Day 13 on Friday the 13th. I'm finding my groove now. The diet is giving me so much energy. It wasn't so long ago I was napping on my sofa most days because I'd have a huge crash in the afternoon. Usually lunch was some eggs with one of the kids muesli bars or a cookie as a desert. I think this sugar was causing the crash. Eliminating refined sugar is really quite magical. It takes a few days for the body to adjust, but when it does things are infinately better. I train harder, I sleep better, my mood is better, I lose weight - I'm struggling to think of a single nagative. I tweaked my knee somehow over the last few days. I think it was probably from the 20 minutes of basketball I played on Monday. At any rate, I have a knee thats teling me to slow down. As much as I hate to listen to this voice, I know now that trying to train through even minor injuries at 51 is a recipe for turning the minor into a 3 - 4 week enforced time off training. I just walked today. I got 14k steps done and a few dips in the pool to try and reduce the inflammation. I know my diet is good enough to still lose weight on a walking only day and besides I'm on a marathon with this, not a sprint. Its all good.
