Or, actually, from Thursday, August 25th to now...
Not much has happened, just more of my everyday life over and over again.
I've had computer problems again.
I've been sunburned all week - from our day swimming on August the 24th! - and we (me and Bert) went swimming again on Wednesday, August 31st. I did my best to stay out of the sun, but how can you swim in a giant pool and not be in the sun? It was pretty awesome driving home from Teresa's that day - I saw TWO different rainbows! The first one was before I got to KFC, making me think to get Ron some chicken for supper, which he loved! It was still there when I pulled back out on the road, and didn't fade until I got kinda close to Amelia.
Then I saw the next one as I approached the 222 South intersection, and it got stronger (brighter, more vibrant) the closer I got to Bethel! They were both gorgeous, even though neither of them were full arches, just more like half of one side of the arch. I'm glad there weren't many cars around me - they would have thought I was crazy, taking pictures like I was. That is, if they weren't, too!
Josh, Chelle, Jean, and Corgan came up last weekend after Chelle got back from Hamburger University in Chicago. Josh and Corgan drove up to have a few days with her in Chicago, and they had pictures and stories to share. Jean enjoyed her Jeanie time at home!
We perused the information we had all gathered and came up with a game plan for the Rita/Corgan birthday weekend at the end of the month. I guess technically it's the beginning of next month, but who's counting? My birthday is on the Thursday, and his is on the Monday, and that won't happen again for quite awhile, so we decided a small weekend getaway was gonna work instead of a 'party.' We finally decided on Metamora, IN. It seemed to have the most that we can do for those couple of days but not be so far away and cost too much money. I think it's gonna be fun!
When I weighed in at my TOPS meeting on Tuesday night, I was very surprised to find that not only had I lost the 4.6 pounds I gained last week, but also an extra pound! That's right, I lost 5.6 pounds this week! Yay, me! However, when Ron and I did our weigh-in on the Wii, it said that I had gained 2.2 pounds...I don't get it, but I know that the two don't usually agree, so I'm not gonna worry about it.
I have decided that I'm not going to make my weight be such an important t.h.i.n.g. in my life. It is what it is, and I've done so much better than I ever expected I could.
You know, when I was my largest, I thought that I looked about what I really do look like now. Yes, I was delusional. But now I really do look like this, and I am very happy with this. I bought myself new pants (in the teens!) and they fit! I was SO thrilled - you just do not know unless you've been in this spot - and I can deal with whatever comes now, just as long as the scale numbers keep going down. It may take me some time to get "anywhere" but I am okay with that.
