His initial goal to exercise 5 times a week has not been met, he's exercising only 3 times a week. And quitting smoking has been tough. He went two weeks without a cigarette. He's doing it cold turkey, so that makes success harder to reach. Given the ups and downs, his results are encouraging.
Caveman tries to stop smoking.
He hopped on the National Jewish Medical Center's bandwagon to be smoke-free and improve the health of his lungs. Caveman found through a carbon monoxide test at National Jewish that his lungs are in bad shape. Just for example, on a normal day on Colfax, there is a carbon monoxide level of 3-4 parts per million. Caveman had 16 parts per million in his lungs. A registered dietician helped clean out Caveman's refrigerator and replace the junk food with healthier choices.
