Congrats on cutting down on the ciggies! It's a big step. I know I felt so much better when I quit 17 years ago. I am so glad that I did, even if I did find a whole new person lurking underneath and am now twice the woman I was! Now if I could only get rid of all this excess baggage I'm carrying on my hips because of it! Last year I managed to lose two stone, but then I found them again, unfortunately! What can I say, I guess I just love food and cooking too much! This is a wonderful piece of writing Lis! Congrats on cutting down on the ciggies! It’s a big step.

You've gone from 12 packs a week to 5? I'm impressed beyond words! If you can accomplish that, you can go the rest of the way -- with flying colors. I have a few projects of my own for this year, and I'll be marching along with you, I hope. Congratulations, and thanks for the inspiration. Lis — this is wonderful to read.

Thanks for all the support! Karen.. we can do this! Do you even enjoy smoking anymore? I know I don't.. every time I light one up I think to myself "What the hell is the point?" Two things I've noticed since I've dropped from 12 packs a week to 5 packs a week.. my hack - it's no where near where it use to be. Instead of 3 guaranteed episodes a day of horrible hacking, I cough in the morning right after I get up and that's about it. And hell, I really believe that I cough badly in the morning not only from the cigs but because my house is so dry and my throat is irritated when I get up. I've also noticed that a walk from the parking lot of the hospital to the doctors offices inside where my mom needs to go (I drop her off at the door and then go park), is no longer winding me. That's pretty significant.. that short walk use to make me feel as if I were going to pass out because I couldn't breathe. So already I can see the benefits!!! Now let's just hope that mentally I can divorce myself from the cigs 100% by summer. xoxoxoxoxox Awww yous guys! Thanks for all the support!

We loved that you wrote with such honesty and reality about those issues. Looking forward to reading more!

Makes me want to blow the dust off my old phoodplan that I only lost 10 of 50 promised pounds on. If they only made wine with no calories, I'd be a babe tomorrow. Nice job, Lis.

I can't join you in quitting smoking (since I don't) but I can stand waaaay over here by your side (I'm in Canada, I can't be too close!) and cheer you on - you go girl! Way to go Lis!

I'm experiencing a shape intake of breath and thinking, if I could make a wish about two people to quit smoking it would be Lis and Baking Soda. I'm telling you both that would be fire works in my world! You have my best on this one. Oh Lis you are marvelous!

Maybe (just maaaay-beee) I should jump right beside you on that bandwagon of getting smoke free. I know I want to! (can't help feeling relieved to find another smoking ally though which is not exactly the right frame of mind but very soothing). Great post Lis in true lis-fashion!
