Hello all. Yesterday I had a great day of being able to smell things again. So I wanted to know what are some of your new favorite smells and tastes now that you are all ex-smokers?

Mmmmmm, those are great.

I'm an oddball. When I quit my senses of taste and smell decreased and have stayed that way ever since. Oh, well. A good investment, I figure it to be.

I love the smell of coffee. The coffee isle in the store. And when I take my walks I can smell all the food people are cooking in my neighborhood. Mmmmmmm

I love the smell of downy fabric softner in my clothes. I always used downy but I could never smell it when I smoked. If I could get my husband to quit, I would have it made.

    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...
