Stace, I totally agree!! I always thought of you when I saw her on the show!!

 

[Stacey]

I bet she does have to beat off the drunks!!!! That is such a cool job!!

Jenny-really--LoL--thanks!

 

[Cate]

Thanks guys! You are all so good for the ego

The rooftop gig is fun and I just do it when I can (I have a day job). My friend owns it, so it's a blast! The guys are good...it's strange working w/a ring this year...but they don't seem to care! I got pretty good tips today and on guy (older, just being nice) bought me a Cubs visor! It was sooo nice of him. Last year a guy (this one hitting on me) bought me this really cute little pink Wrigleyville tank top.

I've never gotten Jenny Garth...but I'll take it . And I think Stacey is prettier than Trista

I had some skinny cow ice cream

This day sucked, but I somehow convince myself that I've been eating too much and was unable to eat more

I feel better since I've increased my calories, but sometimes I think it can't be like this and I freak out....and I dont eat so much...it's a cycle

 

[Jenny]

Hey Cate! It's Friday

Don't beat yourself up about yesterdays low cals I do that too sometimes What you need to do is up that protein girl Why are you a vegetarian btw?

What's in store for you this weekend? Some quality time with the soon to be hubby?

 

[atherjen]

TGIF Cate!!!
dont worry too much about yestarday-just try to eat more today! I agree with Jenny-you need more protein girl! maybe try adding in that extra shake like you thought.

haha thats soo cute guys buying you things! whats your hunny think of that?

 

[Cate]

Hey Ladies ...I love Friday!

I had my last meeting w/the trainer today and she set up a program for me to follow. I will post it later, so I can get feedback. She tested my body fat and took measurements. I really didn't go down, except I evened out my legs (I had broken my ankle last Sept and one leg was stronger and larger than the other), so that is good.

But.......my body fat went from 18.2% - 15.8% In four weeks!!! My weight stayed the same...126.

This weekend we are going to my friends wedding in Lake Geneva, WI (about 2 hours away)...so I cannot wait!!!

Happy Friday!!!

 

[atherjen]

OMG Cate that is SUCH EXCELLENT progress!!! Way to go!!!!! that means youve gained some muscle and lost fat! cant beat that!! Keep up all your hard work!!!

have fun at your friend wedding! sounds nice!

 

[Jenny]

WOW!! that is AMAZING!! Great job :bounce:

Have fun at the wedding!!

 

[Stacey]

Great Progress Cate!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!!!

Have fun at your friends wedding!!!! ( I Just LOVE weddings)

[Cate]

OK...so as soon as I said I felt like I had indigestion, I ate my grapes and I feel better

Oh well...will keep traking and see!

 

[Jenny]

Hey Cate!
Protein looks better yesterday Keep working on getting it up, I think 150g would be good for you at least

The Leptigen could probably take some time to get used to, just keep track of what you're feeling I'm thinking of trying some too, but it's so damn expensive and I'm just a poor college student

Good job on the run yesterday! Have you ever tried Spinning? I love it, I'm an instructor at my local gym and it just rocks. I'm about to go take a class in an hour

 

[atherjen]

Nice run!!! really sets the tone for the day eh? I love getting moving early!
I agree with Jenny-good to see you got more protein! try and get it up as you can. your doing super!!

Have a great weekend!!

 

[Cate]

Thanks girls! I will keep trying to increase the protein. I love cot cheese, so I need to eat more of it!

Jenny - I have done spinning in the past, but not lately...maybe I need to revisit

Have a great weekend...we are off to Lake Geneva for the wedding

 

[Jenny]

Oooh, is that Lake Geneva by the little town Geneva outside of Chicago?? Oooh, I love that little cute town! Justin and I were there in January (it's really close to his house) and they have little swedish stores and stuff there! So cute
I hope you had a good time at the wedding!

It was hard today because we were traveling home. But we did take advantage of the 80+degree weather and took a 1.5 hour walk around our new neighboorhood. We found all sorts of fun places to eat at and shop .

The wedding was a blast, great to see all the girls. One got married last year, and three of us this year! We drank and danced and talked weddings.....luckily there were boys there to talk of Vegas and football for my DF!
