New Lifestyle

Hi Brenda!  I havent been on in awhile-busy with everything lately:)  But I knew your 1 yr was coming up here soon.  What an inspiration for the rest of us!  I hear you on working on other aspects of our lives.  I too am trying to focus on staying fit and eating healthier.  I was lucky to not have gained any weight when I quit but I always worry it may sneak up on me so I try to keep my guard up by working out often.  What goals are you setting next?  And most importantly, what is your best piece of advice to all the other quitters working towards the 1 yr anniversary?  Can't wait to celebrate your 1 yr anniversary!  Keep up the great work.

Not sure what I am craving

Hi all, Sorry my postings declined.  I fell into some major health probs this year.  It started with some thyroid issue and then a blood clot was found in my subclavian vein and landed me in the hospital for a few weeks, then medications and lots of Dr. check ups followed by a surgery last week to remove my top rib that was causing the problems.  Did I mention I'm in my early 30's, what the heck hey?  Its been more than a stressful last few months, dealing with requesting time off of work for appts and surgeries, having to ask for help with things around the house and so on.  But I am 7 months smoke free today and very happy about it.  So I can testify that you can stay quit even under some very stressful situations.  However now that I am home I find myself figity and bored.  I cant work out, can't drive or really do anything for a few weeks until I heal.  I have family staying with me and they of course smoke and its driving me up a wall.  I dont know if I'm craving for a cigarette or craving for something to replace the boredom.  Anyhow, any thoughts out there on this?

Not sure what I am craving

Thanks for the input Rock.  Yes Lovenox and Warfarin were terrible and I am finally off of them all, hurray!  I am doing much better.  I just signed up to do my first 5k and it will be on my 1 yr smoke free anniversary-I will have a T-Shirt made for the run that will state my smoke free stats-im looking forward to it.   I'm going on 8 months smoke free and feel amazing.  I think my biggest motivator to stay smoke free now is to never be as sick as I was and to never be on those meds again. Thanks for the reminder about the brocoli- I agree that eating these foods is wayyyyy better than smoking
