I started a “diet” last Sunday. I chose Sundays as my weigh in day, in part, to keep me a little more cognizant of my eating on the weekends. I’m almost afraid to say this out loud but I lost 5.5 pounds this week! I was able to keep my calorie count each day between 1200 and 1600, ran 18 miles total and did the 30 Day Shred DVD twice. I realize most of that loss is probably water, but it’s still nice to see the numbers on the scale moving in the right direction.
Speaking of the shred, I could hardly walk yesterday. After doing it for the second time (didn’t wait a full 24 hours due to scheduling…that may have been bad) my quads felt like jello immediately after finishing. They are still sore today although not nearly as much as the first or second day. I feel it a little in my chest too but nothing in the arms. I’m going out to purchase the 3 pound weights later today which should make it MUCH more challenging. In the back of my mind I have toyed with doing the DVD again today, but sanity won out. I’m staring my marathon training this week and I need my legs to function. Assuming the quads aren’t too bad after my run tomorrow, I’ll do it then.

I found drinking lots and lots of water during and after exercise helps eliminate muscle soreness as it gives the body raw materials to dilute the lactic acid created by working the muscles.
Good luck with all of the work! I was a big slacker in general this weekend (10+ miles of walking does not equal a long run, no matter how much I wish it were true).
This is awesome!! I am so glad the plan worked. Now, for the real test….week 2 and 3…
To an aspiring knitter (as in I look at the patterns and have bought yarn, but have lent out my knitting needles to never be seen again) I am incredibly impressed by the beautiful projects you have posted (and the Cinci wine specials)!
I also wanted to talk to you about the upcoming Kate Jacobs Friday Night Knitting Club book, KNIT THE SEASON but can’t seem to find your contact email! If you’d be interested in a copy for review consideration and knitting inspiration, please email me at the address listed.
Best,
Lydia
