JT, The Captain won't comment on the itsy -bitsy not fitting, but will coment on the second point. Excellent idea, count The Captain in. Everyone, meet JT, ex-pastry chef who is now our ship's Director of Exercise. I think your walking idea is great. You know, The Captain has been walking daily(almost) as part of a company program. I won't bore you with the details of the entire program, but for the walking thing there are 3 or 4 "trails" you walk and the first is 5 miles in 5 days, then up to 26 miles in 3 weeks, and so on. It keeps track of your steps (you type it in) and tells you how many you need to walk the remainder of the program. light, moderate, or heavy pace, it is up to the person. I am on moderate which is fine. This has helped The Captain at least atttempt to maintain his weight during the quit. So I am in, I will post daily. Perhaps you could track miles/steps walked and pounds lost. The Captain knows better than to ask the start/end weight, just the pounds lost.
MomMom - you got the right idea and congrats on the milestone. No, this is not the calm before the storm (yes I did check the weather, mid 80's, slight chance of showers , light east winds) at least for a Chantix user. I experienced the same thing, days went by, I kept saying ok, this is too easy (relatively) when am I going to go into uncontrolable shakes, and sweats, and temporary blindness from this quit? (if you go by some of the other posts in this message board) Ha, never came and each day goes by continues to get even easier. There will be moments, but they will get shorter and I mean by minutes and seconds, with time. Just keep doing what you are doing. The Captain has another fun packed day ahead and will try to check back in later on...On we go...Mr.Magic
