Hey Lori - I joined a running club once...then i came to my senses!! It combined two things I absolutely hate - physical exercise and getting up early on Saturdays!!
I must admit, though, it did make me feel a little bit good...and I always do the CIBC run for the cure...
Anyway. I'm glad you found something you'll enjoy! You deserve it.
Breakers RULE!

As I am still ON the patch, I cannot presume what will happen when I one day reach the point where it is time for me to run around here nekkid...
However,
I believe that I know myself well enough now to know that smoking has been integrated in every aspect of my life. I would constantly be aware of the next time I could have a cigarette, and if I knew I couldn�t have one for a long time, I would �stock up� by smoking 2 or 3 in a row!! I feel that I need to change every little aspect of my life, and become comfortable without CIGARETTES before I can kick the nicotine addiction.
My thought process is this: if I want a cigarette this badly NOW, even though I am still getting nicotine via the patch, how can I possibly do both at the same time?
I�m addicted to more than just nicotine...I have to change my whole way of life. From which train I take in the morning, to not drinking as much alcohol, to dealing with everyday conflict in a positive way.
I quit cold-turkey for a just over a week back in September when I went down to Dominican with my b/f and two non-smoking friends. As soon as I came back and got back into my regular routine, I found I couldn�t (wouldn�t?) fight the cravings brought on by everyday routine.
Long-winded, but that�s my opinion about the patch. I applaud all of you who can go cold-turkey, but as I said, I feel I know myself well enough to know how to go about this the right way for me.
It�s working so far!!
;p :) ;) :8|:

Unfortunately, BFS, I used to be one of those Stinky-Mac-Stinkers!! My fianc�e used to tell me all the time not to smoke before getting in his car (he quit 3 years ago), and I would get angry at him telling him he was overreacting, that I couldn't smell anything that gross...now I know better.
My name is Lucy, and I used to stink like a wet ashtray sitting on top of rotting garbage.
Today, however, I smell like shampoo, lotion and a little bit of
perfume!
