Eight Mile

[tikistitch]

Or actually, nine miles, 'cause that's the distance Naughty Mr. Tikistitch just forced us to run. If you are wanting sexay legs, putting in the miles is one way to do it. tiki's new motto, "Sexay legs or death!" (Though we'll freely admit, around about mile 7, the latter seemed the more realistic probability.)

According to our handy spreadsheet, this is Week 12 of the Diet from Hell, and we've now personally lost 30 lbs, and a total of nearly 60 lbs for the residents of Casa de Tikistitch (which, as we cheerily told Mr. Tiki, is a lot of extra Stitchies we can now cram into the Boxster when we drive back from Dizzyland, to which our spouse emitted a quiet noise that sounded much like a scream).

If you want some alternatives to running, I can send you my personal "slow burn" program. It's a series of exercises you do befoe breakfast that are supposed to boost your metabolism while toning your body. It does work.

But hurray for all the lost pounds. Yes, you'll be able to bring back a lot of extra Stitches on your next trip to th land of Euro Stitch !

Yes please! I must admit, though, I'm a tad skeptical. I've never read about any exercise that really changed metabolism, with the exception of some Olympic-caliber athletes doing quite intense training.

Gus is a marathon runner, so we're actually accustomed to doing slightly crazy things in the name of training.l

If you don't mind me asking, which diet are you following?

I would rather try something that I know people have used and had success with. :)

And tell Mr. Tiki it is a compromise - not only can you fit more Stitchies in the Boxster, but you may be able to fit an R2D2 mailbox ;)

Oh, it's nothing special: basically, we're counting calories plus running at least 30 miles a week. (Mr. Tiki has run something like 20 marathons over the years, so we're used to putting in a gazillions of miles in training, though a lot of trainers evidently think we're nuts.) Oh, and you know before doing something like dieting, you really need to check with your doctor, right?
