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-mode...

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...

A picture says a thousand words

and I'll add a thousand more.  It's my blog, I can do what I like. Do you know what one of the most frustrating things about being young and overweight is?  Finding shorts.  Seriously.  They're usually either knee-length and social security approved, or so short and tight that nothing is left to the imagination. I've been looking for shorts for weeks. Old Navy online women's plus is a good option. I just really wanted to try them on before ordering and the price was kinda high.  I've looked on every website I could think of, in every store, etc. etc.  I have one pair of Lane Bryant jean shorts from last year that I like, and that really wasn't going to cut it for me. Do you know where I bought 3 pairs of shorts this weekend?  For less than $17 a pair?  Wal-Mart.  I might not normally admit it, but they're cute, and the perfect length for a 26-ish (still in denial) wife and mother.  I got seer sucker, light pink, and dark khaki....
