i took it easy since it was so hot..then i had 30 minutes personal training and i really felt that my heart was going to explode. Yesterday i felt that i had smoked too much.
When i came home,i just took a nice long bath and relaxed. All these days i usually had a cig before going to bed which caused me a fast heartbeat and couldn't relax to sleep. Last night i didn't do it and i really slept better.
It's my last day today..i still haven't smoked.It's 10.30am.....maybe i won't.. but tomorrow is my new fresh day!!
And this morning-something i had never done before- i realised that among all my friens (men,women,married,single) the majority DOESN'T smoke!!! and i just thought,why am i keep lighting this thing up?!?
i'm fed up...really...pfff.....
see you all guys!

Kate, just wait when you stop smoking and you work out you will feel great, I can not even tell you how much better your work outs will be. When I was smoking it was always a chore for me to work out but I did because I did not want to gain weight now that I am not smoking I can't wait to get up and get my work out atarted. Keep up the quit and stay strong

After you quit, your workouts will get a LOT better. I went through(and will soon start going through again, lol) that period where you feel like your lungs will explode after just a few minutes of hard exercise. Like others are saying, it'll get better with time and that alone will be a reward for your quit and keep you going strong.
Good luck to you!
Kate,
You are doing great! Use the exercise as a distraction technique and get some coping mechanisms to guide you through. This will be a challenge, but we can assist you through this journey successfully.
Post often and let us help :)
Keep Strong,
Josie
