Ahhh, I'm almost through this week and I simply can't wait for Saturday. One more week until my husband and I go away. It is pouring outside right now, as it has been on and off since yesterday. Whenever I have a trip planned, I am encouraged when the sunshine is broken by some stormy weather, mostly because it means hopefully the rainy weather will run its course and we'll be blessed with some nice weather! Fingers and toes crossed!
Up until today, I have walked in many different types of weather and thought I had dealt bravely with inclement weather. Ha! Today tested my mettle, that is for sure! I brought my workout gear with me to work and changed when my shift was over. I drove most of the way home and parked in my town's downtown area. It wasn't raining at the time, but looked ominous. I got 15 minutes into my walk when the downpour hit. It was raining sideways and in no time flat my legs were drenched and my shoes and socks were soaking wet. I figured, since I'm this wet already and pretty far from my car, I might as well finish my walk. The rain let up somewhat, no longer a deluge but simply raining steadily. I made it back to my car an hour after I had parked it and had to strip off my rain jacket before getting into the car. I sorely wished I had a towel handy, but sat down with a squelch and drove home. I had to strip off my shoes and socks before walking in the house and wrung out my clothes in my bathroom, lol.
I am so proud of myself that I haven't let ANYTHING get in the way of sticking to my routine - not illness, back pain, pulled muscles, terrible weather, or opportunities to do something else instead. Yesterday was the only day that I honestly was just so tired from my long run of consecutive work days that I was unable to fit it in and still make it to my evening discussion group.
Onward ho! Not making myself and my workouts a priority in the past is what slowed my weight loss, so this time I am sticking with it come heck or high water (and let me tell you, I walked through some REALLY high water today!)
