Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Keep up the good work Beej...have you ever tried the patch to quit smoking? My SIL used it and it worked great for her. She had been smoking heavily since she was 15 years old (she's in her early 30s now). I think she was afraid to quit because she thought she would gain weight. She's very body concious and about as big as a toothpick : ) She didn't gain an ounce though and she has been smoke-free for months now. Vicky Happy Wednesday! Ok.......so........day 2 no smokes.....both dogs are still alive, hubby is still alive (only because he had to work last night) Been drinking so much water that I slosh when I walk. Been eating OK so far.......well........'cept for the Arctic Circle grasshopper shake last night....my bad, but VERY nummy. Today will be better. Gonna hit the gym after work and get rid of the milkshake from last night I was wondering, has anybody tried mixing protein powder in applesauce, and if so, is it any good? Just looking for options. Everybody have a great BFL day!!! Beej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 I have got a patch on now. When I quit 3 years ago, I used the patch for about a week, and that was all it took. I am hoping I can do that again. What scares me, is when I quit that last time, I was a size 5, and within 3 months had gained about 25 pounds!! Guess it didn't help that I had started taking the Depo shot AND replaced the smokes with Cheetos and Whoppers. I can do it!!!! No more cheetos and whoppers!!! Thanks Vicky!!

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Great job on the no smokes! Thankfully I've never smoked but the entire rest of my family did. I watched my sister and mom struggle with quitting but they are so thankful they did. Unfortunately, father is still addicted and it is affecting his health As far as applesauce, I'd stay away from it if possible. Whole fruit is better. But, if it is all you have, it is better than other carb choices. When I did the Zone a lot of people mixed their protein powder in it and enjoyed it.

You'll be doing 5k, 10k, & 26.2 miles before ya know it! And.....with the price of gas....I figured that I should share this cool tool with you....I use it almost daily. Gmaps Pedometer It's like wearing a virtual pedometer. You zoom in on your town/street, and then start recording by double clicking on your starting point, and click on each turn & curve in the road, etc. until you've finished your route. Then, look over on the left side of the page, and it'll tell you exactly how far you've walked. Enjoy! Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you can find ways around the starving feeling because you certainly don't want intense exercise to hurt your eating control. Your body might just need to get used to the new demands that you are placing on it. Be strong. I know it's hard when you're hungry.

I've noticed this yes, Bonnie. Definately need to increase the calories on those days. Fortunately, it is usually protein that I am seeking out instead of carbs. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 WTG Bonnie that's quite a distance for a beginner very proud of you! brgk44 <brgk44@...> wrote: Good morning, ladies! Yesterday I went out interval jogging again and it went well. I tried to jog for about 1 minute each time, then caught my breath for about 2 minutes and would do it again. Did thatfor about 35 minutes and felt so alive--until about 4 hours later, when I just wanted to sleep! I slept so well last night and now today, while my shins (spelling? the front of my lower legs) aredefinitely sore, I'm alright. I'm going to do WATP today, probably...gotta recover. Oh!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I guess that the tat discount wouldn't equal a plane ticket.......you have a good point. We will all be waiting for the pics. It is hump day...Wednesday. How is everyone doing so far? Dick At 07:22 PM 10/24/2006, you wrote: I’m thinking the cost of the plane ticket would cancel out the discount you could get me on the tat. I‘ll get some pics up in a day or two. I haven’t told my daughter I did it yet and she’s got my digital camera. De Re: Happy Monday So, that is what it is like to spend a weekend home? I got a few projects done that have been hanging around for awhile and I got to watch a whole NASCAR race. I even got to watch my grandson's soccer game on Saturday.....what is that game all about? I have a pretty easy week and then on the road again this weekend and Vegas the weekend after that. I have some wood to get in for the Winter and a chimney to clean before the wood stove can be fired up for the season. That will get done this week. Let's keep those tat artists busy with some work for them. De, I can get you a good price on a tat, but you would have to come here...LOL. And we need to see pics of the rejuvenated one. Where is Patty Pooh and what is she up to? Hi to Her Redness and everyone else. Party on Y'all Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
