The plan is a  “had” because 2 mornings ago Katie and I tried it, and nearly killed ourselves, lol. In our defense, we did a brisk walk for about 2 miles, and then my new shoes were giving me blisters, so we walked back home (well I had to do sort of a joggy walky thing because it was less painful on my heels) where I changed my shoes, and then we started back on our brisk walk, which very quickly turned into a brisk jog, then a brisk stride, and then a full out sprint!

The thing is, Katie and I are both competitive, and we had never worked out together, so neither of us realized how tired the other one was and didn’t want to be the sissy.

We got to the park, where there is this amazing outdoor stage, and we did crunches and planks, and high knees and whatever else we could think of, and then we walk/jogged home.

Now, Katie went out that day, I was spent, I think I left my apartment once for 30 minutes to buy an ethernet cable. And the next morning, we were both DYING, sore and totally exhausted.

I don’t know what we were thinking pushing so hard.

Totally jet lagged, in 90 degree weather, practically 100% humidity (thats probably a huge exaggeration, but thats what it felt like okay). Our bodies were mad at us.

But hey…at least we worked out.

“Hi Kasi,

I found your blog through MyCurves. I am a manager of a Curves in England and was so excited to read your story of how much you achieved at Curves. I just wanted to say a huge congratulations to you for all the success you have had and I hope you do well with the Summer challenge and get your 20 bucks back!

You are a shining example of how Curves is great for everyone, all ages. Particularly in the UK I find that younger women are not so attracted to Curves as more mature ladies. Myself, being 24, want to get more young women interested in Curves and I think your blog and your story is a great way of doing that!

I hope to be out in California in the next couple of years so will definitely have to stop by Curves of West Hollywood to say hi!

Best wishes!

Beth”

I threw away probably about half, because I put them in that crisper drawer and pretty much forgot about them. But, after throwing so many away and feeling incredibly guilty and wasteful, I made it a point to use everything I had left, and as a result, I have been eating veggies every day for the past week, week and a half. Not with two meals, and probably not as many as I should, but its progress. And the thing is, I feel better. I can really feel a difference in my energy level, and my cravings.

We are supposed to eat fruits and veggies for a reason. They aren’t just put here to make our fridges rotten.

Anyway, I tell her she has sexy arms and you know what she says back, “thanks I workout at Curves.” !!!!!!!!!!!! lol, I was so excited, I immediately ripped off my wrap to expose my own arms (which I am quite proud of) and then we proceeded to discuss how great our own Curve’s are. She’s a member in Los Feliz, and I of course am a proud WeHovian (a word that I just created right now!)

I just thought that was fantastic, it made my night and I wanted to share.

Speaking of good eating…Bacon wrapped hotdogs with grilled peppers, cucumbers, onions, brown mustard, pickles AND relish, all on a sesame seed hoagie…sounds absolutely disgusting…DELICIOUS!

I could only have one though, seriously intense Fourth of July food.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe night!

I know that sounds unimpressive, but when I say we went grocery shopping I mean we went GROCERY shopping.

There were dozens of bags and hundreds of dollars involved.

You see, I am officially a healthy eater again as of today.

Because lets be honest…I’ve been bad…bad meaning, wine, bread and burritos.

In order for me to eat nutritiously all the time, I have to have AMPLE supply of nutritious foods at all times. So, Laura (my little sister) and I went to Fresh and Easy here in Hollywood and rocked out. I felt like my mother at the check out. So much food, and so many options!

Now we can have salad or steamed veggies or fish, or steak, or chicken!

No more old frozen stir fry and questionable condiments!

I’m stoked.

I’ll let you know what amazing meals I am sure to come up with.
