New to group!
HI everyone, i just joined today! i was off to a great start getting back into shape and then last sat our water pipes frozen and here it is a week later and i still dont have any running water! I dont know if im just using this as an excuse or what but it sure does seem extreamly hard to live a healthy lifestyle with no running water! its actually kinda depressing, and i sit here not knowing if and when my water will get fixed. my landlord said this morning that a plumber will be here today for sure yet, its starting to get dark out and its been snowing like crazy ALL day and several inches of snow already on the ground, I wish they would call just to tell me that there NOT coming but i guess ppl do not do that *sigh* So how do i get back on the band wagon with all this going on?!?!?!? Seems so hopeless at the moment.

Welcome chrstnamrie! Life can be stressful...we can all attest to that! You just have to make a commitment and try your best not to let stressful times get in the way. Having said that...cooking a healthy meal and having a shower after a good workout are necessities! Pretty hard to do these basic things without running water! Hope you get your water restored soon!

Hi Debbie and thank you so much for the welcome and the info! I am def going to check everything out that you mentioned and join in on the challenges and the threads you mentioned! *sigh* im afraid that i am going to be with out running water for a long time so i guess i just need to force myself to focus on other things and what i do have going on thats good and so on.

well, yesterday i had finally had enough and all i could take after one week and one day with no running water so i called the landlord again and this time made a total fool out of myself but got a REAL plumber over here and he had it fixed with in the first 5 minutes he was here! turnes out that the very first "non plumber" that was here turned off some water valves by accident when the pipes were frozen and the other "none plumbers" did not realize this because they were NOT PLUMBERS!! This is clearly why an actual plumber should have been called ON THE FIRST DAY! SMH ANYWAY! im just thankful to be back to normal life! :-)
