I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

I do smoke now and then though, a pack maybe twice a year. However, after a couple of drags my muscles start to ache again and I feel awful if I smoke more than 3 cigarettes in a day.
I used the patches to help me quit and a LOT of prayer! It is definitly worth it to quit. Yes, it is stressful to quit but smoking does make the FM worse. Besides the FM you know it's hard on your heart and everything else but you have to make the decision to quit for yourself.

My mom and her hubby just quit 2 weeks ago on Champix. He was a 3 pack smoker and she was a 1 packer who LOVED smoking. Now, she says it makes her throw up.
