Still around. Still smoke free!!

So, I've been busy dealing with our recent move and getting ready for the baby and sort of forgot about the blogs. Well, I'm back and still smoke free. Not only that, I am also NICOTINE FREE!! I stopped using the lozenges about 2 weeks ago and haven't looked back. They were great, but I found myself reaching for them constantly so I decided to quit for real.

I am seeing the benefits of my new life. We moved from a 2nd story apartment to another 2nd story and I did most of the moving- she used the pregnancy as an excuse to bail...LOL- and I was amazed that I wasn't gasping for air, or hurting (lactic acid builds faster in smokers) as I used to. I feel better, sleep better and breathe better too.

The only draw back are the 13 lbs I have suddenly found sitting around my waist. I'm not sweating it though, I can always go to the gym and/or start a diet. I'm just glad I get to tell my kid about smoking and quitting and not look like a hypocrite.

'till next time...
