Ditto to that. Great 2see U Duckman :) It's good to see another one of us making it work. Exercise was the key to conquering depression early in my quit. How's your wife?

Great stuff, Duckman! Those are lessons I have struggled to learn over the past year and a half...trying to find something that suits me! I'm afraid I haven't done any exercise since June 29 as I had surgery on my foot. After the pins come out in two weeks, the doctor says he will start me back on a gradual walking program, so that I can do the Turkey Trot 5k at Thanksgiving. I'm going to need it because I am packing on the pounds doing nothing.

Thak you all for the kind remarks. Nk2, thanks for asking about the wife. She's still at it (smoking that is) and seems to be suffering for it. We don't talk about it anymore. It's just become my lifestyle and hers. She goe's in the other room when smoking and or I go in another one. I turn on an overhead fan and we exist in the enviornment. I spend less and less time exposed to it (smoke) now. I am extremly happy for my lifestyle and I think she is fairly miserable with hers. Oh well!

I everybody. It's been awhile since I've been on site here. I was reading with interest about fitter quitters and such and replied to it. Then it dawned on me that this was written some time ago and my reply was probably swallowed up. I would just like to add that for those of you that want to also get fit as a result of your quitting smoking or for any other reason to remember that the fundamentals that got you to quit are also the same ones that you can (and should) apply for a successful healthy fitness program. As a personal trainer I know how to incorporate the fundamentals. There are zillions of programs, and how to, with lots of well meaning advice. A lot like how to quit smoking or how to lose weight. But lets just keep it simple and follow some basics. I suggest five items ( out of thousands) in order to achieve your individual goals. 1. Make a plan. Your plan not someone Else's 2. Make it a habit. Just like you did for not smoking or for smoking 3. Build in some flexibility. In case you have an injury, have a B plan, but remember don't substitute doing nothing. If you have soreness in your calf maybe instead of your scheduled three (3) mile walk you lift some weights or just do one (1) mile instead. 4. Be true to yourself. Make a workout plan that is more with who you are and less with what an article says is the latest craze. If you were or always wanted to be a dancer get involved in some dance type programs and or exercise. If it's jogging do that. If you prefer to walk do that. Don't take up pole vaulting because you just read an article in a magazine that claimed added health benefits by doing this. That is unless you always wanted to be a pole vaulter. 5. Finally work on being better at what your already good at. Don't try to find your weakness then spend an inordinate amount of time at getting decent at something your naturally not good at or don't have a real desire. Remember you probably incorporated all this in your success to stop smoking. The same basic principals apply to anything we want to do. Be it in our personal, or business life.
