Woot! Never thought I would go without smoking for a month but I did it! Things are getting alot better ever since I quit. When I walk to campus and from class to class; I am not out of breath anymore! Also, being at work has gotten so much better. Before, I would watch the clock and demand my break every two hours because I didn't feel I could possibly go any longer without a smoke in fear of strangling customers. Now, I don't have that panicky reaction and I have an inner calm. I get 2x the work that my smoking co-workers get done! Also, I wait until my bosses are ready to give me a break, which puts them in a better mood with me. My apartment doesn't even smell like smoke anymore!
The only problem that I have had since kicking the habit is that I gained 15 pounds. I never noticed it until I stepped on the scale recently. So, now that I have successfully booted the smoking habit I am finding ways to get even healthier. I recently made a purchase of the 10 minute trainer and the P90. Both have workouts ranging from 10-30 minutes. So, in time perspective; I am using 1/4 of the time I spent smoking to increase my health and lose weight. I have also found that there is a euphoric feeling after working out. It is kinda like that AAAHH feeling all smokers describe. Anyways, give it a shot. You might be surprised after quitting smoking how easy it is to find some time to get back in shape.
