooooooops sorry :o

in reply tomonky

You have weeds in your fish pond? Tsk. We never had weeds in our fish pond before it leaked.

in reply toChrissieG

Well after tea I sowed (haha, I spelt it wrong before didn't I) some Lobelia in a little propagator thing. Was only £1 for the whole kit including 1,000 seeds. Hope all the seeds don't germinate, will have Roses growing on me - Ooooh.

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply to

Ah that sounds so good - so what happens when they germinate, do you plant them in pots then or in the ground? xx

in reply toChrissieG

Well, I dunno. Think you have to put them in pots first, then in the ground. Perhaps a bit late but never mind.

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply to

I think you should do a photo diary of you lobelia growing (like with the garden) - I've just googled them, they look fantastic in pots!!! xx :) :)

monky profile image
monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer in reply toChrissieG

Yeah :) but there is about 10 to 20 plants per pot :)

monky profile image
monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer in reply to

Yep, your a bit late gal, butttttttt, they will still be lovely in a few weeks :) but just remember, you need to prick a bunch of them seedlings to one pot to make a good display eh :)

monky profile image
monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer in reply to

Ahhhh, Lobelia Sinfree :o

You get a 1.000 seeds for a purpose, when they germinate, you have to prick them out at a bunch of about 10 or so, to make them look like you see them in the garden centres :o

You need a bunch of them in a pot to make a good show :) :)

in reply tomonky

Well this should be good as the propagator supplied is about 6 x 4" with 1,000 seeds in it :o Anyone got a magnifying glass and some tweezers, sounds like I may need them :D :D

hey, briarwood, I think the late frosts have killed the Ladybirds off for a bit :( so if you have a water sprey gun, mix a pretty strong solution of washing-up-liquid and water, give that to em gal :) this should not do any damage to the flower budds :) :)

Hey talking of water pistols. Hubby made me a groovy little watering can for my teeny little propargator thingy. As I learned a couple of years ago its easy to drown the compost, so he got a Hollands pudding foil tin thing, poked holes in it with a fork and I poured the water through that to wet the compost.

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply to

Ah that's so clever! And I take it it did the trick? xx :) :)

in reply toChrissieG

hehe, yes it was very good. I'm always telling him off for leaving them lying around but... it came in handy. Also a used Chocolate muffin container came in handy as an extra propagator too. Sometimes pays to be be untidy. :D

ChrissieG profile image
ChrissieG in reply to

Ha ha ha - that's brilliant! Including the muffin case!!! Gardening is lovely, except for the hard bits of course - but seeing the flowers in a few weeks will be really great - don't forget the photo diary!!! :) :)

Good evening everyone, nice to see you all enjoying your Bank Holiday and probably the best place to be - at home - on a day like today, gardening. :)

Congratulations to Chrissie and Mummy for getting to 6 weeks quit today. :)

Chrissie, you could maybe invest some of that newly saved money in a personal trainer who might keep you on the straight and narrow. ;-) He could even get you running, then you could maybe go and run a marathon with Nick. :) :D :D

ChrissieG in reply toandi22

Hi Andi, lovely to see you :) I was thinking along those lines once I've got a few weeks experience under my belt - I'm just not sure how I'll be when it comes to the cardio training yet, so I need to build that (and my confidence) up a bit before I let a PT loose on me! And as for a marathon - are you trying to kill me? I am thinking about the C25K but not even that yet! But yes, a PT for the future to really get me working out properly - good idea!! Hey you do running - London Marathon - 2015 - what do you think??? :) :) :)

andi22 profile image
andi22 in reply toChrissieG

No way do I ever want to do a marathon! I worked at the Bournemouth Marathon last year and saw everyone after they'd finished. I wondered why they all put themselves through it cos most of them looked like they'd just come out of a car crash! :o :D :D

It did look a bit like it. The sun was out for a while. I had my winter coat back on today though after yesterday. Brrrr! Just checked outside - not raining here yet, I can see the moon but it has got a thin layer of cloud over it.

No, no gardening for me since Saturday, unfortunately, just as I'm starting to get into it I suddenly have other things to do on the days following. :o I did give the back grass a double cut on Saturday and weeded half a border but couldn't bring myself to get the fork out and start digging.

I went with my friends to Portland Bill yesterday. He went to watch his team play cricket and my friend and I walked round the end for a bit. It was lovely but the wind was bitter. Didn't get home til quite late so by the time I had my dins I was too knackered to come on here and went to bed early.

Today I went out with a group on the open-top bus (sat inside) to Swanage then got the steam train to Corfe Castle. A lovely day again. I went out for a run before my dins so am now knackered again. o I'm watching the snooke in the background - I think Ronnie's lost it now. ;-

Aup John, great to see you pal :) and a big warm welcome to this lovely quit site :)

A massive well done to you for staying smoke free for 2 weeks, and having a beer tooo, cos I tell you John, that is a great achievement on its own :) :)

Now then, down to the nitty gritty, erm, am sorry, but dont know much about the e-cigs, cos am on patches, but they do give me, ermmmmm a bit of wind :o :D :D although saying that, I did try champix and that gave me some heartburn in the early stages :o

Am just wondering, if you have changed your e-cig or your supplier in the last few days ?? or changed any eating habits ??

Emjay, is our lovely quit support adviser :) and I will go have a nosy at her past posts to see if I can find anything about heartburn on them :)

You stay strong now John, your doing ever so well :) Why dont you come onto our Tuesday Daily chat, that way we wont have to come all the way down here eh :) :)

Speak soon, Pete :)
