Week 2: Lost

Last week was a wash.  My weight was up, I think, this AM.  But between the EXTREME soreness from that Firm workout (BTW, it was the 2nd one on this DVD and it kicked my BOOTIE, not sure why -- but it did).  Then, I am 98% sure I caused a bleeding ulcer from my ibuprofen taken from being so sore, I felt pretty yuck through Friday and made do on Saturday.  I felt it a little tomorrow, but I don't think I'm bleeding anymore -- so that's a high note.  Needless to say, I doubt my body was wanting to shed lots of weight during this time.  So, I'm just back on track today, hoping that I can keep losing weight.

So, here are my questions for you:
1.  Eat the calories I use in exercise, or don't eat the calories.  That is the question.  Last week I didn't eat them, but I was also a mess... so I think I'll try and eat 1/2'ish of them this week and see how it goes now....
2.  Ever get constipated on a low carb diet?  I added in some popcorn this weekend and wow.  Better then a fiber pill.  Feeling much better, thanks so much for asking.  I think I'll allow popcorn within my calorie counts 3 times this week.  I know it's a carb... my apologies.
3.  What to do with the soreness?  Am I just working out too hard?  I KNEW the last workout was crazy hard, but I powered through and I paid the price all week.  Worth it?  Anything I can take (obviously besides nsaids or ibuprofen... that's pretty well out for a while).

Now, it's time to answer.
You.
