Hi Bob and welcome. You can do this - read up and stay close to the board - you will find great support here

Did some time on the treadmill ... Yes I know that sounds like I am in jail - probably quite apt ! Then a double session with my trainer - including boxing ...am now feeling every muscle in my body ! Have discovered - I keep thinking It will get easier, my trainer (aka la Perra) keeps thinking that means she can push me harder !!

Hey Petra - late as always ! Just the one question - when are you coming to Aus ?? It is nice and warm here and flip flops ( we call them thongs ) are comseidered a dress accessory ! Just saying

Yay MG - sending bunches and bunches of congratulations to you - you are doing awesome

Hey guys - hope the mojo is fully functioning today ! Given it is night here - am happy to share some of my sunshine - particularly if it makes you feel better - just remember to return it in a few hours !!

Hey Ev - late as always but you have put a huge grin on my face too - so proud of you :-)

Chicken and bean chilli - served with lots of salad and quinoa - which I forgot to photograph :-)

Small group training - read torture by bootcamp instructor - at the gym

Beautiful sunny ( we call it cool) 25 celsius ( around 80 Fahrenheit). ... Mmm I love the lead up to Summer ! :-)

Sooo close - can't wait for the party to start !

Happy 3 years - thanks for sticking around and reminding the rest of us this doesn't have to be hard - appreciate it

2 weeks is fantastic - onwards and upwards from here

Awesome job - 2 months is fantastic

Congratulations - you got this tiger !

Hey Ladies - sorry the weather is crappy in your neck of the woods ( I won't mention that it is Summer here... Oops did I just say that out loud ?:-) ). But from what I know smoking won't improve the climate - or fix paper cuts ! - I think a lot of us early in our quits were abstaining - that is where the one minute, one hour, one day aha time comes in handy - it will get better but in the interim you need to find some distractions - exercise, reading or whatever else comes to mind when it is cold, dark and you are housebound with a significant other :-)

Aine - you have been through so much - it is no wonder you are feeling all over the place - but you know smoking won't fix anything. I love the idea of yoga ... It will help calm the mind and hopefully provide a distraction. As the others have said - even down the track in our quits - we all still face triggers ... I know I was hoping that at some point the thought of smoking magically disappears - unfortunately that doesn't happen! What does occur though is we recognise what we are thinking and if we are smart we do something about it - like post on the board and ask for support :-). You can do this and it will get better, but in the interim stay close to the board and ask for help - we all want to give you whatever support you need !

Just cardio today - treadmill and elliptical
