Thoughts
My apologies for the lack of updates this weekend. I'll catch up now. There isn't much to report, as the weekend was fairly light.

I was meant to go swimming on Saturday, but other obligations forced me to miss the pool times. Instead, I went for a hike with some friends in the mid afternoon, which was fun. There were some steep inclines at a few points but it was otherwise fairly manageable, and I worked up a pretty decent sweat by the end of it. I then went to a basketball game and cheered my ass off for over two hours, jumping up and down and practically losing my voice. That has to count for some sort of workout, right?

Eating was also fairly lite. I went to the movies on Saturday night and had a big root beer--I was thirsty and it was tantalizing. Probably not the best decision, but I had eaten fairly healthily over the week, so it wasn't a huge deal. I also had Starbucks for the first time in about a month (I generally avoid it at all costs), and had a chai latte. Yeah...
