My Quit Smoking & Start Running Thread

[Alcoth]

I've never tried one. What else goes in it? V8?

[princesa]

that's not a bad idea, the last time i had a v8 i was a kid! but i think maybe they put fructose and artificial flavorings in it. I'll check it out. i want something super green and super healthy.

[Alcoth]

I like V8 Splash (made with fruit and veg instead of veg and fruit :)

[princesa]

but is it green?

[Alcoth]

not usually, but neither is V8!

i did not smoke a cigarette last night. the e-cig kicked the curb to even though it tasted awful.

my jog on sunday was exhilarating, since i can't jog like that during the weekday i might do some dvd workout at home in the evenings.

back still hurts, going to look up good back exercises. i ate really healthy yesterday, salad for lunch as usual except i didn't pack on the croutons or the tortellini and no chicken. i actually packed on the broccolli and brussel sprouts. the sauce they put on the brussel sprouts (cooked) was so delicious i could eat it all day. maybe i'll ask the deli today what they put in it to do it at home.

no broccoli spinach shake yet.

woot gal.

The Superman Exercise is one good back exercise (there are many more, but it is one I like that doesn't require weights.

[princesa]

thanks muzicman for your encouragement!

Alcy, that superman one looks easy enough, i will try it later, thanks!

there some good Pilates videos on YouTube. And you don't need much to be able to do Pilates.

They're pretty good. (we also have them....I must admit I battle to do them....but because I do the exercises like once every 3 months which doesn't help)

it is a tough battle, if you have children and have some fatigue b/c of smoking it's even worse.

but more than anything else, i'm sick of making excuses!!!!


...but tonight the pastor is coming over to bless the house and i have to help the kids study for their tests so no workout.

[princesa]

no cig last night, did use e-cig. No workout, waiting for large rug to be delivered to start doing it in the living room, looking forward to my jog on Sunday. will try to do it Saturday too.

Awesomeness. Sounds like you're doing a great job, girl. Keep it up
