Phoebe and Lexi walked into the cafeteria. Phoebe was heading towards the lines until Lexi tapped Phoebe's shoulder, and went to sit down at thier table. Lexi unloaded her purse with two diet sodas and two bags of carrots; One for her and one for Phoebe.

"So how do you cut down the cravings? I almost ate that whole plate of pasta when out to eat with my mom... I was tempted to eat the whole table in fact." Phoebe smiled.

"I know I chew on gum, or suck on ice, because you're eating but they are empty calories." Lexi advised.

"It helps?"

"Yep or else trying see the calories before touch the food. It is really grosses me out which how much crap people would put in thier mouths, like April over there she is eating that sandwhich and chips, well the chips are atleast 150calories and then that sandwhich would have to be atleast 800 if not 1000."

Phoebe was hearing what Lexi was saying and looking at April's sandwhich, lettuce, cheese chicken, and mayo, and never realizing how many calories she would consume, and then thinking how long it was take for her to burn it off. Phoebe looked back at Lexi with a smirk, "Ya know what? I'm not even hungry anymore."

"See it is that simple." Lexi responded.

"As simple as what?" Zack asked sitting down with his food and Chad doing the same.

"As simple as we are going to win the meet on Friday." Lexi quickly informed Zack.

"We will win because you and the newest member that will lead us to victory." Chad smiled at Phoebe.

"Yep. Pheebs and I have been doing work out sessions for the past week and we will continue to be doing them, and soon Phoebe will be as fast as me." Lexi nudged her.

"I highly doubt it but it is worth a shot."

"So are you two doing anything after the meet?"

"Not that I know of." Lexi started. "Phoebe,"

"Oh I've plans with Cole, we only really get to see each other on the weekends, Saturdays as matter a fact because I have to spend Sundays with my mom so." Phoebe stated ending the conversation with Chad.

"So you'll be out of a party?" Chad questioned.

"I'm sure Cole and his roommate has a party going on." Phoebe rolled her eyes not getting guilted into hanging out with Chad over her boyfriend.

"How long have you two been together anyway?" Lexi woundered.

"Two years come next week." Phoebe smiled thinking about him.

"So when we get inside we'll go upstairs on scale and see what you've done." Lexi commanded all sweaty from thier mile run.

"Alright." Phoebe said hoping for good results.

They ran inside Phoebe's house and upstairs to her bathroom and hopped on the scale. Phoebe closed her eyes then looked down at the numbers 127. "5 pounds, I've only lost 5lbs."

"Hey that is great for your second week what are you up to?"

"nine. I'm not happy with it." Phoebe said stepping on the scale. Lexi got on it. "What does your say?"

"The same."

"Well I think that means we need to do about fifty more sit ups, run another mile. let's go." Phoebe said trying to push herself to get skinner, and walked out of the bathroom to the kitchen to go fill up her water bottle. Lexi was alittle concered on how Phoebe reacted and thinking she shouldn't have told her about it.

"Hey Phoebe maybe we should stop for the day." Lexi voiced.

"No, I want to keep my jeans fitting, and look great for my anaversery."

"Look I know what happens when I over work myself in a day, I pass out. I've done it, and I think we should stop for today."

"Well you can go upstairs and take a nap, or you can come with me, your choice but I need to do this." Phoebe said being every determined.

"Hey girls what are you up to?" Victor asked walking in the house.

"Oh we were gonna go for a run." Phoebe replied rushing to get away from her dad before he asks anymore questions. "Are you coming Lexi?"

"Yeah." Lexi replied grabbing her water bottle and followed Phoebe.
