Get fit!

I'm waiting smoking because I want to get back into fitness. Been smoking for a year now and I've stopped swimming running and going to the gym. This past week, I've started running again and I'm nowhere near as fit as I used to be so I'm getting right back into it and pushing myself. Any encouragement would be appreciated. I started champion two days ago and am not smoking from Tuesday!!! Yay

One day at a time for me. This is my first day. I ate a giant apple instead of having my morning smoke. Instead of smoking this morning I just went back to bed. Fitness sounds good. I have had a sweet tooth. I think I'll have carrot sticks and hommos for supper

Hey. Thanks for the feedback Penelope and congratulations on your first day. Really happy for you. I plan to quit Tuesday. Started taking Champix days ago. Good luck!

I quit about a month ago using champix and stopped smoking on day 10 of using it. I found the thought of giving up worse than the withdrawals of actually doing it. Like you, I wanted to get back into fitness and now eat clean and workout every day and it feels so amazing! Your quality of life just improves so much and you will feel so positive about life again. Definately do yourself the favour. You won't regret it at all.

Thanks for the good news Tara. I had a few cigarettes today and even though it's only the third day on champion, I already feel crap having them. I'm so looking forward to giving them up and all the stories and encouragement from everyone is awesome.
