Despite the title, this isn't a blog about losing it on my diet. No, this is about my cellphone.
I've wanted an iPhone. I've dreamt about an iPhone. But given my past history with first-generation apple products, I said I wasn't going to get one. They always break on me.
Well, I got my T-Mobile bill today. $90 in overage charges in the last month. No way to easily check if I'm using up my minutes. Just a $90 bill. Sigh.
So I went and bought an iPhone today. I don't dare open it up at work... the day will disappear in an instant.
I hope I love it as much as everyone else does. And I'm curious to find out if it gets reception at my house. Nobody really does, so if it does, I'll love it even more!!!
Good bye and good riddance T-Mobile!

Will I manage to stick to it?
I'm in the process of changing a few things in my life these days.
One is a commitment to live more like my hubby. T enjoys every minute of every day and doesn't stress about anything. In T's world, life is like a giant dessert to be consumed before dinner and savored with every bite. Its something I've always loved about him, but never tried consciously to imitate. Recently, I've decided to start.
Second, I've started the first diet I've ever been on in my life. Pretty good that I made it 38 years without ever having to try! I'm doing the lo-carb thing and I've dropped 5.5 lbs so far. Not bad, and better than I thought. Shorts that didn't fit me 2 weeks ago now fit just fine. Rockin'
Third, I started this blog K Ravings. Intended to be a place where I can make my observations about life a bit more expanded than just on twitter.
Like the diet and life outlook, I hope I can stick with it.

Life Threw Me a Curve Ball and I Got Fat
The months of March-July provided my life with more upheaval than I could handle. Losing my job (which was surprising to me and all my co-workers--but that's another blog post), Troy finally being released from his, T spending 7 weeks in Vegas and CA, fighting the process to get a loan on our Vegas condo, finding a new job and starting it (and boy am I thankful for that--and yet another post). This was on the heels of 3 months of being miserable at my job (again, refer to other blog post).
All these things led me to discover something about myself that I never knew before--I'm a stress eater. Who would have thought?? Besides my random sweets cravings during pregnancy, I've never really been interested in eating. I mean, T and I will drop quite a bit of $$ on a fab dinner created by an amazing chef. But that's more about the event and the experience than just the food. For 4 months, I was gobbling up everything in site and my body paid the price for it. I think I gained like 15lbs. I say I think because up until that time, I was so unworried about my weight, I was not even sure how much I weighed.
Yes, there is someone to blame for the diet. Credit actually, not blame. That would be my sister-in-law Pam.
I saw Pam recently at our family reunion. She looked amazing! Not just thin, but LEAN. Huge difference. I think she was down 30lbs.
Great motivation.
So now I'm doing the lo-carb and exercise diet and its working well so far. 5.5lbs in a week and a half. Never mind that my friend has lost 9lbs in the same span. For me, I'm just pleased I made it a week and a half!!
