Christine's never going back

Yes. I finally had my last one on 6 October 2014.

I started taking prescribed stop smoking tablets (after speaking with my doctor) two weeks prior and almost finished my first set of pills.

I am so happy that I have stopped. I can concentrate on my fitness and family rather than going for a smoke every two hours when I'm bored. What really hit me was when I was exercising with my fitness group on the day I stopped, I was short of breath and couldn't even run. I said to myself that's it, I've had enough. Chucked out the packet, ashtray and lighters.

Since then I have been exercising six days a week. Usually three days at the gym for at least an hour, two days of one-hour Zuu night sessions with my fitness group and every other day is going through two hour of boxing and Zuu with my husband.

I do feel a bit tired now that my body is in the healing process of getting rid of the toxins of cigarettes, however I am more happy than ever.
