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!

Hard workin'

Is it sad to be glad to come back to work on Monday just so you can sit down in a comfortable chair while the air conditioning keeps you at a reasonable temperature?  Yes, that is sad?  Well then, I'm sad. I'll back up a little first. You didn't hear from me on Thursday - you're welcome.  I promise it was better that way.  I would either have cried or killed you with one look, it was too hard to tell. However, Thursday night was wonderful.  M and I went to parent orientation at C's new preschool and left knowing he was going to have a great year.  This will be the first time my baby has to  have a backpack, with his own snacks, and learning objectives, and, and, just pass me the tissues.  My baby is too big. Friday I was in Hville for a CPE class which was about as exciting as you're imagining it was.  We had a wonderful evening at home eating a gourmet meal and watching a family movie.  No.  That's what normal peo...

These fears I have

So,  I'm really not posting this for anyone else's consumption, though others will be able to view, but for myself.  So that I can lay out my fears related to the surgery I've decided to have. This won't be eloquent or pretty, it's just my raw thoughts on the what ifs of weight-loss surgery and what follows. What if it doesn't work?  What if I ask my family to make this financial sacrifice and I'm still overweight and unhealthy and unhappy at the end? What if I'm really the problem? What if I can't stick to the diet?  What if I ruin my own success?  What if I really have no self-control and can't do it? What if I never look in the mirror and am happy with what I see?  What if I become obsessed with my appearance? What if I'm still not active with my kids?  What if I'm still a side-line mom?  What if I still let my fears and insecurities keep me from being participative in their milestones? What if I'm never able to say no to...

Creature Report!

Does anyone else watch the Disney Channel?  Specifically, Octonauts?  No, just us, ok.  Well, they're land animals who live in the sea, and they help out distressed ocean faring creatures during each episode.  After the happily ever after there's the "Creature Report", detailing the scientific, physical, social, and other characteristics of the creature they've just helped.  All that to say, I'm giving my weekly "Creature Report". At our current rate of a pound or so a week, it'll take almost two years to lose my desired 80 lbs.  Throw adding to the Coats brood in 2014 to the mix, and sometimes I wonder if I'll ever get there. Having the Curves Complete program Coach is extremely beneficial.  After yesterday's weigh-in she reminded me that this is a permanent weight loss, and it may take a little longer.  Fast plan diets are usually only successful in the short term with participants gaining most or all of their weight back at pro...
