Yes the song title says Ive just completed my 7th day without smoking and I'm really on a high,      I did give up last year but stupidly went back last September but now I'm full steam ahead again.

this time I really sey my mind to it and decided to make it a real challenge by trying to lose weight as well,     and every smoker will tell you when you give up you put on weight not lose it.

well I have really disiplined myself and been going for a nice hour long walk each morning and feeling so good,    at the start of Feb I weighed 20 stone 2 pounds and just been weighed this morning   18 stone 9  so WAAAAAHOOOOOOOO    and thats was with a bag of mini dime bars over the weekend ( well it was my birthday )

so just off for my walk now with may just include a few dance steps along the way  ( a sight for sore eyes  ) 


so its dfay 8 today and yes I'm counting as every day without is another little battle won.


have a great week everyone and yes I can smell spring in the air so not long now and dont forget 28th March   clocks go back  and we all know what that means   WET SUMMER        just joking I know for a fact its gonna be a fantastico summer.

well done aqua lad..keep it up our kid....i quit drinking on the 13th of feb weighing 17 stone 8 i now weigh in at 16'5 and havn't changed my diet one bit so it just goes to show how alcohol piles the weight on....also its 4 years today since i kicked the cigs.

as i said our kid keep it up 

Nice one lads , Does this mean Aquatec is the heaviest wf poler at 17stone with Kirky a close second .

Kirky lad , are you 16'5 with the back pack on or off .As im not sure you ever take it off do you being a professional backpacker

I need to get back out running i was 12'4 when doing marathons and football , now my little lad is 4years old im 13'8 .
Its hard to juggle work and kids as you lot know .However going for a 10 mile run tonight , hopefully be bacck by midnight .

keep up the discipline lads

couldn't you smell it on her   since i stopped i can smell a smoker from 50 yards and it makes me gip

my missis stopped 3 days after i did..if she started again i'd out her..i can't stand the stink of em

how took the wee out of me when i said i give up drinking,hmmmmm kirky lad.

well i havent had a drink since august 2009.

ha si run every night i noticed a big difference in my fittness levels.

i did put weight on over xmas,excess food lack of running and getting out to work took it toll.

now back down to 13-4.

i am going to be running the london marthon 2011,for a charity that is close to us.i keep you all up dated on that

Thanks Kempy lad but 17 stone is a little wat off for mre just yet at 18/9  at the mo but was over 20 stone not long ago so yes I could be one of the heaviest   but at 6ft6 I also suspect I could be one of the tallest.



thats what happens when you fall asleep in a greenhouse  ,   thing is my mother said I wouldn't be long 

yes they say 16 stoe is about right for someone my height but believe me mate if I were 16 stone I would look ill,  2 of my ex birds both didn't like it when I got down to below 18 stone as they said I looked to thin ?

women eh   you cant live with them  you cant live with them 


haven't heard anything about the Ionics speed pole  but hopefully I will be going the cleaning show ( work permitting )

Good on all of you for giving up, i stopped on the eve of the millennium at midnight, never had one since or even thought of having one..
I will be doing the great north run later in the year, so need to get my BMI down to a reasonable level.

Anyway those that stopped smoking last week dont give into temptation and resist the urge, it does get easier over time.

well done mi old china....plain sailing now mate..keep it up 

  Good on you wee yin.

even if you dont find it easier on the ladders i am sure the ladders will appreciate the effort

well done to you all and good luck

did you do a full days work to lose that kirky
