I'm back!

Hello all! It's been nearly a year since I started this blog and unfortunately have gained some weight since then. It's been about... maybe 15 pounds? I think. I don't know. I didn't go back and check what I wrote when I started.

However, I felt as if I should start updating since I'm going to start doing something about my weight problem tomorrow (or today since it's 3:11am).

Some quick updates: I'm an EMT! Yay for me. It's been awesome so far and well worth it. However, with joining a fire department comes drama but very good friendships. Gotta take both, unfortunately. I think therein lies my problem! They LOVE to eat and I love to eat with them! And what they eat, and what I eat, isn't particularly healthy (even though I do my best to not get too crazy as they do).

Anyway. I'm trying to do something new with a no-salt, no-oil diet. I know, I know, diets are bad, blah blah blah. But I want to cut down portion sizes just like I did 2-3 years ago when I lost 25 pounds.

I have to start the gym again which I hope to get to sometime tomorrow if not then on Tuesday. We did just get hit with a major snow storm and I have been up since 9am on Saturday. We had a 16 hour snow standby where I only got a good 2 hours of sleep.

I had planned to go food shopping yesterday (Saturday), but that didn't work out because as soon as I got out of my final (yes, on a Saturday), the snow had already started to make the roads slick. So, I'm going to have to improvise what I eat tomorrow while I go food shopping (hopefully) tomorrow.

The one thing I'm worried about is my knee. I'm not going to try to overdo it (at the gym, that is). That and my back is still killing me.

Anyway. I hope this blog is going to serve its purpose to help keep me motivated. I think getting to the gym is going to be the toughest part; I'm sure once I start going a few times, it'll get easier to drag my butt there.

I know I'll need motivation especially when classes start up again at the end of January and the stress comes back full force. Gotta love Organic Chemistry.

Until tomorrow,
Kate
