I survived Shrinkvivor Week 1

I started out on this week thinking, "this is the worst week for me to start a weight-loss challenge!"  Why??  Because I was stung by an insect on Sunday evening and woke up Monday with a skin reaction on half of my arm.  I was put on Prednisone & Hydroxyzine, which made me feel jittery and anxious, hungry and tired but couldn't sleep!  Then Thursday a sore throat hit. Went back to the Dr. and found out I had a sinus infection so I was put on an antibiotic on top of it!  Ugh, and I hate taking medication!!  After feeling sorry for myself for a couple of days, I was highly motivated by my team, "Tribe Navy Seals,"  to get back into the game.  So,  Saturday I started really focussing on my calories, water intake and made the goal of walking 3 miles a day.  I'm very happy with my results today! 

        Starting Weight on 9/15/10--- 146.8 lb.
        Today's Weight on 9/22/10--  144.4
                              Weight Loss of   2.4

        Miles logged in for Week 1 Challenge = 13 miles
          Daily water intake =  82-96 oz.

I'm feeling so much better and I have a much more positive attitude, bring on Challenge #2!!  Go Tribe Navy Seals!!
