I am 90% positive there is no one out there reading this blog anymore, and I am okay with that. Who wants to follow a blog that only gets a measly little post every 6 months. To be honest I kind of forgot about blogging but last week a good friend reminded me she uses her as a journal. Ding! What a great idea. I know on my best post I only have a few followers and it has been so long since my last, so this is a perfect reason to get me back on blogging. I can pour my heart, let out frustration and track my goals and if someone comments that is even better. But if there is someone out there reading this and following you will need to bare with me because this has now become my journal.
I have a lot boggling my mind but thankfully none of it is too serious. Well maybe a 3 year old that acts like a 12 year old is serious, it can only be funny for so long. Other than that challenging problem I have been dwelling on loosing weight. I am so frustrated I cant loose my baby weight and my baby is 18 months old! I dont think I would be so frustrated if I was actually trying. But I cant even get my mind into it enough to even start. If I could get my mind into it the same way I dwell on the fact that I dont have my mind into it, I would not be in the tangled mess and I would probably be 15 pounds thinner. I have tried Weight Watchers again and it worked for the first couple weeks then my will power gave up. I tried a diet (well it is more of a lifestyle commitment, which is what I like) with no processed sugar and I liked it for a couple weeks but then there went my will power again. ugh! so irritating. I think about it all the time but it seems like the more I dwell on it the worse I eat. My clothes arent fitting and my confidence is not as high. I feel like I need someone to report to. But as I think about it I wonder if that would even help, maybe I feel like I dont have enough time but maybe that is just an excuse. I could get up really early and excersize but I dont want to go alone OR I can manage my time better and take my kids but then what do I do when it gets colder outside? I get so overwhelmed just thinking about it.
SO I think I have yet another plan and hopefully I can stick to this one. Maybe it will help to report to my blog and anyone out there that is reading. So here it is, dont laugh: I want to run a Half Marathon next summer and why this is going to be any different than the fact that I have already signed up for a 300 mile relay race, I dont know. But I have printed off my training schedule and I will officially start Nov 1st. I am also going to be making a serious effort to start eating better. I want to loose 15 pounds and I hope to be at my goal by the first of the year. Do you think I can do it?
well its late now and this story will be continued............

I am here and I am listening! Yes, you can do it!! Don't get frustrated. We have all been there. Losing baby weight can be discouraging. I always say start with better sleep habits. A good night's rest every night does wonder for the body and soul.
Oh how nice it is to have someone that is going through the same EXACT thing I'm going through!!!! I look at Jared's cousins who just had a baby 2 months ago and they are back to being twigs and think "oh they have it so easy"! I do the exact same thing every night I think "oh I ate to much at dinner but I'll be better tomorrow" and then tomorrow comes along and it's the same darn thing over again! Maylee is now 15 months old and I still haven't lost the weight...it is the most frustrating thing in the world...seriously! I'm in the same boat Oakley but I like your idea of doing the marathon...maybe we should do it together and push each other to keep at it! I'm game if you are! We live close enough to figure something out maybe! Let me know what you think! :) And thanks for having the guts to say the exact same thing that goes through my head every freakin day! And now I'm done with my novel...but really let me know what you think! :)
Oh and I meant to put question marks after the questions....oops??? :) lol
I'm with Alyssa! I'm hear and would love to keep reading what you keep writing! (i understand the not writing thing...i've been bad at keeping up) But you look great! I understand though, losing the last few pounds in the wooooooorrrsstt. portion control and lots of WATER is what did it for me. not that i'm that good at either of those...i just know it helped. well love ya oakley! And I am still so in love with Brooks' tie from your Pear Tree line!...everyone at church was complimenting him on it...and they weren't surprised when I said it was your work ;)
Yay Oakley! I'm sooo glad you're back to blogging/journaling! Woot! I'll be following you for sure!
