Bleah!

I came across nothing amusing today to post here. Instead of getting up to do my HIIT, I argued with myself and wound up getting up late without really getting any extra sleep, then spent the day waddling around on aching quads, trying not to stay sitting so they wouldn't cramp up.

After three days of low-carbin' it I have gained a half a pound which just goes to show there is no resistance to the bloatational power of PMS. On the bright side, pre-planning my week of eating has worked out really well because I don't need to think at all. I even went so far as to print out the plan and post the hardcopy on the fridge. This all seems really obvious now =). Also a friend told me that her boyfriend dropped 30lbs just by cutting out diet soda. I suppose if you drink artificial sweetener you might be keeping your insulin levels elevated.

I got Jon Benson/Jan Hauser's new e-book which is pretty interesting. Maybe I'll give it a try in 19 and a half weeks. I particularly enjoyed the photo examples of how to measure food portions with your hands, that cracked me up.
