No time like the present to stop smoking and get in shape. Here’s to getting in and staying in good health!

I started smoking at age 11 and was up to a couple of packs a day by the time a heart attack forced me to quit them 36 years later. That was 15 years ago and I am still kicking so it can be done.

Sorry to hear of your health issues. Hopefully you are able to quit smoking and that puts you on the path to becoming more healthy. Best wishes for a happy and healthy recovery.

@les green01 sorry to hear this, have smoked myself for some time until i decided to quit. And those workouts can be a chore but they are absolutely necessary.
We went sailing and i did not take cigarettes with me, going to be distracted by manoeuvering and navigation anyway. The others did not smoke or so i remembered. When we boarded two had just begun smoking, and some 50 cigarette packets with them.. but i resisted.
Wish you a speedy recovery, keep your head up

Smoked from the age of fourteen before giving them up in 2010 after 39 years.

Good luck with your health

I started to smoke in the dark from when I was 11-12 years old and smoked openly when I was 16-17.
Have gone from ordinary cig to e-cig did this late last year.
It's nothing but nicotine and tobacco flavour

My smell has returned.

Good luck with getting back into boot camp shape. I would try to replace the smoking habit with a different habit. I can recommend both chess and vodka to keep the mind sharp and the body in shape.

I would also take what a doctor says with a grain of salt. They don't make money off of healthy people...they will always find something. My dad was diagnosed with your condition. That was in 2008 or 2009 and he is 87 now.

ATTN Les: resurrect some old Marine pack, 1 full canteen, and your 'possibles bag' and do 10,000 steps a day; wear a poncho or waterproof serape on rainy days to keep your flint-rifle powder dry! That's all the workout you'll need! "Semper Fi"tness BBY! I'll be with U in spirit!

You bring up a good point. I’d say most of today’s health problems stem from a sedentary life style more than anything else. Take congestive heart failure for instance, it isn’t so much a disease than it is a symptom of sitting on your ass all day. You have to keep moving, hike, bike, walk in the park, go mushroom hunting, swim, fish, do something besides watch TV or drive to the doctors office.

I'm finding that advice increasingly difficult to follow as I progress through my 60's. It's much worse now that I am working from home too. My office chair is literally a dozen steps from our bed room.

Les, if anyone can do it, I know you can.
