Don’t hang up, can we talk?

I obviously haven’t had a chance to blog since I put this theme up. I’ve been super busy with school and all that junk. Aside from school, I’ve had major cramping and sinus issues; so I’m not really a happy Kate at the moment. I really think I have the “Spring Break is over blues” since I swear Spring Break flew by and didn’t last long enough. Over Spring Break I had a take home Math test and a comparative essay rough draft to write for English. I wrote my essay Monday before I had to turn it in and then did my test Monday night before I had to turn it in Tuesday. Yes, I’m a procrastinator which really surprises me because I swear I have the best of intentions but you know what they say about that.

In other Kate news, I decided to go back on Weight Watchers. After reading various weight loss blogs, like Caity’s, and seeing a girl on MySpace who lost 118 pounds in 11 months, I decided it was time I take a serious crack at weight loss. The only thing I hate is having to eat three meals a day because I don’t really get all that hungry so the first week was spent training myself to eat three meals a day. The first week, I lost 2.5 pounds and I don’t weigh this week until Thursday. I know why my loss wasn’t as grand as I’d hope for last week. I struggled with eating and it was Spring Break so I mostly sat on my butt doing nothing. Now that I am back in my classes and walking every day I know my loss will be a little better. I doubt it’ll be as grand as I hope for again since I’m going through synthroid withdrawals. My prescription is ready at Wal-Mart but I haven’t had time to pick it up yet since I’ve felt like crap.

Even though I feel awful, I’m excited since Rans will be here tonight. I miss him tons and I am getting to the point where it’s painful to have to go days without seeing him. I want to be around him all the time and I take strength and comfort from having him around. He’s also my number one supporter weight loss wise since he knows I want this which makes him want it as well. At first, I was reluctant to talk about anything weight related with him since in the past I’ve been made fun of by past boyfriends. Those times were really low blows and I found it hard to bounce back from it since I never assumed the person I was with would insult me in that way. So I’m thankful loverboy is the opposite way. He lifts me up.

I really hate to have to blog and run but I have got to find some clothes to wear to class. Evidently we’re having a writing tournament which is my professor’s form of the NCAA basketball tournament. Yeah, he’s a little weird at times. Lol. So until next time, later ya’ll.

  1. Wow Kate, I love the new layout! The colours are so pretty and cheerful…I swear just looking at it is putting me into a good mood. :)

    Bummer you had homework over spring break though…that should not be allowed! Yay for procrastination though…you know what they say, “if it wasn’t for the last minute, nothing would get done”. :D

    Kudos to you for going back to Weight Watchers too! I should seriously be doing something like that myself, but I just don’t have the motivation. Even things that should motivate me (like hearing about other people’s weight loss, etc) just seem to have the opposite effect. Weird! But yay, 2.5 pounds in just one week is great! That’s just over 1kg, right? I’ve heard it’s not even healthy to lose more than that in a week anyway…apparently the slower the weight comes off, the more likely it is to stay off. Not sure how that works, but that’s what everyone keeps telling me. :)

    Anyway, have fun with your writing tournament! Can’t really imagine what that would involve, but I hope you have fun, lol. Take care hon and I’ll catch up with you later! *hugs*

  2. Good luck with all of the school stuff! Yeah, I know what you mean about the spring break is over thing. LOL. I used to get that too. Spring break is DEFINITELY toooo short!!

    Good luck with Weight Watchers!!!!

    Aww! That is awesome about Rans! Man, hearing people talk about their awesome boyfriends sucks… Haha, for me. =P But it’s ok. Hehe…

  3. I was doing so great on Nutrisystem until my birthday. Now I gained back 4lbs. I really need to get on the plan again bceause I want to be the one to lose weight and be inspirational. lol :) Good luck, though!!!

  4. Good for you with that weight loss! I’m glad that you were inspired to lose some weight. I have found it’s made me feel a lot better about myself. Weight Watcher’s is awesome and such a healthy way to lose weight. I recently switched from calorie counting back to weight watcher’s and it’s been working well for me.
