Dear Molly!
I am so very sorry about your friend's death. What a sad and difficult time this must be for you. As I posted last week, I had to put our beloved 13-1/2 year old Collie to sleep just 3 weeks ago, and WOW, did that ever hurt. I cried for 7 days straight about Oreo -- and all he symbolized (our family life, the childhood of both my younger kids, etc.). I hope that your memories of your friend will be a comfort. Loving is always a mixed blessing -- but it IS a blessing nonetheless.
As for my Challenge -- I did one full session today -- because of you. I worked for an hour in the garden plus I lifted weights (upper body) for 20 minutes, and then, just because I was so happy to be actually exercising, I walked on my treadmill for 25 minutes (150 calories!!) I had to do it at 10:30pm because I had such a busy day, but so what? I feel good. *-D
I logged it all on FitDay.com for 8/22 -- and really feel a sense of accomplishment. Also, when I saw the total calories for the day, I decided to have a 10 calorie sugar free jello for dessert, rather than no sugar ice cream!! That saved over 100 calories. GO ME.
I will post again as soon as I have done my second weight lifting session -- probably on Saturday.
Thanks for being there.
Ruth
