Day 7

A recap after the first week.  The food has not been difficult at all.  Wine has been what I miss most, but after my headache Saturday morning I wasn't really craving it too much last night.  The one glass a night option helps to keep me off the edge.

Rona & I climbing the rope on Friday.

The most noticeable result is that I feel leaner.  My energy level has been relatively unchanged although I've been a little more on edge at work.  That could be related to work stress as well as diet change.

My main goal is to get my legs healthy.  Let my friend Laura down today for a long run... UGH!  I took a rest day Thursday and then another one today due to tightness in my right Quad.  It's back to training as normal tomorrow.
