Well, I FINALLY lost enough pounds to hit a mini milestone. However, with that said, I’m not too excited, as I’ll most likely gain and lose those 2 pounds for another week or so. I just can’t seem to keep losing.
And…I started jogging this week…on accident! My son has this mini 4-wheeler. That freaking thing goes a lot faster than you’d think. We took it out for a ride. (what in God’s name was I thinking?) In thin Reef flip flops and an even flimsier bra, I was forced to jog along side of him, in fear for his life! Though extremely self-conscious of my chub bouncing along with each step; I also felt slightly invigorated. It made me want to take brisk, nightly walks and perhaps even another lil’ jog. So, if you see me out there, strutting my stuff, please keep this in mind:

(this would be very motivational! Though I may piss myself laughing I’d someone actually did this to me!)
I was on CNN.com or fox news or something and I read that it was national “silent disease” day or something like that. It got me to thinking. So many people are suffering from both physical and mental illnesses that most others cannot see or even fathom for that matter. Before you judge, tease, or stereotype, THINK!

Col I hardly go on facebook but have read some of your blogs-I admire your honesty, esp with the weight loss and parenting. I am now a parent to my adopted daughter Elle (almost three) and its quite the adventure as I know you know. Jogging has been great for my mental health so I hope you find it works for you. Thanks for “keeping it real” as its not always pretty but in the end worth it.
Thank you Beth! Congratulations on your daughter. That’s awesome news. I hope you and the rest of the fam are doing well. Please tell my old friend Kate I said hello!
Way to go Colleen! Great way to start running. Join in the fun.
