Met my first week's goal

I completed 5 days of working out this week. I did 4 days in a row straight. Took the night off, then got right back up and did my 5th night tonight. Thanks to Sarah for motivating me!! I probably would of used the cramp in my calf as an excuse. I've had it all day long but once I started working out, it just worked itself out. I think warming the muscle up helped or something. Maybe more stretching even though I have been trying to stretch it all day!

To those who have commented. Thank you! Your encouragement means the world to us and I know that it helps so much. It isn't easy to put something very personal, very emotional as weight and the walk we are taking to lose it on such a public forum. Having encouragment makes sometimes the hardest days seem bearable and the easy days (are there any??) even easier.

Thanks so much!!

Oh and another little tid bit sort of related to weight loss (hee!) that I've been meaning to write about is that the water where I live stinks. Litterally. It has an odor to it. I'm used to rich mountain spring water back home and this stuff tastes like potting soil! I hate it. I had a water purifier on my tap at my former apartment but when we moved here the sink is completely different and the spout is too low to put a purifier on it. I finally just got smart (and financial able) and bought a Brita Dispenser. Oh man! What a world of difference it makes! The water is tasteless! Just like it should be. I've been drinking water by the gallons I know it. I haven't had a hard time meeting my water requirements this week!
