Start your day off feeling grateful for what you have instead of focusing on what you don't...and your day will be sweeter. Life is real good because....................... Because...I walked/ran up 5 flights of steps at work and noticed I didn't have to stop and catch my breath for 5 minutes before exiting the stairwell. Thank you!

Lololol!! No way! I have kept up. Day 4 done!! No pizza yet. :)

Hi Sinha! Welcome to the Quit Train!! It was a smart move coming here. Just adds another reinforcement for your already solid quit. Plus, the people here are awesome. Congratulations on being a non smoker!!

Good morning Quit Train passengers. :) got my ticket. Destination: Nope!! Beverages are now bein served.

I'm here :)

so it's the end of the night and i'm already in my jammies and I remembered I didn't do the challenge....grrrrrrrr so I start to do them. I get thru one burpee and had to modify the other 5. Note to self: NEVER try a burpee without a bra. EVER. That is all

Love this one....as it pertains to quitting smoking among other addictions and bad habits Enduring Discomfort Missing Our Old Habits Whenever we make the effort to free ourselves of an addiction or a habit we no longer need, we are often surprised to find ourselves missing the old pattern as we would a familiar friend. This sounds counterintuitive, because we think we should instinctively gravitate toward what is good for us. Yet, it makes a lot of sense when you consider that we humans are creatures of habit. This is why we gravitate to people and places—and patterns of behavior—that make us feel comfortable. Therefore, many of the habits we form are not conscious and are based instead on learned behavior from role models who were not always making the healthiest decisions. Most addictions begin as a way of avoiding feelings that are extremely uncomfortable, so it makes sense that stopping the addiction means a fair amount of discomfort for a time. The same is also true of habits that we have developed over time that we are ready to release. Just knowing that this is hard, and having compassion for ourselves as we work through this process, can help us to stay the course when we feel the urge to backtrack. It’s also helpful to remember that in time we will establish new, healthier patterns, and the yearning for the old ones will disappear. Eventually, we will instinctively reach for things that are good for us, and the longing for positive change may form the basis of a new habit. The only way to get to this new place is to endure a time of difficulty, which is a challenge we can confidently handle, if we remember that it will lead to the change we seek in our lives. Our bodies, hearts, and minds always need time to adjust to a new way of doing things, but they will adapt, and even become our allies, if we remain true to our vision of a new way. http://www.dailyom.com/articles/2008/12412.html

day 3 and I already forgot to do my 6 burpees....darn! I will have to do them tonight but it's funny cause in the morning I am so limber and energetic during class and for a few hours after. When I go home in the evening, however, I am like an old lady. Slow and uncoordinated and stiff. haha Bakon...you crack me up :)

Funny thing was...it was Sunday and my "rest day" the hike was nothing Arm day today...I used heavy weights today...my arms and shoulders are cooked but i feel great Happy Tuesday!
