today starts the “bring back Kate’s glorious rump” effort. it will involve working out in the morning and after work (if I have time) and eating more thoughtfully. the soda is definitely banned, ice cream is allowed in extremely small quantities and infrequently at that, alcohol is cut out (except for tubing for Lear’s birthday), fruits and vegetables will be incorporated more than all the other stuff, and fish will become the main meat in my life (if I can afford it.) I’m tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin, it’s time to take charge and sweat it all out.
