Still winning

Hi Tina, Great job on the SOS. That's exactly how we make it through when our strength wavers! Sos as often as you need to, there is no judgement or number of times to use it. I say that now as some others asked once. Aside from that I want to say as a fellow Mum, you are doing the best possible thing for you but also for your daughter. they are so incredibly precious and they watch and learn from us, the good the bad and the ugly! I can't speak for you but for me, the thought of my girls smoking is so awful it willed me on so use that power for yourself. I think there comes a time when we can no longer kid ourselves. On all levels actually, we are setting a bad example, we are damaging our choice to time with them, we are telling them that this is ok for adults to do.... Great choice :) And Welcome. xx

How exciting!!

Good quote!! I engaged that quote as part of my quit and it's in my taglines below.

Hi Tina, Sorry I'm late to the party. Pleased these guys were here to talk you down and that you feel amazing today, well earnt! Facing down a strong trigger takes some doing, but every time you do it has less power over you. You start to teach that part of your brain that we just don't do that anymore. great work on a 6 day quit! xx

Friday 1 hr zumba Today 1 hr Zumba Tomoz 1 hr walk along a canal.

Good news that you've done it minus cigs. It means the next time a similar trigger occurs your brain will remember we can do this without them - it makes each trigger faced down easier the next time until it doesn't trigger. I hope things improve soon for Heidi and her daughter, and you of course. That all sounds pretty stressful. x

My butt cheeks hurt - basically my butt is on fire with the crazy new class yesterday and I just had to haul it round a frikkin farm with loads of 4 and 5 years olds on a school trip...and I have yoga booked tomorrow. My forearm hurts where I spanked my arm off an exercise bike whilst vaguely attempting a move that resembles a windmill, div! My stomach feels funny, I'm on the crazy drugs and low cal diet with aloe vera stuff that's uber rank. My back might hurt or it might just ache, I'm not even sure anymore. I'm a proper little ray of sunshine right about now and I can't even drink wine on this diet, meh.

nope.

Feel better soon Colleen, hope the surgeon can do a speedy fix for you. xx

nope.

Isn't it, sounds "easy peasy Right?! lol. There are some wicked ones on you tube, you can practice at home. Even just doing a 20 minute session 3 times a week I noticed my stomach get way firmer (than it had been, not flat haha) so it really does build your core strength up but takes a couple fo months to show results so don't lose heart. It does get easier though, we heard that before right :) I have been doing crazy classes for a while and started losing weight slowly but my stomach got flabbier again, so you just inspired me to sign up to a class on Friday too! Tues 30 mins Core workout (cxworx) and then 1 hour of zumba. Today (weds) An hours class I've not done before, says it includes step, aerobics and conditioning...so we shall see Tomoz rest day as I'm going on a school trip so some walking I guess.

The part where you say, you thought you'd lose yourself but go on to explain you actually found yourself! Yeah that!! They should preach that from the hilltops in smoking cessation clinics shouldn't they?! That run looks mad but awesome Babs, great job! 3 years I already said elsewhere but it's inspiring, so thank you. x

Hugs to Doreen and Tony, that's rubbish. Hope he improves a bit being home my friend. xx Fuc king dying on this diet...me and my bright ideas of not eating actual food for two days. never in all my days have I been as excited about sodding porridge tomoz morning as I am right now. Shhiiiiiiittttt. Also 2 days without any wine though ... longest I've gone for years!

What a beauty!! So happy for you both. Brit's rule ;) x

You'll be masterchef in no time ;) Pleased you've got the coffee sorted too! Enjoy. x

Nope! The only nope that always makes me smile :D
