I was on my treadmill today and without even realizing it, I went past my 45 minute goal and made it all the way to an hour! For me this is a huge deal because when I was a smoker and 40 pounds thinner than I am right now, 35 minutes on the treadmill used to kill me....i would be so out of breath it was terrible. Its been four months since I quit smoking and I was so down on myself, i kept telling myself how bad I felt and what was the point of quitting if i felt so bad......I see the point today... MY BODY IS HEALING After 15 years of putting poison in my body by smoking, it is starting to recover in only four months.....I'm blown away by it and so thankful I quit for myself and my kids

Next time I feel down or depressed I hope I will remember today. Plus the exorcise is making me feel great mood wise....Just wanted to share this

That's awesome!!!!

I know I could run a lot longer and further when I was not smoking and wasn't out of breath as much. The next time you feel down and depressed hop on the treadmill and remind yourself why you quite!
