Rep Power: 7 | | Congrats on shaving a minute off. Glad you had a good work out last night. what's the website that tells you how long a run is? So far, I've been stuck driving my car around it to see how long my jog route is lol. Something like that would be great |

Purpleshirt, I use the directions part of google maps to do it. Just put way points along your route. It works great. |

Rep Power: 19 | | Going for weigh in today... gained last week... so I really wanted to make this week a good one... messed up a bit on Friday to Sunday, but hoping the rest was on track enough to earn me a little loss this week... Hold thumbs!!!
Today I stop smoking and start increasing my lung capacity and sense of smell. Wish me luck!  |

Rep Power: 19 | | Thanks Madness! Day 2 is going well... I just hope it's the physical withdrawal making me feel like I have a flu coming on... taking extra good care of my health now just in case.
Yes, I will be watching the food closely, but I think it will be okay as I'm very accustomed to my new healthy eating habits. A big reason I wanted to stop is for my running... looking forward to that getting easier!
So weighed in today and I have lost 4.4 pounds!!! I am absolutely ecstatic... my goal can still be reached as per my plans! I wanted to be at goal 9 August... Gonna DO IT!!! |

Rep Power: 19 | | Ok, so yesterday was a crap day... I've never felt withdrawal from cigs before, now I have. I can't believe that there is such a great effect on my body, as previous times when I tried to stop I was either sick and stopped due to that, or I used the nicotine replacement stuff...
Today I put on a nicotine patch, the smallest one. I'm hoping this will give me some comfort today, as yesterday was hell! |

Rep Power: 7 | | | Congrats on the loss. I can't even imagine quitting smoking, it would be so hard [I don't smoke, but I can only imagine]. You have some serious willpower and just take it one hour at a time |
