Anyone need some rain? We've got lots to spare as we've been getting dumped on since before 9AM this morning. From the looks of the radar, I think we're going to be wet for most of the day.
DH always tells me the weather forecast as he leaves for work. Today, he warned me of the system that was heading our way and said that in just a couple hours, we'd probably be rained out.
So, I rousted myself and got the dogs out walking early....a mere 78 degrees and cloudy! Of course, the humidity was horrible. Anyway, it was decent enough that I took the dogs 1.6 miles. Then I went out for some more mileage over on the lake route. I had my earbuds in and was groovin' on the tunes, so I didn't hear the approaching thunder.
I guess I came out of my music-trance enough to realize, Gee, it's REALLY getting dark and, wow, the street lights have come on again. I disconnected the music and, sure enough, the thunder was getting louder and closer. I picked up the pace, as I had a good distance to go to get anywhere near my home. It began to look pretty bad, so I thought it best to begin to jog (oh no!). I didn't have much farther to go, so my jog wasn't more than a block or two. The rain began as I was cutting across my front yard to get to the front door. Made it!
My mileage for today was 3.5 miles, just a bit less than the 3.8 I thought I was going to do.
Tomorrow "really" begins Maintenance for me. Last Friday, at a church volunteer activity, one of the gals took a look at me and asked if I had been losing weight. I said yes....and waited. She said she thought so and HOW MUCH WEIGHT HAD I LOST? There were several shocked faces when I said 91 pounds. They wanted to know how long it had taken and how I did it, etc. Of course, I've been volunteering with this group from fairly early-on in my journey, so it's not surprising they wouldn't truly realize the magnitude of the loss...the changes are so subtle when you see someone regularly plus I had not told anyone there that I was on a weight loss journey. One of the gals there said I looked great and that I shouldn't lose any more weight! How cool is that? Of course I have a fair amount of belly fat and fat elsewhere that COULD come off, but I can't remember another time when someone said I looked fine and that I SHOULDN'T lose any more weight. That comment felt really, really good!

I'll take your rain!! We're in a drought, we had a few drops the other day, but no real thunderstorms or showers yet this summer. Dry lawns as far as the eye can see. Good for you on the 91 pounds!! You should feel good, and getting those compliments was well deserved. Good luck with maintenance! :)

We need rain too! Hey, mars2kids I'm curious where you are from (I'm from Omaha, NE) as we had just a few drops just the other day too, but to my disappointment, nothing more. My lawn is brown, and all my perennials died while on vacation. Of course the 100+ degree weather didn't help either. Congrats on the 91lbs down! I can't wait until someone starts noticing my losses. And great job on the walk/jog :-)

Send as much rain to Missouri as you can!! It is so dry here even with the bit of rain we got. It is 102 as I type this at 5:30 and it is humid. The sun is still blazing! Great job with your walk and JOG! Wow...I am impressed! So glad that others are noticing all your hard work and letting you know how awesome you look! HUGS and have a wonderful evening! YOU ROCK!!!

Sandy - The jogger! Way to go! BTW - Can't believe they start to notice after you've lost 91 pounds. Do your coworkers need glasses?

I agree with Buffy - your coworkers need a serious eye check - you must look like a completely different person!!!! Maybe you need to post before and after pics to amaze everyone :)

First, congrats on the loss. Awesome!!! Secondly, 91 lbs and they didn't notice until now?? After the first 20 lbs people usually start asking.

Hey...first things first...so glad the ladies gave you your proper dues! It was a loooong time coming, I hope it felt really good to acknowledge your success to them face to face! Not to worry about that belly fat stuff...we are never going to be perfect, just happy with who we are inside & OUT!
Yes...please send more rain to Wisconsin!
PS - welcome to LIFETIME maintenance...today, truly is the First day of the Rest of your life!!

Ok everyone....thanks for the comments. Yes, some of those people probably DO need their eyes checked. But, to be fair, many of them have known each other for years, so when I began volunteering in this ministry, well, it takes awhile for any newcomer to really be a part of the group. It probably took me a few months of volunteering before they realized that I was there to stay. Triaby....I actually don't think there's as much of a difference as one might expect for that amount of weight! I can certainly tell by my clothes (HUGE difference!), but facially, not so much, as I've got a genetically round face anyway. Maybe if I wore skin-tight, skin-baring clothing, as is so much the fashion now, they might have noticed sooner! LOL!
