A Rainbow, A Cold and A Good “Bad” Dream

By yesterday afternoon the weather had gotten really nice…My youngest and I were out on the porch while he did his homework. Then clouds blew in and we watched them about 30 minutes…felt the wind get stronger and the temps drop…then the rain came. After wards the sky was still dark out front (facing east) and out back the sun was trying to show itself again. As we sat in the living room, the strangest glow came…and we looked outside and there it was…the BIGGEST BRIGHTEST DOUBLE RAINBOW EVER! You could see it from one side to the other and I wish my camera was capable of snapping it all in one shot. These pictures cannot even capture it all in one or the most magnificent glow it put off…it was just absolutely beautiful and we went crazy taking pictures and just admiring it.

Well…what I thought were allergies or sinus issues had turned into a cold…yeah!…The weather is supposed to get into the upper 70’s or low 80’s in a couple days…and here I have a cold…blah! My son got sick last night and I was up with him and slept in this morning. The good news in this is that I have no taste…so maybe the desire to eat will be minimal…Im hoping.

My dream…well I had several but the one that stuck with me when I woke up was this…I dreamt that I weighed myself and it said 242. I was so upset with myself for gaining even more and going through the thoughts of now I need to get back out of the 40’s, back out of the 30’s, back out of the 20’s and back to the lower 10’s to undo all the damage. And doing this …relosing the weight again for the third time in just a few years. I DON’T WANT THAT! I don’t want to face that…again. I am SO thankful it was a dream. I have wished before that my gain was a bad dream…this time the bulk of it was…thank goodness! I have lost 1 pound so now I need to lose 10 to get back where I was. I hope this ream stays with me because at this moment I feel a little stronger and more determined than I have in a while…Lord please let this stay with me…please.

I am so very very thankful for my buddies who are riding this weight loss roller coaster with me…and those who have dared to ride my emotional coaster as well. Thank you for being there. I didn’t get a chance to get back on and read but plan to today. Much love and big bear hugs!

    I have had dreams that I am eating and bingeing, and I wake up all crazed that I blew my diet. It’s funny how dieting and weight loss becomes part of our dreams!

    I love the rainbow!

    That is the most beautiful rainbow! Gorgeous! I hate dreams like that! I dream things like that often! It is so strange how things in your everyday life “haunt” you so to speak in your dreams! Ten pounds is a breeze! You can do it girl! I am right here with ya! Hugs! :)
