This week I worked to get myself back on track and feel that overall I was successful.  I Would have liked to walk on Sunday but the weather got the best of me. On a fundraising note I crossed the $3600 threshold.  I am less than $1000 away from my goal of $4600.  Today we are $3693.14 closer to a cure.  $3693.14 closer to daughters never having to go through what I did.  $3693.14 closer to never having to walk again!

It was a busy week (I feel like I say that a lot).  I didn’t walk until late in the week and I realized I was cranky and anxious and blech.  I never understood people who said that they felt off when they didn’t work out.  It appears I may now be one of those people!

Motivation was severely lacking this week.  Like big time.  My walking hit a wall.  My fundraising has hit a wall. The big success was not climbing under a blanket with a big gallon of ice cream and a spoon. Oh well.  A new week starts tomorrow. On a very positive note, Maura, one of my teammates, crossed the $3000 mark this week bringing our team total to $9482.28.  We are so so close to crossing the $10,000 mark.  AND we are the 6th highest fundraising team for the DC walk.  Her big accomplishment helped motivate me on Friday!
