  • I don't even want to say how long I smoked, but it was over 30 years and on January10th, it will be 3 years since I had a cigarette. I didn't put on too much weight in the first year, but then started putting more on in the second year. I also had a new job and wasn't teaching dance anymore, so I'm sure that contributed to…

  • Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I have been putting ice packs on my shins after I walk/run, but decided today to only walk.
