Three months....

[nsd_user663_4025]

....or more exactly 93 days smoke free. The longest every. I haven't post much lately as I needed some time to adjust and control my own struggles....but happy to say I am still here.

What I have achieved:

Run 10k on new year's eve with a new PB without much training.

Gums bleeding again - circulation getting better

No coughs

More money - I think....

Feeling proud, proud husband, kids, family and friends

Renewed sense of being able to achieve anything if I can stop smoking

What I still need to achieve:

Believe me, I am not out of the woods yet, smoking thoughts still come and hit me out of nowhere - specially through the holiday season

Last week of the patches - next week will provide another challenge but I will become nicotine free

Eating too much

Grumpy

But in general I am very very happy and want to encourage early quitters to not give up, as it only gets better!!!

I want to thank all the people who helped me on the early days - Max, specially achieving his year now, Gemma Lou, glad to see you are back, jennigens, always encouraging words and lots more who I cannot name all here, but also just reading and reading the posts.

Good luck everybody and now for the 6 months milestone

Thanks Magicmom,

Not sure about that after chirstmas....managed to put half a stone even with the run - that is what happens when I go back home for two weeks with my mum cooking all the food I haven't tried for a while!

Will start the diet on Monday!!!

Well done you as well

Well done Marta! Also very well done on the 10k, that is awesome

Well done Marta. I'm not that far ahead of you so I know exactly what you are feeling right now and you should rightly be very proud. Fantastic achievement and I am sure you continue to surprise yourself by how well you are doing. A quarter of the way to the penthouse as well, super achievement.
