Congratulations on a fabulous 5 month Mason - awesome job

Thanks MQ - they look great ... So guess we are just waiting on the kitties now

Hey guys - hope the mojo is fully functioning today ! Given it is night here - am happy to share some of my sunshine - particularly if it makes you feel better - just remember to return it in a few hours !!

Hey Ev - late as always but you have put a huge grin on my face too - so proud of you :-)

Chicken and bean chilli - served with lots of salad and quinoa - which I forgot to photograph :-)

Small group training - read torture by bootcamp instructor - at the gym

Beautiful sunny ( we call it cool) 25 celsius ( around 80 Fahrenheit). ... Mmm I love the lead up to Summer ! :-)

Sooo close - can't wait for the party to start !

Happy 3 years - thanks for sticking around and reminding the rest of us this doesn't have to be hard - appreciate it

2 weeks is fantastic - onwards and upwards from here

Awesome job - 2 months is fantastic

Congratulations - you got this tiger !

Hey Ladies - sorry the weather is crappy in your neck of the woods ( I won't mention that it is Summer here... Oops did I just say that out loud ?:-) ). But from what I know smoking won't improve the climate - or fix paper cuts ! - I think a lot of us early in our quits were abstaining - that is where the one minute, one hour, one day aha time comes in handy - it will get better but in the interim you need to find some distractions - exercise, reading or whatever else comes to mind when it is cold, dark and you are housebound with a significant other :-)

Aine - you have been through so much - it is no wonder you are feeling all over the place - but you know smoking won't fix anything. I love the idea of yoga ... It will help calm the mind and hopefully provide a distraction. As the others have said - even down the track in our quits - we all still face triggers ... I know I was hoping that at some point the thought of smoking magically disappears - unfortunately that doesn't happen! What does occur though is we recognise what we are thinking and if we are smart we do something about it - like post on the board and ask for support :-). You can do this and it will get better, but in the interim stay close to the board and ask for help - we all want to give you whatever support you need !

Just cardio today - treadmill and elliptical

Yay you - congratulations :-)

Awesome job - congratulations

Awesome job Delta - congratulations and make sure you celebrate big time :-)

Sue - sorry you are having a bad time - but I am sure the party will b a success ! Re the new avatar - am pretty sure that will get a reaction :-)

I remember sucking constantly on my asthma inhaler - whilst still being in denial that my smoking had anything to do with it !!

Congratulations on a fantastic 2 weeks - doing great :-)

Awesome job - congratulations :-)

Hey Kristin- late as always ! If I had a dollar for every time I got changed and headed outs for cigs early in my quit I would be a millionaire! It is natural to think about smoking - we just can't act on it ! So glad you are feeling better now ... And the best part is - you will keep getting stronger and stronger !

I am sure you will be happy with the results - sending prayers your way !
