The price I pay for slacking for two weeks is terribly sore quads if I even look at them funny in the gym. I don't really lose strength, it's just that they hurt for two days after I use them. It's sort of odd, because karate is very quad-intensive, but it doesn't seem to forestall the soreness. Of course, sore or not, I did my front squats this morning.
Karate last night was fun - I got to learn a few new things, including a whole new kata. I'm still going to go to white belt class tonight - it's not like my basics are so solid that I can just forget about them now - but it's very nice to have some new stuff to think about.
I had a pretty good day yesterday, diet-wise - I went to the store and got plenty of good food, and had healthy meals. It was remarkable how much better I felt in karate, too - by the end of the first hour, I was sweaty, but not really tired.
My weight held even from yesterday to today, which wasn't a huge surprise - I figured I didn't have too much water to shed. Looking forward to getting that train rolling again, though.
