  1. Please just add the 2 laps and be done with it. Then you can move on to adding a 3rd one when you next want to show you :).
  2. @Katgirl, I've been learning on youtube. There's this runner I admire and was watching some of his youtube videos and at some point his mom's video came up running with him at age 78. Then another one popped up doing push ups at age 81. You never know where inspiration is hiding. If our words help you to get started, it's what we hope for, isn't it - to make a difference in 1 person's life.
  3. You did well to stay safe, never know what's going on. Where I'm running these days, it's farm land and country roads and unfortunately it means dogs with no fences and they get excited to see someone running. I'm now picking my routes to avoid those streets which is a shame as I kind of like doing different routes. Went back to the trail this weekend and completed 10k with a few walk breaks. Legs, just above the ankle area, were on fire but ... I showed me. Met a little snake on the trail but it quickly slithered away before I could get the phone out. I avoid treadmill for the repetitive motion (plus mindless boredom). Road running is similar though not quite as bad perhaps. Plan to do more trail running - get those muscles strengthened. Last week I finally paid premium price to buy some used plates and dumbbells and an exercise mat. Don't have the space for a bench or barbell. I'm finding you can do a lot with bodyweight and dumbbells and am enjoying doing some weight training after months. However, it's kind of difficult to do bench press without a bench.
  4. Nope!
  5. Nope!
  6. @Dianne you're doing awesome! Surely there's something you've been wanting to do when you have some free time. I rearrange things sometimes, or will dismantle the stereo setup and set it up with new components or arrange albums alphabetically or by genre or something. I'm sure you have something fun waiting for you. If you can't think of anything, get out on your bike and try to get lost on new streets or trails.
  7. @Katgirl Love that! I tried to go trail running the other night and it's a different kind of difficult (to road running) and my legs felt tired quite soon. I needed some of that attitude... next time I'll show me :).
  8. Nope!
  9. Love shrimps, exp. jumbo ones. Enjoy brussel sprouts in small qty. Sorry.
  10. Hi Anita, welcome and Congratulations for the decision to be free and not be a slave to nicotine the master. I apologize but if you took a puff, it resets the clock to day 1. Unless you can be brutally honest about this, there will always be the odd puff that allows you to 'retain' the quit .... except it won't. The only place it will lead to is a 2nd puff then a 3rd etc. I truly want you to succeed and feel it's important to keep the line straight and simple ... there's no in-between.
  11. @Steven Drojensky, Sorry to hear it. But also happy that you're right back at it. As others have mentioned, please try to come to the forum before you smoke. The thing is the craving only lasts a few minutes. If you post an SOS, people will jump in and help you get past the crave. Just take a moment to post the SOS. The craving passes in a a few minutes and you'll be glad you kept your quit and proud of it too. Again, happy you're here and doing it. Stay strong.
  12. Nope!
  13. Hi Linda, I hesitate to speak because the situation is so sensitive and delicate that I fear I'll say something to make it worse (which happens to be what I do quite often it seems). I'll just say this - do you want to face this situation a slave to nicotine or a master of it? When I was going through my own issues in life (and I was angry about a lot of things), the one thing I decided I wouldn't allow was to be a slave to addiction and used my anger to make it my enemy and fight it. I hope you find a way that works for you to fight it also.
  14. Nope!
  15. @Robbie, well done. Ice cream any day. It sounds delicious. Great to see you're getting stronger and able to fight back.
  16. Good job @GetBack26844462.
  17. Good to see you back L4L. The 2016 group seems to be doing the vanishing/ reappearing act.
  18. Nope!
  19. Congratulations on 5 years Jillar! You have been an inspiration to many of us here. I was having coffee in the backyard and a bunny was playing around quite close to my legs totally unafraid of the human. Guess I can only look at bunnies fondly now. Thank you for everything you do.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
