Hello blog world. As some of you may know, I am going to Florida on March 8th, and because of the trip, I've been dieting and working out, to get my hopefully 'four pack' by the time we leave.
I usually run every night for four days now, I increase a mile each night, which has brought me to four miles. I also do some ab work out like sit ups, planks, push ups, etc etc.
As for my dieting, I'm a vegan for lent, but also contributes to my diet. I usually have an orange and peanut butter, or almonds and a smoothie for lunch, and peanut butter bread, veggies, and oatmeal or fruit. So I think it's going pretty good.
But my parents aren't very fond of the idea of 'vegan.' We actually have a big argument about every night, even though it's only 3 days into lent. They say it's very unhealthy, but I feel as if it's helping me stay fit!
I personally like it, but maybe it's not suitable for the rate I'm exercising...
Any ideas or tips.?

Our Basketball Season
With our amazing coach Ms.O and our great athletes this year consisting of Hannah Alme, Hannah Addyman, Grace Holdorf, Hannah Evenson, Hailey Demotts, Julia Olsem, Emily Perrish, Alyssa Nilsen, and myself, also with our awesome managers consisting of Maddie Campell, Brooke Evenson, and Carson Hinzman, we were able to go 12 and 0! We couldn't of finished our season undefeated without our hard work, Coach O. with her inspiring words and powerful coaching, and all of our parents with their enthusiasm and support.
Some games were close, but most of our games were a blow out. We didn't expect that from ourselves, but Ms.O brought our athletes within us that we didn't know existed. We all poured our heart out in every game we played and in every practice we had.
Unfortunatly, with our hard work and passion for the sport, 3 of our nine players suffered injuries through out the season. Hannah Addyman, our starter, tore her ACL and MCL and shattered her meniscus early in the season playing at SCC. Hannah Evenson was the second to go at a game at New Richmond when she pulled everything from her knee to her ankle, keeping her out for the season as well. In our last game in Elsworth Emily Perrish sprained her ankle, causing her to sit for the remaining time of the game. Each one of them were devestated, but Hannah Addyman seemed to be the most.
Last year in traveling basketball, Hannah did the exact same thing to her left knee, and putting her out from the whole school basketball season all together. She under went surgery last December and will be having the same surgery again on Febuary 28th on her right knee.
Her passion for basketball is unbelievealbe. She's dont so much for our team throughout the years, being an amazing athlete and cheering with her positive attitude. Without her on the court with us, it somehow feels empty, she brings the light into our game. But even with her sitting on the bench, we all hear her positive advice and cheering and even tearing up watching us play wishing she could be out there with us.
Even with her past two years of sitting on the bench, she'll never give up hope. I've never seen anyone love basketball like she does. She'll never give up, it only causes her to fight harder for a quick recovery. With her hope and faith, we send our prayers out to her. We love you Hannah.
Basketball to me is more than just a sport, it's something you have to devote yourself to. Something that really brings out who you are, and when our class of 2016 girls basketball team works as a team, we do amazing things.
