A smoker for 8yrs, quit for 4yrs, then back on again for 2yrs, I finally decided that if I wanted to create this healthy lifestyle smoking just didn't belong in my life anymore.

Today marks 12 days smoke free for me. (quit cold turkey)

On monday I started the C25K program ... again. I've attempted this twice before but man if it wasn't hard enough luggin' around all the extra weight, I felt like my lungs were going to combust into flames. 2 days of the program completed this week...yeah sure it was hard...but my lungs didn't BURN which it made it feel so much more doable!! My lungs don't feel ON FIRE anymore when I workout.

wooohoooo!!!!!

    Congratulations!! I quit smoking a little more than two weeks ago. It's amazing how much better I feel on my brisk walks now! I still have urges and cravings, but it's so worth it not to smoke to feel this healthy :) Keep it up!

    Thank you!!

    Good on you for quitting as well. It's not easy, but it's getting easier, and as you said it is SO worth it.
