I posted a couple of months ago that I was going to try and quit smoking. I have opted the slow stop method. Which so far, has been working quite well.
I have gone from almost a pack and a half of cigarettes a day to 6-8, depending on how I feel.
I start my day making myself wait a few minutes before I light up. I've been trying to increase this time a little each day, without much success. I am also waiting longer after eating to smoke. This one has been successful.
I quit taking my cigarettes with me when I go on short trips, run erands, etc. I have not had a cigarette while driving in 2 1/2 months. Woohooo, that is a big one for me. I used to smoke like a fiend while driving. I even went on a short trip (1 1/2hrs) without smoking once. I am very proud of myself.
Except for tonight, I have not had a bad attack in about a month. Which is excellent given that I am on a stop smoking cruisade.
Keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I am really trying.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
