Lurker, coming out!
 

Hi Chicks!

My name is Kat, I'm a 26 year old nurse in Canada and I really enjoy this forum, so I thought I would come out and start posting! Looking forward to meeting everyone!!!

:D

Hi Kat welcome!

Woo, we have a Saskatchewan--er...? Saskatchewanian? Saskatchewannonian... :p

That's great, though, yay! :welcome: to the boards! Why lurk when you can post and get into the forums? :D

How are things going with the beginning of your plan? :)

Welcome! this place is getting full of Canadians! :) Look forward to chatting with you and hearing your story.

Hey Kat,

Welcome to the boards, it's always nice to have another Canadian around.

Hi Kat, welcome! And... is that your arm? DANG! I won't be picking at fights with you! haha, not that I would anyways... just saying... :)

Great! Hello~ :wave:

Welcome!! I post quite a bit but I still lurk about on people's threads without ever posting. Some people just put it better than I do so I let them!

:wave:Hello!

Thanks for the warm welcome!!

A little about me...

Yep, that's my python in my av. :lol: Yep, I'm a saskatchewanian (you got it Jelbb!) I'm a single mom/full time nurse. My daughter is 5 and she is SO cool. She started school this year, so it's been a whirlwind fall! I nurse on a Cardiac unit at the major hospital here. I love my job, it's more of a passion in life rather than a career. That said, everything I do in my life, is done with intensity and passion. :D That can be good or bad, mind you. :lol:

My journey...

I started off, 9 months post partum (4 years ago! Lord hold me.) at 180lbs. I got sick of being overweight and depressed. I strapped on my running shoes one day and started running. I got one block. :o In the span of 6 months, I worked up to 10 miles, and I had lost about 40lbs. I maintained that for 2 years, then I went to nursing school and stress got the best (and worst) or me, and I lost another 20lbs. I was 118lbs in nursing school, and I looked emaciated. I lived off cigarettes, coffee and zantac. Graduated with Honors, moved back to Sask (school was in Manitoba) and put on 15lbs. So here I sit at 135lbs, and I'm just wanting to lose the last 10. Its SO stubborn, but I workout hardcore (I train my boyfriend who is a member of the RCMP) but my eating sucks because I love ****ty, rich, salty food and lots of it.

So, my plan is simple, eating clean, push myself in my workouts (no problems there, I love love love fitness. It saved my life.) and try not to obsess over numbers. (Ha!!!)

So, enough of my autobiography! I look forward to chatting with all of ya's!

Hi Kat!
 

I like your Avatar, and I hope you've got a license to carry those guns. Har Har! *knee slap* :p

In all seriousness though, if that's your arm it's awesome. :D I am trying to get some of those. Halfway there, but I can't seem to get this fat on the back of my arm to go away.

Welcome to 20-somethings!

Welcome Welcome Welcome.

WELCOME!!... sounds like you have the right mind set to get this done!!
