Good Morning . . .
Sorry I was missing yesterday . . . it turned into a really strange weather day. Started out overcast and threatening rain, but by noon it seemed to clear up and we even had a little sunshine. Since my back was feeling pretty good, off I went to do some shopping and got caught in a flash storm that was a real doozey (well not hurricane, but bad enough that you had to pull over because you couldn't see to drive).
Got thrown out of Walmart which is where I was when the storm hit. They took a generator hit and even though they had emergency power they were urging us to get through cash and out of the building while they still had some power. Did another couple of stores (hey I was out anyway and had already gotten wet getting back to the car from Walmart) and was absolutely thoroughly soaked, cold, and miserable by the time I actually got home.
Storm continued to rage throughout the night and right now everything is calm and sunny -- even though the forecast is calling for more rain. Very strange.
I really, really hope that Gustav is not nearly as bad as predicted for all those unfortunate enough to be in his path. Please be safe everyone.
Regarding the Mental Image question -- maybe I've just got a very short attention span -- everytime I see myself unexpectedly I'm shocked that I still look so big.
I know I'm still larger than a lot of you Chickies, but it's as though I just don't remember how much larger I was 75 pounds ago. I'm at that point where I feel thinner than I look.
Nowhere to go but downward.
If you take a look at my last day of August (in the August Accountability thread), you'll see I had a very high fat day too
-- also the result of a PB spree -- but mine came right out of the jar (which I finally tossed). Absolutely no control with PB whatsoever.
Then . . . you will notice in the September Accountability thread that I actually dipped down this morning in spite of the PB.
However, I doubt that it will last. You'll also notice that I'll be going to NC from the 18th to the 21st and boy, I can hardly wait -- hopefully the weather will be great for that long weekend.
In spite of that little 'vacation', I'm definitely planning for a really good September for myself and for all the rest of us, too.
See you later . . .
