Default May 21 - Prairie Roots

My current weight: 160.8lbs
Weight change since my last recorded weight: -.4 lbs

I'll take it! The scale wasn't nice to me at all for my daily
weighings, so today's weight is my lowest of the week.

Again, no bicycling this week due to weather. It's rained every dang
day! You could almost see the grass growing before your eyes.
Yesterday it cleared up in the afternoon, so I left work early to mow
my lawn for the first time this year. In one spot, it was almost to my
knees! Today we're back to rain again. Good thing I have plans to
spend the afternoon at the art museum with someone I've never met
before.

With all the rain, I've been taking my exercise indoors: walking and
conditioning to DVDs and using my pilates machine. I can sure tell how
mushy I'd let my muscles get. But already I'm seeing some results of
the toning. My weight hasn't gone down all that much since starting
back---around 7 lbs--but my clothes are definitely getting looser.
Earlier this week I was able to get into one of my summer outfits from
last year. The top doesn't fit the way I'd like--it's a little snug in
the shoulders and back--but it's wearable. The pants are a bit tight
in the waist, but also wearable. So I think the upper body and leg
toning is helping even before the weight comes off.

About this afternoon's date: I'm terrified that he'll like me. I'm
worried that he won't. I keep looking for an e-mail saying he's
changed his mind about meeting. But lately, the e-mails I've gotten
from him are to confirm our arrangements and to make sure I know where
to park my car because the museum ramp is under construction. How can
I enjoy myself when, so far, everything's perfect?

Good job Linda, looks like you are on the bottom this week ... at least from my
end. Down is down, those ounces add up eventually. We've been fighting that
gloomy, rainy weather here too. The lawn is looking horrid, moods are getting a
bit on the testy side. I'm hoping the sun will shine again soon.

Have fun on your outing today!

Fun? I'll settle for surviving my anxiety. Not embarassing myself will
be the bonus prize. Fun would be the ultimate!

LOL! I think I've finally hit the age of not being embarrassed anymore, then
again probably because I'm not wishing to impress anyone and don't really care
what people think. I know, I'm odd. Hubby still laughs at the escapades of sonny
boy and myself at an outdoor concert we attended last summer - says it jogged his
memory as to why he avoids these types of things with me. g He laughed last
night as son pulled into the driveway with his radio blaring (for my benefit) ...
but I already had the house stereo blaring (the same CD) and was bopping around
the driveway (I needed the exercise). We often wonder what the neighbors think.
lol

Hubs favorite line where I'm concerned: I can dress her up, I just can't take her
anywhere.

Be yourself Linda, that's what drew him to you anyway.

Good loss, Linda. Now how did that date go ? Did you have a good time? I
sincerely hope so...

An update on Linda's Big Adventu
My date and I met at 1:00 p.m. in the museum cafe, and I got home at
9:00 p.m. An 8-hour first date might be a good sign that it went well.

After nervously and haltingly getting through the introductory small
talk--how was the drive? where did you park? will it rain?--we spent
the next couple of hours viewing the ticketed exhibition. We shared a
few awkward moments--we got lost finding the exhibit locations, he
neglected to pick up the tickets at will-call and had to run back down
to get them, we bumped into each other a few times because we were
busier gawking at the art than paying attention to where the other was
standing. But those only reassured me that he's as human as I am,
which is a huge relief.

We ended up staying until the museum closed at 5, and then he asked me
if I'd like to go to dinner somewhere. Yes! After we ate, and I
spilled my water, and we talked until it was too chilly to sit outside
any longer, he asked if I'd like to walk across the street to the
Barnes & Noble and continue talking. Yes! So we meandered around the
store for another hour, discovering books we own in common, sharing
new interests.

When we parted, he said he had a great time. I said I did too. And
then we hugged. But neither of us promised to call or be in touch.
Since I'm clueless about dating, I'm now wondering about post-first
date protocol. My daughter advises that I give him a chance to contact
me, and that I wait until tomorrow or Tuesday before sending him an
e-mail. I'm heeding her advice and will not contact him today,
although I am keeping a list of things to talk about or write about,
just in case...

The list of things he and I have in common is uncanny and almost
scary. I feel like I've known him forever. And he is the most
drop-dead gorgeous man I've ever met in my life. No foolin'.

All in all, I survived my anxiety, I didn't embarass myself or him
(too much), I paid attention to my eating and stopped when I got full,
I looked nice in my new clothes (he said so!), and when I saw a
reflection of us together, I didn't wonder who I was kidding by being
with him.

Regardless of what does or does not happens next, yesterday for me was
the mother of all NSVs. I had a date [pauses] with someone who kept
asking to spend more time with me [pause], and I lived to tell about
it. [the end] [or maybe the beginning!]

It sounds wonderful. Give him a few days. You never know what's going
on in a person's life. Pehaps you can think of something to invite him
to next weekend.
