Well... I was all prepared to write a nice blog today about it being the first day of Lent and how I am renewing my committment to this challenge with new fervor.. which I guess I still am.

But I woke this morning to a message from my partner to say that she's dropping out of the challenge AND out of the friendship.  I don't know what to say.  Its odd to be shedding so many tears over someone I've never met.  we've had some ups and downs in the friendship but through it all we've cared for each other and loved being "best buds".. well..at least I thought so.  She hasn't given me an explanation and only said that the fact that I keep telling her that I am here for her and care about her is one of the reasons.  I will pray for her.. I know at her weak moments she makes some poor choices and I hope this turns out to be a step forward for her and knows that I still care and am here if she needs me.. but I'm soooooo confused and hurt.  This came out of nowhere..

I guess if anyone reading this knows someone looking for a partner, let me know.  But if not, I guess I'll have to drop out too, cause even though I weigh enough for 2 people, I'm not a couple.

Good luck everyone!
