I just joined a health club..........

and I am so stoked. It has been a long time since I put this body through a good workout and with all the back problems I have been having I hope this puts me back at the top of my game.

Next hurdle: Quitting Smoking

Wish me luck!!

Good for you!!!
Ya know, when I was working out (and I willbegin again here in about 30 minutes ) I found it easy to quit smoking...

I needed air in my lungs to keep working out!!!

Just please for the love of Pete don't smoke immediately after working out!!! Your lungs are just so expanded and your body will soak up that smoke like anything...

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

Good luck!
Starting is the big step, it'll soon get addictive and you'll like it so much you can't stop! Have fun

Good werk.
Quitting smoking is easier than some people make it out to be.
Make sure you are ready (hard part), you want to, and you have support.
Don't let your mind convince yourself that it is OK to have a cig.

"Well, you know, I havn't had a cig in 2 weeks and I hve had a stressfull day. I really like smoking so I can have just one." -BS! dont let yourself do it.

Thats great! Working out sucks at first but you get to the point where you feel like crap when you slack off and feel really good after a good workout.
Love that good sore feeling.. ( do not take that anywhere! )

But now for the important question.. y'all coming to AOT?

awesome!!!!

if you can, talk to your doctor about the back problems and find out what you can and can't do. and see if you can get a good personal trainer, because what they will show you is amazing compared to what you can do on your own. they'll help you mealplan, design exercise programs, learn how to do the exercises right, and adjust the programs when you hit a plateau.

Quitting smoking is easy. I do it every month...

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

Actually I'm hoping this gets my weight back down to the 200lb range, my 135 is scaring the shit out of me. I was actually looking at upsizing and then decided that losing weight would be cheaper

OMG..............my whole body hurts!!!! I can barely lift my arms to type. I cannot believe I am that out of shape.

And, you guys were right about not smoking afterwards, besides, I can't lift my arm long enough to light a cigarette

Thanks for the support everyone.
