“With My Head Held High…”

I know I said I’d try to update this weekly…and I haven’t done so. But here is my update. Because it’s never too late to jump back on the bandwagon. I think It’s been hard because my big sister has been breaking from the world of blogging. And she’s kind of why I started this thing — to stay in touch with her.

Alright, my three things to speak on. In order:

1. Weight Loss Goal of 100 lbs. :: I bought an iPod touch the other day. Okay, okay, I know…you’re all thinking, ‘But Wildcat Kate, buying an iPod doesn’t mean you shed like 20 lbs overnight.” But it’s how I’m using my iPod Touch (which, as a side note, is the best investment I’ve made in a very long time) that makes all of the difference. I pop in my headphones and walk an hour every night (though, I fell short a couple of days this week. One due to weather and one due to the fact that I was sore and tired and one because I played softball that day…two games. I also downloaded an app called LoseIt! (Big Sister suggested that one…). It’s kind of like Weight Watchers without paying, and a free app. So I started using that today and have my number of calories figured out for each day. Wish me luck!
2. Preparing for Broadway :: I have started learning guitar. It’s actually pretty sweet, shockingly enough. Which really doesn’t get me to Broadway so much as my goal of Captive Free. But the experience of Captive Free will look good on a resume, so that will help with my performance. I also purchased the Aida and Little Shop of Horrors soundtracks. Exposure to new shows = more audition material and opportunities. Perfect.
3. How Did I Better Myself? :: This morning I took my mother’s position as Hospitality Team Leader at church. Mostly because she’s ill so I had no choice. Nonetheless, it made me feel good to greet the members of my church with a smile and know that I was doing some good. I know it’s lame, but to me, that’s important.

In the meantime, I go back to school on August 17th, 2009. Saw my new roomie about a week ago. I miss her lots. And I will be going to visit BFF next weekend. Summer is going fast. And I’m beyond ready for it to be done!

No real moral to this story…but catch regular updates at @wildcat__kate on Twitter. Also, shameless plug, feel free to follow this And let me know what you think of my journey. That’s why it’s out here.

Until We Meet Again,
Wildcat Kate
