I know, I know, three posts in two days?  Does she think we really like her that much?  I know you do, so it's ok.

I pulled a double yesterday, worked out at Curves and did the outermost loop at Deibert Park.  Don't be sad I didn't invite any of you, it was spontaneous.  Truthfully, I'm going to start walking there once a week with a friend, and I needed to make sure I could do at least 1/4 of it without dying.  This post is a testament to my survival.  Either that or I'm writing this posthumously, in which case you're all wondering where you put that copy of "Zombie Apocalypse Survival 101" you got as a dirty Santa gift.  No, I survived just fine.  Better than that, I actually did some running.

Read it again, it wasn't a typo.  Now, this wasn't Usain Bolt running, but more like Forest Gump trying to break free of his leg braces in that iconic scene.  Sorta like this: 

(It's an oldie, but a goodie.)

Let me clarify that I only ran on the parts of the trail completely enclosed with trees so that no other human could see me.  Running out in the open in front of Cox Creek would have led to the increased possibility of having the following conversation:

           Someone, "I was driving down Cox Creek today and thought I saw you running at Deibert."

           Me, "Heck naw, that was some other girl with a Sir-Mix-a-Lot inspired body making a
           fool of herself in a public place."

I just couldn't let that happen.

It was a big moment for me.  I'm ready to do it again, my legs aren't so sure.

One day until A-town!  We're going to get rained on so much at the game Saturday, but it'll be so worth it!

Changes, they are a comin'

Shew wee.  That's all I can say about the last couple of weeks!  I know you all have missed me.  I too, have missed all three of you. Truthfully, I was going through a ferocious deadline at work which caused me to slack on my blogging and fit lifestyle. I'll be honest, I wasn't crazy about how my pants fit when I put them on this morning.  I went to work out yesterday, but decided to delay my weigh-in until today.  Monday's are bad enough all on their own without that scale mocking me. I want to update you all on what's been going on, but first, a little housekeeping.  You'll notice the name of the blog has been shortened to "the Journey".  I still intend to write about my journey to lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle, but I also wanted to use this blog as a tool to exercise my creative and writing muscles, and so I don't want to be limited to one subject.  I want to write about all my journeys, whether it be life with a toddler, re-model

It should be fascinating...

That may have been a slight oversell.  Truthfully, I just afraid all five of you may find something better to do with your time if I don't churn out Pulitzer material over here in blogging land. Here's the problem.  Finding time to work out and run.  See, I spent the first few weeks of this journey dedicated to visiting Curves at least three times a week.  You know what happened?  I saw results?  Do you know what happened next? I started convincing myself that I could "skip" days.  Boo Katye.  Bad Katye.  The lbs. are not coming off at a pace that I would be pleased with.  Truthfully, they're barely coming off at all.  It may seriously take until Cohen goes to college for me to become healthy and fit. So help me, it will happen. I feel like the key missing ingredient is the walking/running.  Finding time to do that activity.  On a consistent basis.  The dieticians at Curves recommend 10,000 steps a day.  Seriously?  I sit behind a desk for a living.  I park at

the Panic ensues

I thought that my morning might have to be spent calling the people at Visa and telling them that I had lost my credit card.  This would have been devastating for me.  No credit card equals having to ask the man that controls the checkbook at our house for money.  This would contradict my normal policy of just buying something and having the 5-7 business days before it arrives to convince him of why I really needed those shoes.  They were ON SALE.  ON ZULILY.  THEY GO WITH EVERYTHING.  Too bad those particular shoes don't fit my feet very well and have barely been worn.  To those who would say it is despicable that I would sneak shop with my credit card, I say let me use my credit card to order you a case of Windex for that nice glass house you're living in.  Which, I could do, because Husband found my credit card in between the seats of the car.  But first, I'd have to find where he has since hidden said card. Let's start with the good news.  Since my last weigh-in (
