Mamavation Monday: Boot Camp {One Week Down, Three to Go!}

May 7, 2012, by Kat Robertson 269 views | 5 comments

I’ve been making MUCH better food choices over the last week. I keep reminding myself that there’s no use in putting myself through all this torture if I’m going to come home and counteract it by eating junk. I’ve also noticed that I want to be more active in general now. I will go the long way to do things, park further from the entrance to a store, and take things downstairs to the laundry room as I pick them up instead of collecting everything and making one trip. I also (finally) switched from whole milk to 2% which is something I never thought I would do. (I love my milk! lol) I’m just SO ready for my body to get accustomed to the running. I get SO winded and my left leg just doesn’t particularly care for the impact, but I’m trying and hopefully that will work in my favor in the end.

Mamavation Monday: BOOT CAMP BOUND, BABY!

April 30, 2012, by Kat Robertson 305 views | 6 comments

I haven’t lost any weight this week. I swam twice this week (lots of active swimming, water aerobics, not just wading in the water lol), haven’t had the best week nutritionally but I did eat veggies for dinner twice. I’ve been drinking more water and trying to cut back more on the tea… I don’t drink a ton of it but I’d like to cut down to maybe just once per week. I am starting boot camp TONIGHT! I will be going four days per week (Monday through Thursday) for the next month and I’m EXCITED to have trainers that will push me to my 21-pound weight loss goal by June 3rd.

The Voice: My Experience, Reflections, Tips, Future Plans, & THANK YOUs

March 16, 2012, by Kat Robertson 478 views | 19 comments

I auditioned at the casting call in Atlanta for The Voice today. This is my second time trying out for The Voice and my third time being rejected by a vocal talent reality television show — my first was by American Idol. Rejection sucks. No matter how good you know you are; no matter how confident you are in your abilities; no matter how talented everyone believes you to be, nothing really cushions the blow that comes from rejection directly related to that passion. When you open yourself up in the most vulnerable sense to allow someone to specifically judge you on the most important aspect of your personal being, it’s rough to be sent the message that you aren’t good enough for their arena.

Humpday Update: Tears for Canon, Talia’s Headaches, and The Voice

March 14, 2012, by Kat Robertson 137 views | 1 comment

I’m going to try to start doing a weekly Wednesday update, especially when I haven’t updated much during the days leading up to it. Here’s the first of (hopefully) many … y’all know how terrible I am at maintaining weekly patterns LOL!

Summary

My camera was stolen from me, Talia went to the neurologist, and I’m looking forward to The Voice having casting calls in Atlanta at the end of the week, so I went shopping which was mostly a complete fail.

Mamavation Monday: Are You Ready for #TheVoiceOfKat Again?? :)

March 4, 2012, by Kat Robertson 179 views | 12 comments

We moved to Georgia, just outside the city of Atlanta, back in July of last year. In November, my parents moved in with us… so this time, I don’t have to figure out who will take care of my kids while I’m away. My mom is here and doesn’t work… so this time, it’s perfect. I got the email from NBC this morning informing me that The Voice casting calls are coming back to Atlanta next month and I immediately got butterflies in my stomach — not from nervousness, but from excitement.

I asked myself, “Am I ready for #TheVoiceOfKat again?” And, yes. I am!

It’s Official… I Will Forever Be a Mom of 5 & I’m Not Complaining

A couple of weeks ago I shared my feelings on our decision to not have any more children… realizing that I will never again be called “Mommy” for the first time was a bit difficult. Yesterday, Barry had the procedure done and the finality of it set in with me. :( Maybe I’m crazy – [...]

2012: Resolutions For the New Year

January 1, 2012, by Kat Robertson 95 views | 1 comment

Resolutions are nothing unless they are remembered, implemented, and focused on throughout the year, which is where I typically fail — it’s not a lack of intention, but rather a lack of follow-through. This year, I am going to come up with a system of holding MYSELF accountable. I’m not yet sure what that will [...]
