True Confession

[ 9 ] 02/08/2011 |

First confession? I forgot that I have True Confessions today. Which even though I am pregnant and have the ‘I’m sharing my brain’ excuse, is still pretty pathetic because I write the calendar! How embarrassing for me. Sorry everyone…consider this a late morning/midday surprise!

Ahem. Okay, now on to the dirt.

I will frame my main confession this way: I have been very reluctant to buy ANY maternity clothes. They are expensive (and this is – at least we’re pretty much sure – our last child) and they are ugly. But three months ago I purchased ONE pair of maternity jeans. They were flattering and I was hoping to wear them as long as possible during the pregnancy, then for a bit afterwards.

But yesterday? I bent over to pick something up, and RIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

My tush was rudely introduced to the open air.

So, I have no pants. Except leggings (hideous).

And I have a doctor’s appointment today where they will weigh me, and I’m DREADING that after my expanding tush busted it’s way out of a pair of jeans.

So that’s me for today. Hopefully my leggings will survive till I can acquire another pair of pants…

Your turn! What are YOUR confessions? Link up in the comments below.

    one pair of pants? i would die. i had 9 pair of pants (that fit at least) and you would have thought it was the great size 8 pant famine of 2011! (i’ve since purchased 4 more – you can breath a sigh of relief)

    Well, I guess I will start my very first confession… confessing that I have been reading these blog post for 3 weeks now, and haven’t gotten the courage to make a posting even though I have wanted too.. What is holding me back.. it’s not like it’s church or something… even then God foregives us! So that’s why I’m finally here. The truth is that I need help…..

    Each week ( Motivational.. M uhmm Wednesday) I call my sister to see how the training week is going. See we both are training for the Alaska Marathon- she lives in Anchorage and I’m training through TNT ( raising money for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) in VT. The Thing is, that my sister.. This Amazing women, is raising 9 children, 1 only 6 months old and the others ranging from 3-16 yrs) and she is going to train for the full Marathon! So. she really looks up to me… She counts on my phone calls.. she tells me how much I inspire her, my running accomplishments….. My voice, words, and my ears both listening & reflecting her words all help to keep her going… I try to use it to help me too…. but my True Confession…. GULP!…. is that I’m struggling…… THE Motivator needs Motivating:(… there I said it… It’s out.. Now what?
    I was doing so good towards my goals…. but now…I don’t understand what is going on with me…?.. Why can’t I get going on something I love & want to do?
    I have almost Just thought of giving up… but I really don’t think it’s really what I want…

    Thanks for listening… I hope you all can help me find My spark!
    Never been a real fan of Hide & go seek!

      Everyone runs into tough times with running at one point or another.

      Are you just tired of running? Are you scared of letting your sister down? Do you feel pressure because she seems to need you to moitvate her? Are you just tired? Is it the fundraising for TnT? Have you talked to your sister to tell you how you are feeling? Have you run a marathon before?

      My gut feeling is that she would be able to motivate you or at the very least, listen to what you have to say, support you and tell you that she loves you. So tell you how you feel and don’t feel like you have to carry the weight for both of you. Kwim?

      I would love to know more of your running story.

      Btw- I have been to Anchorage before and wowsers, it is BEAUTIFUL. WHat a great place to do a marathon, AND with someone so close to you. How awesome is that?

        I’m thinking, that maybe I just have a bit of Winter i diss- between the lack of sun- the snow + ice + more snow =’s Many runs on the treadmill… not so/as much fun….
        (but each day are getting more light:) and hopefully some clear roads soon- so I can make more runs outside!
        I ran my first marathon in October! Booyah!! – after recovering from an ankle fracture that took me out of training for Alaska last year ( Slipped off the side of the snow covered road) That’s why I’m cautious! as well as the extra stressful, snow causes on the tendons around my ankle…

        YES,YES, Yes!!!
        there’s so much to look forward too…. *reaching a HARD worked for goal-Raising money for this wonderful oragnization- that helps families/patience who are going through the probably the most scariest & worst thing of their lives..CANCER…and hopefully one day put an end to this disease!
        * WE get see my family & (I get to run those miles with my sis – It will probably go by fast- we gotta 2 yrs of catching up to do! &
        * HELLO: WERE GOING TO ALASKA !!
        See with all this said… how could I have a problem being motivated????
        That’s WHY I’m blaming the DREADMILL!!
        Anyway gotta RUN……..
        Talk to you soon

    Oh Heather, I’m so sorry :( I wish I still had some maternity stuff to send you. How about heading over to the Target and picking up some sweet Champion yoga pants. I think they would accommodate the growing belly nicely, AND they are quite stylish with their bootcut flare. AND, they look good with anything. Except cowboy boots, but whatever….

    I love you!

    I’m two weeks postpartum and still can only fit into leggings. I am refusing to buy chubby pants…. good thing I have 6 more weeks before I have to get into work clothes.
