I began 8k training last night. We have 4 scheduled runs a week, plus cross-training and a walk on Sunday. Trying not to think about how to fit everything in, but I know that I have to plan everything out. If I don't keep it all organized, I get off track. So yes, I meal plan and I prepare food in advance so it's there. That helps me stay away from the pizza and pasta.
Progress: I feel stronger. Last night when I went to bed I could feel the muscles in my legs processing - breaking down and building back up. I think. Anyway, I also got one of those nasty, toe-curling calf cramps. Pinching the area in between your nose and upper lip really does work. The cramp dissipated pretty quickly and I didn't have to try to massage it out, which sometimes makes it worse.
Oh and I reweighed this morning and got a different number and not in the right direction. For me, it really is better to weigh myself just once a week. At least then it's usually consistent.

Good job for keeping on track! I'm wicked impressed that you're adding the 8k training into all of this! Are you still doing the 3 gym workouts? or have you cut back?
