"Ok," he said, and off he went, and the man sitting across the table leaned over and said, "Primal?!" and I smiled and said yes.

I love this!

Welcome, Katja. Happy to see positive people here, always. I'm already inspired and wowed by you.

Baby steps are good, and starting small is good.

On the adaption side - I had given weight training a whirl a couple of times before, and always gave up because of the subsequent fatigue and muscle soreness. I never gave it enough time. This time around I decided that I was sticking to it no matter what, and I did. If you're super sore the next day, go out and move a little bit to take the edge off, but nothing really strenuous.

Good advice. I am committed to at least 66 days, 5 exercises 2 days a week. Arbitrary numbers, those...but that's my plan.

Also, take a look at stumptuous.com if you're not already familiar with it - lots of great video and instructions for basic body weight exercises, especially for women. I like the Less Thinking, More Doing Starter Program.
