Lance, I can only speak for myself on this one. I started working out at about the same time I quit smoking. And I discovered at that point that I am not as strong as I thought I was. Push ups were tough and pull ups... forget it. Not a chance in the world.. I was SO disappointed, so mad... I pushed myself more and more... until I realized a simple thing. I neglected my body for 20 years and expected it to just stay fit... out of what? Habit? Not happening. So, this is the approach I have with my quit as well. If I chose to kill my body for 20+ years why don't I turn things around and be as patient with the healing... So, tell you what. If in 20+ years I will still have super strong cravings, every minute of every day... I will stop my quit. Until then? NOPE
Don't get me wrong. I still have my ups and downs. So are the guys that quit smoking a year or two ago. But now I feel I have a choice whereas 43 days ago, I didn't think I did.
Keep the quit
Cristina
