5 pound mark

It is silly how 5 pounds lost can be the motivator to propel you forward.  I find it easier to resist sweets, I find it easier to drink the gallon of water that I drink each day.  Oh yes, I said 1 gallon, as in 16 cups, 128 ounces, 1 gallon.  Yes it means I go to the bathroom a lot! But other than that, I hear the compliment " you have such pretty skin" a lot.  There is something to be said for drinking water.
