Week 5, Day 35!!!

Week 5 on NS comes to an end today.... that's makes 35 days staying on plan. I work on Sundays, but I try to make 8am mass. Today at 8am it had to already be near 90 degrees and they are predicting 109 today, which means my home will likely be around 115. But during mass there was some comotion in the front pew. Soon after mass stopped and here comes the paramedics. Some older woman had fainted. It wasn't very hot in the church, they had the A/C on, but she must have been dehydrated and when she was standing, just passed out. She seemed ok, but they took her away just to be safe.

One thing if you visit Vegas in the summer, drink water ALL DAY LONG!!! It's so easy to dehydrate in this hot, dry desert climate. Your sweat evaporates so quickly you don't realize you are dehydrating and before you know it you can get into trouble. On my last visit to Michigan in the summer, it was 90 degree and 90% humidity. I was soaked and never seemed dry. Everything and everybody was wet all the time. Here, you are bone dry because our humidity is so low. The other day it was 4% and 105 degrees.

Well, don't ask me why, but I joined a singles site today. It's a Catholic Singles site. They gave me a really bargain price so I said why not. I did join one of these after my mother passed away last year and I must have received 20 messages from Russian women. What a racket. I may have been born at night, but not last night. Ok, some of these women may actually be trying to find someone, but I have watched 20/20 and dateline, there are a lot of scams going on out there. I also received replies from the Phillipines, Malaysia, Indonesia and some from other parts of the US. I was a bit put off after that experience.

But, I will try again with no expectations. I really do want to find someone, but I do have my one hesitation. Since most of you are coming from the NS or HS sites, you probably know what I mean. It's the weight. I don't like being this weight and I don't know if I can be with someone else while I'm overweight. Being romantic and overweight just bothers me. It doesn't really bother me about her though. It bothers me about me!!!! Do you understand that? Now that I've had some time to myself after my parents passings, I would like to find that special someone. I just don't know if I can until I lose the weight!!!! I guess if she accepts me for who I am knowing that I want to be the best I can, then ????? It's just getting it right in my own head. I think this is only something only other overweight people understand. I'll likely get my Russian replies from 20 year olds again anyways.
