"I can't diet with you! I could EAT you!"

So Leanna and I are going to be "diet-buddies"...

[insert hysterical laughter here]

Seriously though, I started dieting. I bought a whole slew of those 100 calorie packs of various tasty snack foods... Some diet Coke, some soup, some cereal... And some other random pre-packaged meal type things. It's going good so far, except for the fact that I'm craving everything I can't have... I really wanted Doritos last night, so I bought some of those nacho cheese flavored mini rice cake things... Which were tasty... BUT... I downed the whole bag. >.< I should've just gotten the bag of Doritos, and stopped there.

So aside from being constantly hungry and never being particularly satisfied... It's going well. I've actually acquired a taste for diet Coke... Which is disturbing. I should probably cut out soda all together, but I've got a ridiculous addiction to caffeine. So, I'll drink Coke Plus, and get some vitamins and minerals! Brilliant! Hah.

I also haven't been to Starbucks in... Days. Part of that is thinking about how many calories are in a Grande Mint Mocha Chip Frappuchino with chocolate whipped cream and chocolate syrup drizzle (470, for those who care)... And part of it is being slightly financially challenged. And I guess I can blame part of it on not ever being awake before noon. XD I should really try to get to bed earlier, so I can wake up at a reasonable hour. I think I'd get more done if I was up earlier.

Exercise is another topic to tackle, but not just yet. I was once very active... Marching band kept me skinny and energized. Since I have nothing to keep me moving, I've become flabby and lazy. I can barely hike up a flight of stairs without feeling like my lungs are going to collapse. Leanna and I are going to start gymming... At some point... Because we're both insanely out of shape, and don't want to exercise with itty bitty Katie. Haha. I should really start walking my dogs more, since I have several evenings off through the week. I'm sure they'd appreciate it, and I could use the activity.

In other news... My life is pretty boring. We're counting down the days until we move out of this God-forsaken apartment! July 21st, we can start getting the flock out of here. The walls keep closing in on me in this place... I can't take it anymore. And our new apartment is absolutely adorable. I love it to death. I'm stoked about the fireplace, and being upstairs... I can't wait. I think it'll be a much needed fresh start. I need a little change every now and then.

Summer A is almost over... THANK GOD. Actually, the class I'm taking is pretty badass... Love it. But I'll be glad when it's over, and I can rack up some serious hours at work. I need the moneys. Although, more time at work will probably kill me. It's nice only being there 4 days a week now. I need to get some money in the bank for our moving adventure, as well as for a possible trip back home. I miss my mom and daddy Butch like crazy... I need some time off to get down there and catch up on the family life. Plus, our new apartment will cost us more than our current one... So I need to hurry up and learn some budgeting skills. =/

Time to study before class...
