My Journey is just starting

One thing I am very passionate about overcoming has been my weight loss journey. I know I have pounds to lose in order for my future to begin and while it might scare me on one hand, it gives me a lot of motivation on the other. I know I can do it if I put my mind to it but the how has always been the thing that has confused me. There are so many options out there such as diet and exercise, weight loss pills, gastric bypass, and other fad diets. It is so easy to look for an easy solution that I found myself looking at alli reviews which scared the crap out of me. I don’t want to take a pill to lose weight and the fact I let my mind wander off in that direction is alarming. I want to lose my weight the old fashioned way by hard work and changing my lifestyle!

Mommy’s dilemna

For those that don’t know, my mom has been deemed disabled since her car wreck back in 2001. She was in an on-the-job car wreck which not only ended her nursing career but also left her with a lot of health problems including chronic back pain. In fact, my mom is on a morphine patch because of the pain which means driving isn’t really an option since she is sleepy a lot and her brain is kind of fuzzy as she likes to put it. My mom hates the side effects of the patch so she goes longer than needed on changing it which she pays for but she says it makes her feel a lot better since she isn’t fuzzy and missing out on things. I love my mom to death and the fact she risks being in torturous pain just to know what’s going on and being “here” with us means a lot which is why I am helping her on her search for disability insurance. My mom has Medicare but that isn’t covering enough so we’ve been looking for a supplemental insurance especially for those that are disabled. It’s really hard because my mom isn’t retirement age so most supplemental insurances are for those that are at or above retirement age which is why we’re going the disabled route. I swear, I have a headache after looking at plan after plan and reading over premiums and deductibles and all that jazz. Why can’t insurance agencies just be up front and tell you what you need to know instead of making you go search for all of it?

A sigh of relief

Now that the wedding is over and I have been a married woman for almost a month, I can finally sit back and relax. In fact, I can spend my days pondering about barcode scanners or whatever else my little heart desires. I have done away with the stress of wedding planning, finals, and school in general until June 8th. Even after June 8th I won’t have that much stress and it amazes me how I can sit around and do nothing and that is a-okay. I am not used to having so much free time on my hand and it’s been so nice yet so odd. I’ve spent a lot of time reading and catching up on my television. Kate has officially began her resting and relaxation period!

One project I plan on working on is fixing my blog up and getting into transition from accepting blog posts to just being an all out personal blog only! I can’t wait to have Kateness back to all Kateness and nothing else!
