Craven and Bi-Polar Bear have inspired OCCOM BILL to finally

Last I heard, Heeven still deserves Gold stars.

I also believe that part about losing weight easier after quitting. My waist didn't get bigger; it got softer ... and I have to assume softer fat will melt away quicker. At 6' and 167lbs, I don't need to lose any weight... but I could certainly benefit from rearranging it a bit. :wink: And so I shall.

Bill- Now this is what you have to do to get that six-pack back:

Where'd you hide the web cam?

I'll never tell!

O'Bill, come for support to our A2K weight loss club. Which has turned into a mad workout house for some. i could post a link. but that's too complicating before my morning coffee...

I wanna join dagmaraka. I'm trying to shuck my somewhat matronly figure for a more svelte one.

Checking in.

My habits have changed - since I'm off the ciggies - now I have to keep myself busier since I am avoiding the smoking routine I was in. I have been working later recently, doing more walking (what with the nice weather and all), shopping and cooking new recipies, and I got involved in a reading class once a week. This takes me away from my old habits and, although I haven't weighed myself (I don't own a scales), I don't think I have put on weight as I don't notice my clothes fitting any differently. As a matter of fact I am less breathless when I am out walking - don't know if it's the giving up the ciggies or the walking routine increasing my lung capacity.

Anyhoo, I still have a supply of the lollies just in case and I do eat more gum and tic tacs than before.

AAAHhhhhh poopshit! You dont have to gain weight after you quit smoking. I didnt.
Now that i can BREATHE I can do alot more of the things I like doing.
Forget the gym
Forget the mountain bike
Forget the hand weights
Forget the workout videos
Forget the weight training


Just have lots and lots of SEX!!!!!!!

you burn off more calories that way. Expand your breathing capacity and DAMN you feel much better after having an orgasim then you ever did after a cigarette!

What about us folks that are mate-challenged?

Occom are you going to change your avatar?

We need to see the new improved no smokin-occom.

One of these days, Paulaj, I'll post a few choices and let the ladies decide.

naked? [snicker]

Damn you chicks are horny on this thread. If I'd have known, increased circulation was going to cause this kind of stir; I'd have quit years ago! :wink:

Ah c'mon - it's Friday - give us a little something man! The natives are restless.

Heeven - 'nice weather'?! You LIKE this steam bath?

I busied myself when I quit, as well. Congrats to you, if'n I haven't told you so already.

Lying on my deathbed, many years from now, I am confident I will still be at loss to explain why women object to being treated as sex objects. Why object? (begins searching hard-drive frantically for nudes.)

Eh, isn't that candid shot Phoenix posted close enough?

LittleK - well it's a bit humid but some nice days - I don't even mind when it rains (when it rains). It's going to be cooler this weekend which I am looking forward to.

O'Bill - what candid shot? I must have missed it.
EDIT: Oh you mean Mr. Crunch above? That's NOT naked!

Ahem ... no-one told me about this side effect of cutting out the nicotine!

it is a rawther nice side effect, isn't it :wink:

We, on the west side of the Rio Grande River in Albuquerque, got our first real monsoon thunder, lightening and heavy rain storm yesterday afternoon. It finally broke the long drought with desperately needed heavy rain.

With four skylights in my home's roof, the sound of rain is very audible. My dog Maddy got very nervous and insisted in cuddling on my lap as the thunder roared directly overhead.

Everything smells clean and fresh. Aaaaah!
