I started a new exercise and eating plan about a week ago and have lost 4 pounds so far. My exercise routine is walking on the treadmill 5 days a week for 45 minute sessions plus resistance training 2 days a week, 20 minute sessions. I enjoy cranking up the tunes on the IPOD Docking Station and drowning out the rest of the world during this time. It is so nice to get into the cardio without gasping for air! Have you all heard about the new IPOD accessory? It is a transmitter that fits inside your shoe, and speaks to your IPOD. Your IPOD will speak to you over your music periodically, giving you time, distance and I think calories burned. It is available only by pre-order right now and will start shipping in July. Anything I can find to make exercise more fun I will buy! (No, I don't work for Nike and have no investments in the company, just sharing).

I think I may be onto something about the anxiety and just wanted to share my experience. I am not giving any medical advise, I am only sharing what I believe has been working for me. I started taking amino acid supplements GABA (1500mg) and Taurine (1000 mg) at bedtime about two weeks ago and have not had an anxiety attack for about 10 days now. Granted it could be the other lifestyle changes that I made, like cutting out caffiene and sugar, and processed foods from my diet. All I can say is, I am feeling much better on the anxiety front. I am much more calm and daily stresses don't send my heart racing anymore. My blood pressure has dropped too.

Gosh, I sure hope I can find all of you when I arrive in 41 days! I'm sure the brochures don't do the new place justice! By the way, is the VIP club II pet friendly? I would really like to bring my one year reward with me!

This is so strange. My first smoking dream was very early on in my quit, within the first month if I remember correctly. There were no more, until last night. Now 344 days into my quit. I dreamed that I got upset about something, and smoked 3 or 4 cigarettes one right after the other. There was no coughing, it was like it was only yesterday that I had smoked the last time. I woke up with a start. Initially I did not realize it was a dream. I felt terrible, no longer able to say that I made it to one year without one slip. And then the realization hit, that indeed it was a dream. And the bigger reality is, that I am stronger than that demon ever gave me credit for! I just wanted to share this experience, to let the newer quitters know that Nic can and will sneak up on you, often when you least expect it. Stay strong, stay true to yourself, and stay quit!

Welcome back, Bog! I've been thinking about you lately, wondering where you had gone. Something tells me you just might make it this time! One day at a time.... :) The physical addiction ends today!
