Bobbi, Many quitters do experience a temporary lack of concentration. Until it passes, try breaking up any task that require focus into smaller parts, taking breaks in between. Danielle - Bilingual Support Specialist

ok, so even if i am the only one, i am a couch potato who is moving. Today I bodyboarded for 45 minutes. The waves were bigger than the ones I have been riding lately, but not as big as they used to be. I let myself get so out of shape, but my REAL body is letting me know it's still in there somewhere. it was soooo fun! -aloha [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 82 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,280 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $557.60 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 11 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 11 [B]Seconds:[/B] 36

OK, I am starting this thread up again....let's motivate each other, all you wonderful nonsmokers out there! Yesterday I dropped my car off and took the bus home. Well, close to home....I walked from the bus stop, including a BIG hill. A few months ago I couldn't have done that...partly because of the smoking, partly because of the weight. Now, even tho I have too many extra pounds, I managed it just fine. I have been attacking the neglected weeds in my jungle....rip and tear, that's my motto... Been getting to the beach 4-5 times a week. Depending on the waves, have been bodyboarding. Please add your fitness activities everyone...it is motivating..at least to me -aloha [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 80 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,200 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $544.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 11 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 46 [B]Seconds:[/B] 27

Ok..I did good Tues I walked around an elem school and went around 4 times and did it in about 40 mins. Today I walked around the exact same way and walked it in a little over 30 mins. My heart was beating, I was sweating. It felt great!I feel bad for smokers--they don't know what they are missing!

OK, had to do something active before I posted again. Back to the garden after a couple days of couch potatoing. Actually, I work pretty intensively Monday thru Wednesday, so unless I get a really good night's sleep Sun-Tues, I don't seem to be up for much physicl activity. Bad for the metabolism. I bet mine doesn't know what to do...slow down, speed up, or what..lol But, I figure however much I do is better than nothing. How are all of you doing??????????????? -aloha [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 56 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,240 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $380.80 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 7 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 7 [B]Seconds:[/B] 42

Lainey, Don't get too discouraged. It is recommended that women do not weigh themselves daily as it can fluctuate with a gain or loss of up to 3 pounds due to hormones and water retention. Keep walking! Danielle ______________________ The SSC Support Team

Just keep on walking Lainey....one pound is nothing compared to the good you're doing for your body by not smoking --aloha [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 54 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,188 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $367.2 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 7 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 40 [B]Seconds:[/B] 24
