Still warm here despite winter being here - so chicken and salad

Olà Carlos - welcome and congratulations on deciding to quit .... I really wish I had been smart enough to do that in my 30s - so well done you :-). Read up ands stay close - there is great support here :-)

I synced them through the Fitbit app and just use MFP for recording food as it has a better database ??? Had a lighter workout today as I was a bit sore - Did some time on the treadmill and weights

Happy birthday Sue - hope you pop by and let us know how you celebrated ?? xx

Boxing at lunch and then basketball tonight ... I don't know what is hurting more ... Arms or legs LOL :-)

Wow - that is not a way you want to get out of going to the gym! Hope you're feeling better ??

Yesterday heavy leg weights with my trainer and today I did a small group class - lots of shuttle runs with high intensity exercise ... Burpees etc .....I think I no longer have feeling in my legs at the minute and loving it !!!

Congratulations- you did great and to take away a win must be icing on the cake :-). Although I still find it hard to believe people can still smoke inside anywhere - everything is smoke free here !

Awesome post Marti- and think of what a great role model you are now for your kids ...so happy for you and them :-). And maybe next time you could include a potential to make people snort out loud at work spoiler ....BEFORE including the ninja comments ??

Awesome work - congrats on a super 7 months :-)

I'm loving looking at an awesome non smoker ... Go you :-)

Right - that is just rubbing it in !! Coming into winter here and we are already whining about the cold .... I mean yesterday it was 16 Celsius !!

If their quit is like mine - that certainly wouldn't be the case ... Just say'n .... Sorry if that is too much info :-)

Yay Gabby so happy for you and so proud in equal measures ... You certainly are a clever girl xx

Hey RC - welcome aboard :-) I agree read up - there is heaps of great info here and stay close - there is great support here ... Looking forward to reading more of you :-)

Yep - I was certain I could quit when I wanted ... And I was going to do it by the time I was 30, no maybe 35, make that 40 .... Well at least I turned 50 smoke free .... I was only 18 years later than planned !!

Awesome news - congratulations xx

Hey Jess - stay strong this to will pass ... You can do this ! Get on with enjoying that wonderful smoke free life and know we are all cheering you on ! xx

There are hugs, cookies and wine here ?? How come no one told me to come here earlier - I thought you were all my friends ??

Oh sweetie - so,sorry you are having a hard time ! But yep you nailed it - smoking will not make any of these go away ! You have faced down some amazing challenges in that quit of yours and what I have admired- is how well you have done it ! Exercising, mediatation and even crying are all good .... Smoking not ... And you are consistently making the right choice :-). Hang tough and know that we are all here for support .... We love what you are doing xx

Babs rest days are good - you need to give your body time to heal .... Only prob is when there are more rest days than exercise days - and I can't see that happening with you .... Just say'n ! :-) Friday here - so got to the gym and did some elliptical and treadmill ... Am now welcoming the weekend with a well earned glass of wine :-)

Hi Rocki - congrats on a fabulous 2 months - if the chocolates are helping you stay quit then I wouldn't stress too much about that at the moment .... Concentrate on nurturing this quit first and then you have already proved yourself strong enough to deal with the chocs xx
