Now you northern hemisphere people are just being mean !! I mean way to rub in it will soon be winter here !! :-). Not to worry though our winters are pretty mild AND I don't have to go out in any wet weather to smoke ...so all good here ! :-)

I have done this before with hubby - you will def feel your abs - but can I just suggest though be careful with the leg raises - doing lots of them can put a strain on you back ..... My super fit hubby ( who already had a six pack and was just doing it to support me !) seriously hurt his back and the chiro pointed the finger at the leg raises and said people shouldn't do more than 10 ??

-16 ... Up latish then ?? 6.45 pm on Thursday here - almost dinner time

Hey RF - out of curiosity what time is it in your neck of the woods ??

It is where you will be in 11 months time ...sharing a drink with me !! In our terminology the Lido is where we go to celebrate our 12 month anniversary .... And many a party has been had there I can tell you !

Awesome job Paul- 7 months is fantastic :-)

Yay you - congrats on a wonderful month - onwards and upwards from here lovely lady

Great post CPK - and you are already a Lady of the Quit and inspiring others ! And just remember if you even think of dropping that beautiful quit on its head ... I will report you to the authorities for quit abuse ...just say'n !!

-12 - afternoon all :-)

Hey TEW - welcome to the train ! You will find lots of support here ! Smoking helped us mask heaps of emotions and even at 4 months it is natural to be emotional - I know I was always all over the shop at that point in my quit ! - so stay close. Remember - it is much better to ask for support than to smoke ! xx

Aww sweetie thank you. Sometimes I forget how bad it was - but that desperate line reminded me !! ..... Please, please , please keep posting ! I stay her to support others BUT I truely believe those "others " keep me quit xx

-18 - yay gotta love insomnia NOT :-)

-16 ... Evening Colleen

Awesome job Jengels .. Congratulations

CPK - I so understand what you are saying ... It does take time and that can be frustrating ( is it now where I say stop texting, fidgeting, rolling your eyes ... and look at me young lady ?! ) While you are waiting for the great benefits ( and they do happen - I promise ) exercise is fantastic ! It delivers measurable benefits , you walk away feeling fantastic and it is damn near impossible to light a cig with boxing gloves on !! So go to it ... And don't forget t to join us in the exercise thread so we can see how you are going !

Yesterday small group training - including boxing, legs and some running( read shuffling ) with weights.!! Today training with my new trainer - had to tell her to work me a bit harder as I know I slacked off a bit !! Then finished with self induced tabata ... I think that was my form of penance for not working as hard as I should of earlier !

Beacon - out of my head now !!

Hey CPK - month 3 can throw up challenges - but hey look at you - you have already proved you can face them down - so don't stress. Just keep doing what you are already doing take it one day at a time and Keep active on the board - giving and receiving support makes this whole process so much easier You have got this ...and you can't smoke a year cos I have already saved you a spot on the lido deck ... Just say'n

-14 - Aus evening shift reporting for duty !!

Oh my - don't know what is where but hubby is all for the craft beer state, and I'm torn between farms and bars, pet tigers and pandas .... So voila there is my US agenda planned if only I knew where I was going !!
