Muscle aches and pains...



Ok...I made it out yesterday for my little 3km run and today I am paying for all that time off over the holidays!

OMG....2 weeks ago I was running 7km effortlessly and yesterday I could barely do 3km. In fact, I had to walk for about 500m about 2/3rds into it. YIKES. I cannot afford any more time off training...and with all the weight I am carrying...I have to get back on the diet.

I had been religiously following the PALEO DIET. This has so much to it that makes sense to me. And I am prone towards a more high protein/low carb approach -- although my read on Paleo is that it allows for fruits/veggies -- which some other diets don't as much. Last time on it, I did over indulge in nuts/seeds.

So...onward and downward with the weight....and no more booze. OY. Alcohol is so easy to consume and has so many calories...yet so much of a social life involves food and booze...and I have been very social lately.

TODAY: I have a swim session with a group tonight at 8:30pm -- for one hour. Other than the fact that I'm feeling fat and am a bad swimmer, I am looking forward to it. Also today, Cindy - my coach - has given me a new "core" routine...if I can figure it out.
