Thank you to our loved ones!

O.k., confession time. Yes, I admit it, I take my family for granted sometimes; especially my husband. He has afforded me the opportunity to stay home and raise my children, manage and organize the affairs of the house without a lot of interference, and provide a comfortable lifestyle. I, in return do what women find easy to do-whine and complain about our mishaps. That's because our girlfriends will listen to us, sympathize, then give us a hug. Well, yesterday, I came home very down after an intense, "Day One of Week 4" workout. I felt like I was starting over during the workout, and my fellow boot campers were cheering me on like never before. I let it all out to my husband and told him how out of shape I was and after 3 weeks nothing had changed - you know the routine, blah,blah,blah, please feel sorry for me. Well, he did something men don't usually do, he listened without telling me how to correct my shortcomings, then gave me a pep talk and told me how proud he was of me!
Just the perfect thing I needed to hear. Then I remembered how stressful his life has been the past two weeks. He's a portfolio manager with Merrill Lynch. If you follow the news, you know he now works for Bank of America, and that yesterday the market dropped around 700 points. I quickly got my attitude adjusted and gave him a big hug and kiss.
So this post goes out to thank and acknowledge all our family members who are supporting us, and giving us the encouragement we need as we make these positive lifestyle changes. If you are like me, this is the first time I've made exercise a priority in my life, and everything else now revolves around it.
