Two Weeks NO SMOKING
To me this is a hurdle. Well so was the first day/week ect. I might be over the worst of this and hopefully the devil (who sounds alot like Jame Brown) on my shoulder will pack off and hit the road.
Brain function has improved, haven’t had a "brain fart" in a day or so, however the dreams are as wierd as ever. I am having alot of "lost in familiar places" or "Can’t get there from here" dreams. Hopefully they pass soon too.
I just went shopping for the weeks food and will be makin stuff tonite. I’m pretty psyched about the improvement in cardio and i seem to finally be putting on some mass after tweaks to the diet. All good and look forward to a good week of training.
I have to play bass for three different bands on Weds. It’s a jam but some of the players are very good, but mostly it’s glorified Karoke… but it floats my boat. Its alot like Halloween for the over 40 crowd.
Set goal for 200 lbs bench.. will let you know. I think chest is my overall weakest part so i will through a lil extra focus on it. All for now.

Congrats on the 2 weeks!! I quit 3 1/2 years ago and I can tell you it does get easier with time. Just watch out for that mass you put on, when I quit it was about 20 pounds of fat. It’s all gone now but it takes a while. Good luck in the future.

I wanted to say congrats on your decision to quit smoking. I am coming up on 5 years on Nov. 7th when I had my last cigarette. I know how very diffficult it is to quit especially having smoked for so long. I started when I was 13 years old! I just wanted to give you encouragement that it is possible to live life w/o cigarettes. It has not been easy but each year of NOT giving in to my every so often urges to smoke makes being a nonsmoker a little easier:-) You made the right decision and your body will thank you for it. One day at a time!
