Hrm.

So I've been starch-and-sugar-free for 3 weeks and I've lost all of 5 lbs. Well, I guess that's not bad. I missed my Friday workout because I was too busy being interviewed on TV and stuff, but I ran yesterday - week 4! 5 minute running stretches! - and I seem to recall managing my pushups on Friday too. I am going to do a garage workout today, I think - and ride my bike up there for extra fun.

I'm still amazed at how well the running is going. I can DO it! I have never, ever been a runner, and I am resorting to it out of desperation - but I am pleasantly surprised that it's not been horrible or uncomfortable or anything. I feel good at the end of a run, and while my legs do protest on the last leg, it's not unbearable.

But I would like to see a little more weight loss. Just cause. I'm going to do a 2-week super-low-carb stint just to kick-start the weight loss. It's not actually that hard, at this time of year... there are no tomatoes, no fruit except apples and pears, and the only carberific stuff around is yogurt, milk, carrots, rutabagas, beets... I can avoid those for a couple weeks. Lots of kale and cabbage and greenery!
