I noticed there were several things missed from the list previously posted and wanted to add a few. 

102. March in place or round and round a table.

103. Eat a piece of chocolate candy.

104. Bite into a lemon (yup - rind and all)

105. Put your head in a freezer and take a deeeeeeeep breath.

106.Raise and lower your arms as you slowly inhale, then exhale, going slower and slower

107. Do the multiplication tables in your head,  or long division, or divide fractions!

108.  Name all the states alphabetically

109. Then name all their capitals!

110. Think of a girl's, then a boy's name that starts with each letter of the alphabet.

111.  Think of something to add to this list.

Feel free to add any that have not been included on the list on my page or this one...............

115. Consider buying MRE's after you call for delivery from speed dial #1 and they recognize you immediately by voice and can recall from memory your name, address, "usual" and how long its been since you quit smoking.

About the Author
I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
