ouch ergh oof

I find myself suddenly very active.

Monday I worked out my legs. I need to push myself harder in the squat dept. Or perhaps, take my sets a little slower. Hmm....

In the evening, an hour-long walk around Hyde Park with tizzle, during which I spent most of the time trying to keep up with his insanely long legs.

By Tuesday, the ass was plenty sore - squeeze it!

The rain kept me from the gym til' about 2, where I had to rush through a chest/triceps/abs workout before getting to a meeting. Grr.

In the evening I ran for 30 minutes, roughly 2.5 miles. I could have kept going, but Tim was smart to encourage me to stop. I've only been at this running thing for a couple weeks and I don't think my legs are ready to get too serious yet.

Today, the sleep in and the rest is super sweet. I'm pretty sore from yesterday's workout, but my legs feel healthy and strong, and only a little sore in all the right places.

Keeping to <1600 calories / day while still getting at least 130 grams of protein has been mildly challenging but I've settled into it now. I'm not losing much weight yet, but my clothes are feeling a bit more loose (comfortable) and I'm enjoying the benefits of being able to both lose fat and put on muscle during this early stage of the game.

Here's to hoping for a good reason to buy some new Diesel's at the end of the summer...
