Today, I got a text message from my sister saying that she had bought me a "treat," and I should come by to get it after work. Kathryn's love language is definitely GIFTS, so all day I fantasized about a new lip gloss, cd, or shirt.
When I got there she said, "I hope this won't offend you." ...Never a good sign. Spanx? A miracle bra? Whitening strips?
Close. The Flat Belly Diet Journal. Add it to the list. She knows me too well.
The fun part? She bought herself one too, AND, she'd spent the afternoon writing an encouraging note and taping "motivational" pictures inside of them for us. (She really has learned something from me!)
I even found this little stinker on the last page... She's so cute.*
Then, we had a super exciting sister-trip to the grocery store to stock up on the necessities for the Four-Day Anti-Bloat. It also happened to be in the midst of a miniature snow storm so, things were a little hectic. Kathryn may or may not have gotten in a fight with a few of the cashiers. We may or may not have been pushing identical carts and checking off items in our journals. You know how I love things like this...
Here's what I'll be eating for the next 96 hours.
(Yes, I posed my groceries portrait style. I'm honestly not sure what that says about me!) And no, contrary to what might appear, this post was NOT sponsored by Kroger brand products. ;)
For now, I think I'll have another slice of pizza and go mix up some ginger-root, organic lemon, and mint "Sassy Water" for tomorrow. The website says I can "lose up to 7 pounds and 5 inches in just the first three days." I hardly think that will make me look like "bikini girl," but it's a chance I'm willing to take.
If your sister can't tell you you need to get a grip, who can?!? Thank you girl! 26 Days... Here we come... tomorrow.
*Not a word typically associated with Kathryn. Only sisters get to see these sides of people!
You tell us about how this "diet" goes for you! The 4-day anti bloat sounds intense! Good luck!

If you had not taken pictures, I never would have believed that Kathryn actually did something this sweet* (girl, I say that with love). I'm going to need major updates from both of you on this one!

Hey E...you look good (we're almost family Jeff, don't worry, I know you didn't). You don't need these silly diets. I just wanted to let you know that worst case scenario, you just added a member to your yellow book collection. Congrats!
