Hello , breather here. Hope everyone survived the holidays without gaining too much weight. I neither lost nor gained any over the holidays but I'm back at it again. Down another 5 pounds in the last week which makes it down 30 pounds since October. The reason I wanted to post today is that while I was walking along the trail I started thinking back to when I'd smoke in the extreme cold. I'd cough , hack , sputter and turn I don't know how many different colors by not being able to breathe. The cold was always a real killer for me but do you think I'd take that cigarette out of my face ? You guessed it , not a chance of that happening. That was then and this is now. The cold air doesn't seem to bother me now. In fact I like to breathe deeply now that I can. It's basically effortless to walk the trail now whereas a flight of stairs would have me stopping for air before. Anyway , just wanted to contribute that bit of info and urge all of us to keep on going. Excellent for us for not smoking and trying to get healthier today. breather breathing better !
The big problem though is that my nose won't stop twitching now! Hope it gets better!!
