Day 5

Hello again!
Today was day #5. I've made it almost through my first week, with no faulter. Today's workout was Back and Legs. I tell you what....If I finish this with nothing els, I am definitely going to have some killer muscular legs. haha Anyhoo, along with that workout, it was time, yet again, for the Ab Ripper X. TORTURE!!! Each time I do it, I do a lot better than the last, but I am anxiously awaiting being able to completely keep up with them with as many reps as they do. That will be the last of the Ab Ripper that I will see until Monday. I am even more exhausted today than on normal days. Yesterday we were told by the meter man that we have a water leak somewhere, so I, being the cheep skate that I am, have spent about an hour over the last 24 hours getting down and personal with our crawl space. I wanted to know, at least, that my house's undercarriage wasn't flooding. Military crawling the square footage of a hard and rocky crawl space is quite a workout in itself. Anyway, we finally, with the help of a retired plumber neighbor, decided that it must be the main line from the meter to the house. Now, I'm left with 1 perplexing question....Where in the world has the 50,000 gallons of water that has leaked gone to??!!! There is absolutely no sign of the water anywhere, but the meter is just a spinnin'. I had to swallow my pride and call a plumber. They have spray painted my yard and my flower bed and have plans to dig up and replace the whole pipe. Yeah....$600!!!! Go figure. Luckily, the electric company is "supposed" to adjust our bill. We will jump that hurdle when we get there. On top of all of the water drama, I started my grad classes for the semester again tonight. I now have 2 months to find and read 10 articles on a certain subject, write a 2 page paper on each of them, do an interview with another teacher, create a presentation on that, Write an 8 page research paper on that topic, and again create a presentation on that. Hmmmm. I wonder if I can pay an expert $600 to add some more time to each day. Needless to say, I am feeling a little bit wiped out today, very soor, and ready for bed. However, I stuck to my program. Didn't get done until 10:30, lost some precious sleep time, but sacrifice is what it's all about, right? I WILL not get discouraged. I have some pretty big goals set, but I know that with God and the support of my wonderful hubby, I will reach each one. Ok....I will stop whining now and go nurse my bruised and scraped knees that my new friend, crawlspace gave me.
Food intake:
Breakfast- I was bad....skipped breakfast from feeling stressed and rushed. I know I should NEVER do that!
Lunch- Turkey sandwhich with mustard and a slice of cheese, 1 fat free yogurt
Dinner- An ENTIRE can of spaghettios, because I was STARVING. Luckily, the entire can was only 350 calories.
No sodas again today.....just TONS of water. Yes, I have earned frequent flyer miles from the bathroom over the last couple days. :o)
See you tomorrow!
85 days to go!!!!
