After enjoying the fruits of your labors, we all need a place to chill. This is that place. Totally senseless irrelevant banter encouraged.

Last two times I had to get clean, it took me eight weeks both times. That's from everyday usage for months. I was carrying around about an extra twenty to fifteen pounds body weight at the time. Not too bad for someone my middle age. Nowadays I'm down to only maybe ten extra. I'm not short but I'm not tall either.

Anyways, not drinking beer on the regular has me feeling healthier especially in the digestive area, which was feeling a bit worn.

The best addiction now is that fresh hot cup of dark & bold coffee (black) with my vaper hitz especially in the morning but also great whenever! :rollitiup:

update*
so the end of this month it will be 21 months of no smoking....

I weigh myself once a week to see if I put on weight due to me eating a lot more while training and not smoking, the last few months my weight has been the same,14 stones which is 88 kilos or 196 pounds so no change in weight.

sometimes I am really in the mood for exercise and I kill it in the garden, with burpees /squats and lifting weights, every now again I have a bad workout and I struggle to do it and sometimes I want to give up halfway through, but I persist and finish it off, feels great afterwards..

diet is not that good I eat what I want apart from the sugar, but sometimes I cave in and eat a half pack of biscuits, that's cookies for the Americans and biscuits are loaded with sugar... still need to get the punchbag so I can punch the fuck out of it....

I remember that natural high after a good workout. Yeah when it comes to exercise, the trick really is consistency. That's where the sometimes wall of a lack of any noticeable gain gets overcome by will.

Been a month without a beer. Was surprised to see on my bank statement was seven different occasions I purchased it last month, I thought it was about half that.
... still need to get the punchbag so I can punch the fuck out of it!
Ive got a heavy bag I haven't used in forever. It's set up in the basement though, hanging from the steel beam that is the main support for the house. I need to clear the junk out of the way. I've had it since about 1980 and it's still swinging.

Two more months, I'll hit a year. :)

When I first quit, I was worried aboot weight gain. Tracked it for aboot 4 months...pretty much stayed in the 180-185 lb range. So I quit tracking. At Easter I check again...203 lb. :frown: This is the 2nd time in life I've gotten above 200...first time was from too much beer, but I was fit, just had a layer of fat. :p. Really need to get to aboot 175 lb.

Haven't started any kind of workout yet. Lung capacity won't allow any aerobic activity...I get winded from just walking. Thinking I should just get started with 10 burpees a day, and add another set every week or two.

For the last 20 years or so, I've pretty much only drank energy drinks...3 to 5 a day. Got to thinking, all that fructose can't be good for my liver, so I'm trying to switch to more water, less energy drink. I'm down to 1 to 2 energy drinks a day now...the rest is made up of those slightly flavored Propel waters or slightly flavored carbonated waters, both have 0 calories.

congrats bro, one year is a welcome and a real positive milestone...

if you can go for walks, I mean fast pace walks and time yourself your lung capacity will definitely improve, timing yourself is great you can pick up the pace so you beat yesterday's time and so on.... walking uphill will give your lungs and calf muscles a good workout, doing jumping jacks in the garden or In a room can help your lungs get a good workout too, as ripper said in his post being consistent is the real key to it..

keep us informed on your progress.....
