You ever think you need to just be more active? Can't expect to be a marathon runner right off the couch. I quit smoking cigarettes this past X-mas, and I thought it would be a drastic change in my breathing ability. And it was substantial, but what really needed to be done was for me to be more active more frequently. I now either skate, bike, or hike at least 3 times a week and I'm blazin' past all my buddies that still smoke. Good luck with the girlie.
