I don't know if anyone remembers me posting about the Culligan guy, but we have our old delivery guy again. (he delivered for about a year & then quit about a year ago & is back now). Anyway.... I always seem to forget what day he's coming to deliver the salt for our softener. (it's every 4 weeks on a Wednesday but it seems to sneak up on me!)

So a couple yrs ago he had come to deliver & I was out in the back yard w/ the kids in my swim suit (and this was when I was still fat!!). I was mortified because I didn't even have time to put a shirt on over my suit! Then another time he had gotten here when I was on the treadmill & I had to hop off all nasty & sweaty to answer the door.

So this morning I'm giving the girls a bath, cleaning up, and just in a t-shirt & exercise shorts (after doing my Pilates), not showered yet, of course no makeup & hair in a ponytail. He's really just a young kid, probably 24 or so w/ tattoos but he's always been very nice & always chats a few minutes w/ me. He had remembered me telling him about Pilates because he had actually commented that he almost didn't recognize me after not seeing me for a few mos! He works out & bikes so we have talked about exercise. He asked he about Pilates & said that his girlfriend had been doing Pilates, Taebo, & WW & lost about 70 lbs now! I told him I'd lost about the same & said, yeah, I can tell!! He said, now she's trying to get *cut* like you! Of course, and here I was feeling like a scrub in my workout clothes!

And, yesterday I ran into a guy that I grew up with in my hometown!! We went through school together & his mom was even my preschool teacher! I was shopping at Walmart w/ Kiersten & Allison & said looked up & there he was I said, Hi Benji, how are ya? He kind of did a double take & then said, Jess? So we chatted for a while about some friends/ what we've been up to/ chit chat & while he didn't say anything about my weight loss, I could tell he was thinking it!!!! I was soooo glad that I took the time to put on some makeup! My bf Steph had a HUGE crush on him, I'm gonna have to email her to tell her!! (I even had a crush on him in Jr high! )

Ok, that's it from me for today! Thanks for listening to me babble! I've been feeling a bit dumpy the last few days, so that definitely brightened my mood!

Hugs,
Jess

"Oh Culligan Mannnnnnnnn!", LOL! I always think of that commercial when I see the trucks around here ; ) Too funny that you are always sweaty when he shows up. Jess, I want you to go to your calendar right now and write Culligan Man on your calendar for May 3rd!! That way you won't be surprised again How cool that his YOUNG girlfriend wants to look like you!!!

That is so funny that your high school friend didn't recognize you. I know it is the best feeling. Hopefully he went and told all his friends from high school (you know THEY all stay in touch right?) that he ran into you and you were totally hot and buff They will all be on the lookout now for you in that Wal-Mart!!!

Sorry you've been feeling glum. I admire you for keeping up with your workouts through those down days.

I always think the same thing- oh culligan maaan! My calendar is marked now!! I thought that was funny too when he made that comment!!

It was funny running into him. I mean, his parents still live in the same house which is only about 5 houses down from the house I grew up in!! (although my folks don't live there anymore!) And yes, he's actually roommates w/ another guy from school who's Dad works w/ mine... I swear the world only gets smaller!! Benji wasn't at the reunion, he said he'd had to work but he said he still keeps in touch w/ a lot of the *popular* guys. Too bad I didn't look like this in HS!

Thanks for the post!

Hugs,

Oh, and I just peeked at your weight loss page!! Girl, you just look fabulous. I hope you sent in your before/ afters to Kristy, because you totally deserve to be on that next infomercial after your successful PYBO!!!

That IS funny that he stays in touch with people from high school. Never fear, you will be the topic of conversation for quite some time

Thanks for peeking at the website. I am very proud of how far I have come but I didn't send pics in to Kristy. We have so much going on this summer with my graduation, looking for a job (a paid one anyway ; ) and taking a quick trip to Missouri to see my family that there is no way I could go to LA in August if they chose me. I wouldn't want to waste their time submitting my info for the infomercial knowing I wouldn't be able to commit to be away at that time. Thanks for believing they would consider me though Maybe next time!!!
