It rained on me on my am walk- but something cool happened....

[lmhall2000]

I actually didn't mind the rain- atleast the sun wasn't blazing hot and there was a cool breeze- just glad I didn't wear my white T-shirt! But as I was walking up to my front door a neighbor drove by. (The kind of neighbor we see out and wave to but have different schedules so we don't really get much of a chance to chat) Well, they stopped their car- put it in reverse and drove back to my house. I thought they were going to make a funny comment about what a wet rat I looked like , but they said, "Girl, you are looking GOOD!!" "What are you doing??" I was tickled pink inside and shared with them my walking mania and my almost 30 pound loss- it was just so sweet to have someone notice that really didn't have to.

Knock this up for the beginning of my top 90 reasons to lose 90 pounds! I'll add more as they come to me and hopefully as I near my 90th pound I'll have hit my 90th reason!

ONWARDS & DOWNWARDS!!!!

Oh my gosh, what a great way to start the day, Tara!!!!! You are really being so good to yourself, even walking in the rain! I am SOOOO happy that your neighbors noticed! They couldn't have picked a more perfect moment to share their thoughts with you!!!!!!! I wish I was there to tell you how great you are looking too! 30 pounds is such a great loss!!!!! (in case you can't tell I am excited for you!!! All these exclamation points!!!)

WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



ONWARD AND DOWNWARD is right! I bet you feel awesome!!!!

Isn't it great when people notice that you have lost weight and espically when they take the time out of their busy day to tell you so!! They will never know unless they have been there themselves what a great moral booset and motivater it is for someone struggling to loose weight. I know that I now notice those things and comment to others when I see it.

Great story, Tara! You must be so proud of yourself! A reason for each pound? I'd have to write a BOOK!

Have a super day! Onward and downward, my friend!

Tara, you may be our "most dedicated to exercise" WISHer. You even enjoy walking in the rain!

(Wait- that's sounding like the start of a personals ad. )

I like that "90 reasons to lose 90 pounds" idea!

I'll have to work on my "70 reasons to lose 70 pounds". I'm not sure I can count that high!

Your neighbor gave us all a nice smile today.
