i have to finish what i've started part 2

Good Evening. I just got the Carmen Electra "Fit to Stip" DVD from Netflix today. I hope it doesn't kill me. If you don't hear from me again you will know what happened. Glad you're feeling better.

alright.... a few months ago my dad had a really bad case of pnuemonia (sp?) that landed him in the hospital. while there they found out he had a tumor and had suffered two heart attacks while sick... He was in the hospital for two months. he is doing fine now but the doctors told him he needs to quit smoking. i thought he had but just found out he didnt. so i was wondering if anyone on here has ever quit smoking or knows someone who has and have some helpful hints. i would really appreciate some advice. :)

I quit smoking about 2 1/2 years ago. I quit cold turkey. I quit because my daughter (who was about 6 at the time, said she couldn't wait to grow up to be like me so she could smoke)
 
Thanks Manaloa. I wish my dad would quit cold turkey. He's just not in the best of health and the smoking makes it worse.
 
You could always try the guilt route. If you're not married you could always tell him you want him to be around to walk you down the isle, or to be around for your kids or yadda yadda yadda. you get the idea.
 
I've tried the future grandchildren thing and he just says yeah yeah yeah i will. But he doens't. He just ends up getting angry with me. It's so frustrating!!! Thanks for your suggestions though! :)
 
I quit smoking in May. I did it cold turkey too, but there are anti-anxiety medications he can start taking a few weeks before he quits to help. Bottom line is he has to be ready. If he is not, nothing will work.

The CE DVD is No 2. Good Luck with your Dad.
 
Thanks... I know he won't do it until he is ready but, I thought for sure he would be ready to become more healthy after he almost died!!! Aside from my husband he's my life! I just don't want anything to happen to him.

I'm glad you got #2 it's awesome!
 
Love the #2! It is all stuff I can actually do (for the most part) and they really explain it all well and go slow. I hate the ones that just jump right in and you standing there trying to figure out what they are doing.

It's so sweet you love your Dad so much. I hope he does quit. Have a great day tomorrow.
 
I'm so bored and I really want to eat hashbrowns...:) I guess I better go to bed before this craving takes over!
 
Okay, this has nothing to do with weight loss. I simply wanted to write about how happy I am to be in a good relationship. Last night at 2am my phone rings... it's one of my good friends. Her bf is in the background screaming at her. I've never in my life heard such things screamed at my friend. He seriously ripped her a new one! I was so upset that I couldn't go back to sleep. I just stayed up thinking about how lucky I am to have someone so solid and loving!

Then at 4 am I was scared out of my mind because someone was in my house!!! My husband doesn't get home 'til 6 but it turned out it was him. He brought be home flowers and a card thanking me for being such a trooper with all these long hours! :) Why can't my friend find a guy like that... it just makes me so sad for her. I know her bf was drunk but that's no excuse to say the things he said. He revealed to me some personal stuff that I could tell she kept quiet for a reason. What a jerk!!

On another note... I miss my aim buddy. :(
 
Your husband is sooooo sweet :)

I feel for your friend. Is she happy in the relationship she is in? the best you can do for her is always be there for her, whatever happens.

You mentioned hashbrowns - mmmm - now I have a big craving for them myself :) (must keep strong!!)
 
HAHAHA sorry about the hashbrowns... they are my weakness and for some reason I have some in my house... :(

I will stay by my friend. It's sad though because this guy was really awesome when I met him. She was happy up until now. I guess we will see what happens. I'm pretty sure that as of now they are through.

Hope you have a great day!!
 
I'm done with Carmen Electra workout for the day. I will most likely do something else later but I have some stuff I need to get done now. :)
 
Does anyone know how accurate the scales are that measure your body fat?

My scale measures it and from when I started this diet I have gone down 3%.
 
Hey Hf2006,

I can see a lot has happend since I read your diary last so forgive me if I'm a little outdated.
I am sorry about you dad, I know how its like. I call my dad the living corpse, he has gotten so many operations, nearly died once or twice, but he is a surviver. He doesn't smoke though... But my sister does, I know she's having a hard time stopping again, I think she eventually gave up, but thats not to say its impossible. Maybe you can get him on the renew-your-life-train, like tell him about how good you've been feeling since you've started loosing weight. Its sort of has the same affect.... I don't know...
I am also sorry about your friends bf. I hope its going better. I don't think she should put up with it though, maybe he need some angermanagement or something. I am not saying he's hitting her, but words are also a kind of abuse, so if its really bad, then maybe she should leave...
I think that was about if for today... chekking the tread... there has been a lot of carmen electra lately, good work:)
About the body fat thing, I think it depends on the brand, maybe its alittle of, but you can still use it to see how much you are going down... You know, when its like you are standing still on the weight, but in reality your loosing fat and gaining muscles...
Well, have a nice day, sorry this got so long...
 
Thanks Mahatt... My dad is just going to need time. I know this but I just wish he'd quit faster.
As for my friend... I've some how gotten sucked into their drama and am now being called every 5 minutes!! I am no trained professional !!! haha Oh well, I told her to stay away from him for a while. They're both just hurting each other... not healthy!
I love the Carmen Electra dvd. You should try it it always makes me feel refreshed when I'm done. :)
I think that you're right about the scale. I will never know if it's right unless I go to the doctor but at least it shows a change in something!

Hope you're having a great day!!
 
Alright... another day done. 1 hashbrown eaten.... hahaha. I couldn't resist it. That's not all I ate though... don't get the wrong impression. That's just my little mess up and right before scale day ... oops! ;) Anyway, the rest of my day was good! My hubby is coming home in 25 minutes so I actually get to go to bed with him!! I'm actually going to get a good night sleep!!!! :)
