Stop smoking, ease up drinking and getting fit thread

[dobbo]

I only smoke on night shift now. There is a reason to this madness. The coffee shop is closed so I cannot get a Capo.

Well what a bizzare thread to come home too, just been to the doctors regarding twinges, time to loose weight he said!!!

I already gave up the smokes about 18 months ago and i only have the odd cold one at xmas, but for me its the exercise, but with my new rusty series 2a sitting on the drive that should help me get out a bit more.

Count me in for the suspension friendly club!!!

Cheers

Its good to see this still going on, I have been off the smokes since March and have cut my drinking down lots. I have the worst flu I have had in years currently but all in all you feel heaps better and its surprising how much money you save

Pack of 40's a week, near 2 box's of Melbourne....plenty of physical work but, need to go to work for a breakand I've just bought a still

I don't wanna change

Sometimes you don't wanna change but you have to. At 24 i was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, i had to cut HEAPS of **** out of my life, i was doing a lot more than 2 slabs a week if you catch my drift. You could substitute the ciggys though for something else.
















like more beer

When trying to give up smoking, dont substitute eating or chewing chewy gum as a replacement, fastest way to wang on wieght, I went cold turkey no patches or anything, wasnt easy not saying it was, I had the right mental capacity at the time to do it, I just threw the smokes my ashtrays in the bin, washed and cleaned everything, I kept telling myself I will live longer and if I went back to smoking I would die quicker, motorvation enuff that was.

We purchased our own capo maker and put it in our office

Plant schedulers only!!!!

I agree, delete your post....

Keep up with the non smoking guys, it will be one of the best decisions you make, I gave it away cold turkey in 1970 and also keep my weight to manageable proportions (82Kg), however there is no guarantee that I will still be here tomorrow, our time comes when our time comes.

Glad it's not just me then...I feel better now.

Was about 20k's overweight, 10k's gone already, another 10 would see me back to my wedding weight 4 years ago, and a few more after that would be even better. Never would have believed how it goes on so easily and doesn't come off after you turn 35.

Never smoked (Watched it kill my old man at 59, so never had an attraction to it!!), used to drink heaps but now down to just a social beer or bottle of wine with meals and special occasions, but had a real problem with coffee, chocolate, cake and takeaways/junk food!

Did a detox a couple of months back, and made a real lifestyle change with regards to diet, and it's coming off slowly but surely...plus, managed to run the whole 7.5k's round the local lake for the first time last week, plus upped the circuits of it on the bike too, so feeling very smug at the moment. Set myself a goal with the wife of doing a 10k charity run next year....
