HAPPY THURSDAY EVERYBODY!

Oh I am missing you all whilst I take my little break, so I thought I would pop in and open the daily chat today – Hi Everybody, I hope you are all fabulous and happy and everything is going well with your stop!

One of the things I have done during my break is I’ve been to look at a very cheap gym and it wasn’t bad at all I’m thinking that exercise will be very good for me because I believe it gives you energy and I’m going to need that! Plus I’m not good at doing exercise any other way – the nice thing is they do loads of free classes like yoga and pilates and yogalates!!!! And then there is Zumba – woo hooo, that could be fun! I could learn some new bum wiggling moves for our celebration dances! I’m still thinking about it because I need to know I can fit it into my life

Right everyone, just talking about that has motivated me to get moving. I hope you are all well and that Monky is behaving himself and I’ll look forward to catching up will you all again on Saturday.

Have a wonderful smoke free day

Love Chrissie xx :) :)

Morning Chrissie :) :)

Great that you opened up and so good to see you! That gym sounds right up your street, and I think that's spot on about getting more energy with more exercise. Or at least I'm working on that basis with more walking. Thing is I'm waking up desperate to get out and walk. So rain or shine its time to get up and at it, then whatever happens for the rest of the day, at least I managed that :) And you don't smoke and walk, so its my quit walk.

Think monky's been behaving!?? ! Definitely been keeping busy!

Yoga Pilate's and zumba sounds brill! Go for it! Join that gym! Ready for some dancing at the next celebration :)

Have a great day!

Good morning Chrissie, Betts, Jillygirl, Monket et al. Hope your week is running smoothly?

Chrissie: glad to hear your break is going well and you've found a good gym. I've found exercise brilliantly helpful in adapting to a smoke free life (endorphin fix I expect...) and hope you find the same.

Back to work for me - just thought I'd say hello. Have a good one, all.

ChrissieG in reply toJames_Morgan

Oh there you are - not sure a "break" is a good thing when you can't find who you are looking for when you get back!!!

Anyway James how are you and congratulations on achieving 2 weeks stop smoking - Wey Hey - that is so brilliantly. So how are you feeling now and have you been coping okay?

Oh, and another thing I've noticed about stopping smoking - I definitely get tiddlier quicker - so be warned!!!

Hopefully we'll get a catch up from you later James!

:) :) :) xx

Hello Chrissie

Have been on a bit of a break myself over the last couple of days - distinct lack of planning in my case though. All is going well here thanks - two weeks passed and my third week on the horizon (ten days and I'm up for my first badge!).

Apart from the occasional moment, most of my recovery has gone well so far. I plucked up the courage to pop to my local for a few with my friends (half of whom smoke - and we were sat out in the beer garden!). This went OK (I see what you mean about getting drunk quicker!) though I did spend quite a bit of time gazing at other peoples tobacco :) Laughable really. Part of my brain hates the smell of cigarette smoke and the other half is trying to talk me into sitting down wind of it - bit like the "aaagh Bisto!" adverts of old. Anyway, challenge met and overcome though I am going to have to be careful with drinking around smokers I think - to me this is the biggest risk area (that and losing my wallet :) )

Ran the Bristol 10k yesterday - I'm afraid I missed my personal best by about 1 minute but it was wet and windy so not ideal conditions (excuses etc). Had a bit of coughing fit when I finished - worse than usual - which was not expected! I'm wondering if more running will speed up the healing process... speaking of which how is your gym planning going?

Hope you are well

Morning all,

I havent been around much, been really busy dealing with the aftermath of the joke that is my life :) and my friend passed away on Sunday which was a huge shock.

Its grey and raining here in Kent, which kind of reflects my mood, so I will keep it short and sweet :)

I have hit the 3 month mark last week, but really feel the urge to smoke, which is just driving me nuts, but i havent given in, but it has been tough.

Have a really great day and catch you all tomorrow when i am hopefully a bit more upbeat xx

Betts in reply toPinkiezoom

I am so sorry about your friend Pinkie, it is a horrible shock, and loss, so much to go through. Life's such a trial sometimes, and you seem to be having more than your share.

You are doing great keeping off the fags, they don't help, sometimes you just think they will, but they just become another problem to add to the rest.

Sending warm wishes and a hug to you, hoping it helps. Stay strong, like you are.

Xxx

in reply toPinkiezoom

Aww, Al sorry to hear about your friend. Glad to hear you're still managing to stay stopped smoking. It's understandable given all the upheaval in your life at the moment that you will still be thinking about smoking, plus that 3 month mark is a difficult time in a quit even when life's not too bad. So well done you for sticking with it. :)

Well, as me and hubby are not speaking I'd best go make a drink before I die of de-hydration. Bloody garden. It's caused more arguments than WW1 and 2 put together.

Oh no Sin, why would you be arguing over the garden?

monky profile image
monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer in reply toandi22

Yeahhhhh, Andi, you tell me :o

If i could type faster, then I would give you a running commentary of our lovely Sinfree and hubby in the garden :o :D :D

in reply toandi22

Cos men, they just don't listen. They ask you a question, then ignore the answer, so what is the point of asking the question. Anyways. Tsk. Why are you fed up anyway andi. S'probably the miserable weather.
