Net Loss/Gain:         + 0.2 lbs

This is my daily weight chart since ending the Slow-Carb diet. July 9 was the 1st measurement for Phase 1 for the 6 week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle.

This is Day 43 post-Slow-Carb, Day 3 of Phase 1 from The 6-week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle, which lasts 14 days.

I woke up feeling a little sore in my thighs and lower-back/gluts the morning after my first kettle-bell exercise class. I guess I expected that. It isn't a bad feeling, just sobering to think how out-of-shape I am, and looking forward to fixing that, a bit.

Other than that, I can only report that 3 shakes and a meal every day leaves me more than satisfied - I only experienced hunger today when dinner couldn't be had within 4 hours of lunch. Glad to say, there are no cravings at all. 


Also, note that this is my third no-coffee day, also with no detectable ill effects (although I will admit to looking wistfully at my coffee making equipment at home and at work).
