13 going on OMG it's N*Sync!

I really wasn't that into the boy bands when I was in middle school.  Sure, I religiously watched TRL every afternoon like any self-respecting teenager, but I didn't chose sides, or have a favorite band member, or go to the concerts.

However, I can admit, without shame, that at the very first glimpse of the member of N*Sync rising to the platform during last night's VMAs, I was bouncing up and down on the end of my bed like I was front row at one of their concerts circa 1997.  I don't know why, I guess is was all the anticipation built up from the will they/won't they rumors over the past week or so.  It was pretty awesome.  And, thankfully, afterwards I was free to turn off the VMAs without fear of having nothing to talk about with people on Monday morning.

Seriously?  I really don't listen to or watch that much main-stream music.  Is this what's out there right now?  C may never leave the house once he turns seven.  Miley, really honey?  I know your Daddy did a piss-poor job of raising you to understand your value and place in this world, but really?  It was gross.  Lady Gaga, why do you get to be called "lady".  I didn't see anything lady-like.  I didn't know half the other people.  I'm really ok with that.  It is at least a few more years before I have to be aware of popular music and musicians in order to filter/ban what the kids in our house will be listening to.  For now, I can just turn the channel.  Thank goodness F.R.I.E.N.D.S. re-runs were on!

Happy Monday, Y'all.

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....
