Back to Blogging

So I have been on blogging break once again. At first I thought I wanted to start all over with a new blog and new address and everything. Then talking to Mandy one of my sweet new friends in Firework people community I just decided to delete a few posts and do a new name on this one. 

So now instead of Fat 2 Fab Kaitlyn it is now Musings of My 20s. Yes I am still trying to get more "fab", but I just felt like this new name is more my style. And with  a new group I'm a part of I wanted to do a new introduction since a lot has changed since Jan. 2014. 

So hello new readers. My name is Kaitlyn. You can call me that or Kait, KK, or whatever.  I'm just turned 25. Whoop whoop. I am Christ Follower since April but I have been a Christian my whole life. More about that statement tomorrow! I live in sweet home Alabama ( roll tide). haha. I am really enjoying my life for the first time in awhile. I live with my parents right now and my baby sister. I'm oldest daughter of three girls. My poor daddy. haha. I have an amazing boyfriend of almost 7 months. He really saved my life. I am a foodie I love trying out different foods. I love to travel don't do as much I would like to. I love reading and have been obsessed with it since I could start to read on my own. I have the best friends in real life and online life. ummm.. if you would like to know more ask away and I will let you know anything you want to know! I promise to update more and let you know more of my story. Some of my story is coming up tomorrow so look out for it! 

Love Y'all,

Day 4 and 5

It's been crazy this weekend!! I went back to my college for homecoming!! My second time as an alumnus. It was so needed! I got to see some dear friends I hadn't seen in so long! 

These girls were some of bible study girls! I really don't know where I would be without them! 

So Day 4 and 5 for personal goals. 

Day 4 I would love to run or walk a 5K starting this month every month for a year. :). 

Day 5 lastly I need go back to drinking water for my most of my drinking habits. I've been ok with that lately but sometimes I go buy a diet coke. Sometimes I get a coffee. I am just need to need to stop drinking empty calories. It's going to be hard but I know I can do it! 

Day 2 and 3

It's October 3!! which means 3 days until my birthday!! 

So I already forgot to blog yesterday. Boo. 

However this week on my bucket list is about me and my personal bucket list items. 

First I would love to lose 50lbs or more pounds this year. If you are new around here you don't know I have a problem with my weight. So I have lost almost 8 lbs that I know of these past few weeks. I am back on the weight loss train and working out at least 3 to 4 x a week now!! I know I can do it but it's going to be hard. Rome wasn't built in a day ya know!

My second goal is to buy a 2 piece I'm comfortable in. I've haven't felt comfy in one in quite some time. So we shall see how this goes. :). 

So there's 2 out of 31 out of my bucket list of being 25! What's on your bucket list this year!? 

 

31 Days 25th Year Bucket List

So today I start the 31 days of October challenge. I will be blogging about my bucket list for my 25th year.

 My birthday is Monday and I have always wanted to do a bucket list for a certain year. 

They will be separated each week with diffrent themes that are important to me. I can't wait to tell and show y'all my list!!  

So tomorrow I start my list eeek!! 

Love y'all,

Kaitlyn 

25...

As I look at my calendar today I look ahead 2 weeks from now and to be honest I'm grateful. I will be turning 25 that day. 

As I look back in my life I remember that 16, 17, year old girl who didn't think she would make it past 18. Who didn't think she would ever be loved. Who didn't think she would have a great group of girl friends who support her (even if most of them live far away). Who didn't believe God would forgive her for all her stuff. 

And now here I stand 2 weeks before my birthday thankful and blessed that I am here today with y'all. 

I have an amazing supportive boyfriend of almost 6 months. Who loves me for me. Who encourages me daily to be my best self. Who loves to take pictures and funny ones too. Who I see God's love in everyday. Who puts God before us. Who laughs, comforts, loves so big, and so much more. Who calls me out when I need it. I love you Adam. 

My girl friends here in town and across the USA are so supportive of me. I've never had such a great group girls who have rallied for me to show me they loved me like these girls. I finally realizing what a true friend is again and I am so thankful for that. 

Thanks for reading. 

Love, 

Kaitlyn

Dear 2013 Kaitlyn,

Dear 2013 Kaitlyn Especially Aug. 27th one, 

      You are about to join a gym by yourself. You want to do this for you. Let me tell you you are going to do great at first but then you let a certain guy come in the way. (We all know who "he" is or was.) 

So you been on and off this journey for this past year because of him. Let me tell you girl he doesn't care that you are losing weight or even gaining weight. He only cared about himself. 

So finally in Feb. 23th 2014 that but of a guy broke up with you. First you are going to be sad and upset then angry then you finally get it. 

It's hard to tell you this but he truly never loved you. He tells you this. At first it hurts that you wasted 17 months on him, but it was all for a reason. 

The reason comes April 8th 2014. His name is Adam. He makes me you laugh, remembers stupid movie quotes and trivia again, and overall good guy. And he contacts you daily not just through texting but through calling you as well. 

He also encourages you through everything including weight loss. 

He is so much better for you girl. So hold him close and keep on holding on to him. He's worth it! 

You also have a great girlfriends in real life  and online life who helped you out through that time! They make everyday so much better!! Shout out to my prayer girls!!! 

So in 2 days you are about to celebrate one year at the gym you've called home and the family of supporters. You can do it this time! You have a whole team supporting you. You've got this! 

Yes sure you right where you started last time weight wise but you learned your lessons.

 So go now shinning star you can reach for anything!! 

Love, 

2014 Kaitlyn
