I have FINALLY (!!!) started doing something about my post quit stone that i gained too...so have been doing loads of exercise.
Last time i did this amount of exercise (about 3 yrs ago) my lungs couldnt cope and i ended up gasping for breath, even though my muscles felt like they could do more.
This time, my muscles are feeling it...boy oh boy are they feeling it!!!
You've just described exactly what starting excerise made me realise! When I was a smoker I used to just get tired because I was out of breath... I never realised that there was another kind of 'tired' - the one that actually works your muscles!
Feels amazing doesn't it? Well done for starting to do something about the thing(s) you're unhappy with
Hi Clare and so well done for hanging on in there!
I've just started running again too! Many many years ago I was a serious runner. the I started smoking. OK so I can't go very far yet, but it feels soooo good! I've signed up for a 5k charity job in 4 weeks time, so here's hoping!
