    Default Bowing to pressure

    Due to pressure from my wife, granddaughter and doctor I'm gonna have to do a few lifestyle changes. Where I've been smoking 1-2 cigars a day I'm gonna cut back to 1-2 a week or less. I enjoy cigars too much to completely give em up. I have also attempted to loose weight in the past. I now must make a serious effort in that also.

    The doc jumped my butt a couple weeks ago. When I passed this along to my wife she enlisted my granddaughter Lexee to help apply pressure.

    I considered not listening to the doctor there is no way to escape my wife and Lexee.

    I am in good health now and I really would like to stay that way.

    For the record...I ain't dead or no where near it. I'm gonna keep hanging around. Gonna do a few more newbie sampler trades to get rid of excess stock...Possibly for some good rum. The doctor had no real objection to a drink or two.

    I'm gonna confine my smoking to my favorite cigars.

    That pressure is only there because your loved ones care. At least you are not stubborn and ignoring their plea as many of us have experienced with family members given medical advise.

    Long live the Sarge!

    Good luck with everything sarge, there comes a time in a persons life when you got to start worrying about your health. I try to work out as much as possible, just to help stretch things out as long as I can. But I know the days is going to come when I'm going to have to cut back my little habbits...

    I just hope its not any time soon.

    You gotta do what you gotta do Sarge. I, for one, have appreciated the advice and guidance in your posts and would love to see you "hanging out" for a LOT longer.

    Cheers to you

    You can have fun here and not smoke cigars...trust me We want you along for a long time so you cut back a little, add some exercise to your life and drink lots of water. Doing all that will get everyone off your back and you will feel a lot better.
    Good luck!

    do the fat smash or south beach diet...they both work and are sensible.....work out at least 2-3 days each week....cardio too.....drink lots of water......3-5 cigars each week should be no problem if you do all of the above..

    Good luck with that. I was also informed by my Doc that I'm a prime canidate for a heart attack and already made some changes. Its a rough road. At least you have loved ones near to keep you at it.

    Good luck Sarge, I have to lose some weight as well and at 39 i am pushing it, so I know I gotta do something soon or it is all downhill from here.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.

    Thanks for the support folks. I'm gonna give it a chance. I'm in good health and want to stay that way. I just need to do some things to insure that stays the same.

    My day was overweight and wound up having double knee replacement at Christmas last year. It nearly killed him. That scared the crap outa me. I'm now avoiding fast food...The curse of my profession.

    Far as the smoking goes it is starting to make sense to moderate it. I'm by myself at work 75% of the time and was using cigars to combat boredom.

    OK...Now for Mr. BigMacFU. That elderly remark is totally out of line. Just for your information...I ain't elderly. I have a story to prove it.

    I used to work with an elderly gentleman when I worked for Coca Cola. I walked into his office one day. He looked up at me and said, "Ken...I realized I'm getting old last night."

    I asked him how he knew that.

    He said, "When I got into the bathtub last night my nutz floated to the top of the bathwater."

    Well Mr. BigMacFU...This has not happened to me yet.
