It's Saturday!
68 days, no nicotine! Smober.
Lots of exercise today... raked the front yard for about 3 hours today. Worked up a major sweat! Doin' good!
No snacks at all, no caffeine at all!

67 Days no nicotine, doing great
It is Friday! A little progressive-rock music linked in the title for this post. (The title track to ContraRevolutionary.)
No smokes or other nicotine for 67 days... working towards my 10th week. What a long strange trip it's been.
Did great with snacks today. Just a few shredded wheat squares and a handful of pistachios. No other stuff. It helps that work is out of carbo-munchies.
Caffeine? Meh... can and a half of soda.
I did 21 round-trips in the stairs at work in 31 minutes - still working more muscles harder on my stair-stepping... today was another day that I lost count by one at some point... when that happens, I subtract one from my total to be sure I got at least what I need.
Now for the weekend... gotta find a good place for walks near home...

Observations of a non-smoker, 3.30.2007
Ex-smokers dealing with ex-smokers.
Fascinating subject. Really.
I watch/participate in conversations, forum participations, and chats between ex-smokers.
Sometimes, ex-smokers are good in their support for each other. As always with the human race, there are also a few who are unkind to others - they seem to think that tough love is the only way to get people to stay smoke free.
In my experience, being unkind and being non-supportive is much worse than "coddling" or "babying" ex-smokers. I don't think of "supportive" being the same thing as "coddling" or "babying" - quite the opposite. Rather, I think being positive, supportive, and understanding makes ex-smokers (and those who have slipped) much more comfortable and much more likely to stay on their quit.
Just my 2cents on my soap box...
I'll step off my box now.

Not Smoking Stats For 3.29.2007
Pretty good day today!
Moderate snacks and caffeine, though not ideal.
66 days with no nicotine! I'm going like an old highway through the south of the country.
I did 21 laps in work's stairwell today, more muscle work, but took a minute longer, 31 minutes. I hope I can figure something out for when it is a zillion degrees and humid here (in the summertime). Maybe bring shorts and such to work and change before and after exercise?
Lots of water (as always).
