One Year Later
Sorry I haven't been able to check in lately (sick computer), but I wanted to let everyone know that as of Feb. 3, 2012 I have been smoke free for one year.

Support Needed
I thought about making the subject line "Help Wanted" but honestly "Support Needed" better describes my situation. I'm looking for folks who can help keep me going. Last year I started off great. I stopped smoking, started working out and eating right. Around August, work got really stressful and I started eating junk…

The Calorie Battle
I stopped smoking three months ago. In order to flush my body of nicotine I drank lots of water...I mean A LOT OF WATER. Since I was making a major adjustment by quitting, I allowed myself to eat as much as I wanted. Unfortunately, that didn't last long because as you know water can really fill you up. So instead of…
