Happy Spring!

Hi Kate,

Let me start off by saying that I love you and you are one of my best friends!!!! I am so sorry that you have been feeling bad lately. And you're right that it doesn't make sense-- you're going through a major body/ mental change, and it should leave you with positive feelings. I just don't know dude. I want you to be happy Kate again!

If anything, knowing your kicking my ass at this should make you feel better :)

A little rundown of my days since I last posted (Mon):

Tuesday: (color, YAY!)

I didn't work out at the gym, but I did go on a short, fast walk with the kids. Maybe 20 mins. And I ran twice. Once was uphill. And I mean a HUGE hill. 7 year old Margaret triple dog dared me to do it so I really had no choice. You can't really turn down a triple dog dare. She ran up it with me and had a hard time at the end. Yeah, she has short legs, so she can't run as fast, blah blah blah, but it was awesome that I beat her, bc she's so fit! haha I'm ridiculous. I also did 10 jump lunges. Those suck. Bad. As far as eating goes, I ate chocolate at the end of the day. So yeah, I ate a bad, but everything else I ate on Tues was good.

.. I'm an idiot. I did do bad stuff on Tues. Just forgot about it. Blame the green beer. Yep, I had a lot of beer. But the good news (okay, not really good news bc I had so much of it) is that the beer was a new low cal beer: 64 cal Miller Lite. I had a lot, and I also split some bar food with John. We got chicken tenders. I had one and a half and some fries. Bad, but I knew I was going to be eating bar food.

Wednesday:

I had, once again, girl scout cookies. I think I had 3. And no working out.

Today: .. this green hurts my eyes. ... .... Okay, this is better.

Breakfast:
-Fiber One apple streusel granola bar (Kate, you HAVE to try these. SOO good. And healthy!)
- banana

Snack:
- One piece of whole wheat bread with pbutter
- handful of goldfish

Lunch:
- Lean pocket
- pinapple
-and... five girl scout cookies. .. (Ugh. I need to remember this feeling of shame and remorse the next time I want to eat shit like this. Seriously.)

Pre Workout snack:
- Fiber one bar

Dinner:
- Ham egg and cheese english muffin, with low cal cheese, low cal, whole grain muffin and three thin slices of ham.
- low cal velvetta easy mac (180 cal and 3 g.of fat. don't buy this shit. it sucks)

And I worked out for 35 mins, uphill, faster than usual walking. It's late, but I'm going to do some crunches tonight. Let's say, 135, bc that's how much I want to weigh. Oh, speaking of, I'm still at 150. But that makes sense, bc I'm not doing enough to change it. I feel like I'm just scraping by. That one week really fucked me up. I got off of the plan (I refuse to say wagon, even if I do live in Ga) , and didn't get back on it the same way. It's like in school where you cram for the test and you're lucky if you make a high C. But you know that if you would've studied, you would have gotten an A. And you are working, going to school AND keeping up with the plan. That is so awesome. I think I'm going to need you to start calling me or something. That way, instead of just relying on the little voice in the back of my head (the one that hasn't been around for the past two weeks), I can rely on your voice on my phone.

Tomorrow is the first day of SPRING!

Keep doing GREAT, KATE!
