For the past few days, it’s been raining here in Northeast Ohio. The old me would have used that as an excuse to stay home and not go walking. The new me still wasn’t excited about the idea of walking in the rain but I did anyway.

This morning it was in the 50’s (°F) and the rain made a chilly walk but I went.

I keep seeing progress and that helps to keep me going.

When I stood on the scale this morning, I saw the number 305 staring up at me. I’m officially down 35 lbs over the last six months or so. Slow and steady but sustainable. ☺

I’ll probably be walking in the rain again today, depending on how hard it’s raining.

Anyway, I hope all of you are doing something for yourself every day that you can. It’s so important to make yourself a priority, even though it feels like you’re taking away from your special needs child.

Trust me when I tell you, by taking care of yourself, you’re giving your child the gift of a better you.. ☺

Keep it up and I’ll catch you later.
