I went with the e-cig vs the gum, patch, pill, etc because I feel that most of my addiction is mental rather than the nicotine - I smoke when I talk on the phone, take a break at work, etc because it gives me something to do. They sell nicotine and non-nicotine cartridges and I bought both because I plan to start using the non-nicotine with every other 'smoke' that way I can start getting off the nicotine and then quit completely. In the meantime I'm not taking in the other 4K chemicals found in cigarettes and already feel 10x better. Good luck! |

I'm just trying to get back into some kind of workout routine this year. I was a regular at the gym for 5 years and got into body-building in 2009. Then in early 2010, I was forced into a sedentary lifestyle and lost a lot of muscle mass, along with gaining several extra pounds.
But now I'm down 30# and feeling pretty decent again. I won't ever lift weights again the way I used to, but I should be able to get back to a lighter routine now. Good luck to everyone else with their 2011 plans! |

Wasn't really a pledge. Went to see the doc the other day to discuss blood tests and other subjects(they are only a month and a half old but I already knew the results, had enought experience lately.) What if I would have had a serious problem you ask and didn;t know how to read a blood test, damn good question. I am a little skinny for my BMI. Blood tests all normal, everything else is ok so the doc pops off and says, "I want you to walk half an hour each day." So my non self appointed New Year's "resolution" is a walk around the block each day.

Sugar is the worse thing you can put in your body, use honey or something else. I firmly believe is was a contributor to my getting cancer.

I fell off the P90X wagon last fall after a move.
I pledged to get moving again. Not sure if I'll do full blown P90X, maybe just a light 30 minutes of upper body 3x a week and some stationary cycling. I was doing Plyo 3x a week last year until I fell off the wagon. That was a bit intense. My little pot belly came back in no time over Thanksgiving/Christmas. Ugh. |

I have made no resolutions since I have never kept one yet, but I have to do something or I feel as though I won't make it until next year.
At this time I am in such bad shape that I can barely walk the 300 yards I have to walk in from the parking lot to my office. At home, climbing the stairs takes me 5 minutes to recover from. I had a cardio stress test last year and told there ain't nothing wrong with your heart, you're just too fat and in bad shape. |

I gained weight when I quit smoking and I now realize it was all sugar related.
Be surprised what happens when you just cut out the sugar. |

Crap, I could shave 35 pounds of glue if I can get my schiznit back together. Working in Boca is making my regular workout routine difficult.

I've been doing more cardio like running and the eliptical, but i need to start working with weights more.. but with thoracic outlet and a sholder that still isn't right, push ups are not high on the fun list...

I made a pledge to cut down on my drinking. Ok, not really!

We have Wii and for Christmas we got Just Dance 2 and I tell you what, that in itself is a great cardio workout. Both doing it and watching it! I've never laughed so hard watching someone play a video game. |

I never thought I'd be "unfit" again. But the only way to fix that is to get back on the fitness routine! Week two here. About to head to the gym. Didn't walk Dover today. My Southern self cannot take a super brisk walk sucking in (literally) freezing air! |
