Ben' a Long Time

I am still here. Hanging onto the wagon... firmly by the tailgate, but I am clinging! I have not been eating that well, and only running... but I have not lost ground, I am just not making ground. I am tired. Oh well. Excuses, excuses!

Went for a run tonight. It was WONDERFUL. I actually smiled at all the other runners, and if you know me, you know how crazy that is! I spent all of college looking at my feet as I quickly trekked to my next class. I barely knew anyone. I always seem to 'adopt' my friend's friends. Let them do all the work! ;) Anyway, back to the run. You know when you have not been exercising much, and you really work, and your sweat tastes nasty? Yeah, that is the kind of run I had. I like to think that I get out all the toxic stuff in my life and body through runs like that. I love those.

Ok, well I will be gone this weekend. I weened my son. Today was his last momma milk. I should be more upset (everyone else seems to think so at least), but I am not. Maybe it will catch up with me? Anyway, I gave up sugar until he was weened (till this weekend), so that I would not be sad, but have something to look forward to enjoying. I think I was going to get to drink DP again too (maybe not till my birthday?) but I honestly am not missing it in the least, so I think I will just eat up on the strawberries! I have not had them in almost a year and a half! YIPES! I love strawberries.

Anyway, things figure wise, are looking great. I still have some of that fat person image in my head, but my Sweet Love and my dear friend Laura, both tell me that I am looking great. I guess since I can't keep my 8's up anymore, maybe I do look better? ;) Maybe I will get into that 6 by my birthday after all! Then I can just work on making my butt look ROCKIN' in them! My Sweet Love has a thing for winter clothes. Crazy man! I can't wait to actually look better all winter, than I do during the summer! That will be a first!

Oh, and the other day, at church, one of the newlyweds told me that she had just seen me and thought 'hey, there's JRo, she is a mom and she still looks great." Freaking awesome. Just what I needed to climb back on that wagon! A little pick me up from a sweet girl!
