i think my body is telling me something

So please tell me if anyone else has this dilemma...?

I've been trying to be good with my exercise. Tuesday I did my Jillian Michaels. Wednesday I was a little sore, so I went on a 2 mile walk. Thursday, still a little sore, did an hour long yoga program on my OnDemand, which I must say, kicked my ass!

>>side note>> yoga can be really tough on your wrists and elbows. yikes!

So here I am. STILL SORE. Sore in different places. Sore in some of the same places. Which is good.  

Buuuut, do you work out sore muscles? Are you supposed to work out if you're sore? Or, are you supposed to be taking an off day? I can never remember how this works.

Some websites say don't work out, that your muscles are recovering. Others say its good, and you can get faster, better results if working out when sore.

What are your thoughts?

Woo!

Had a great evening last night, and did pretty good with the diet... except for the 8 beers.

Fail.

And of course today's mild hangover has caused me to fall off the wagon too. Pizza. Pasta. M&M's. Two, count 'em TWO sugared sodas. Dammit.

Double Fail.

So. Tomorrow beings two things.

First off is I'm starting a photo food log. I've been keeping track of my eatings in a handy little notebook, but I read somewhere that its a good idea to take pictures of what you eat. Since you can get a good idea of your portion sizes, and the more "colorful" you food is, the more diverse in vitamins and minerals it tends to be. So I'll start posting that tomorrow! :)

And tomorrow I'll be starting a Leek Soup food fast. About a year ago I read the book French Women Don't Get Fat. I'm sure you've heard of it, and I enjoyed it. The Leek Soup is basically leek broth that you eat for two days. That's it. Leek soup and the occasional leek. I'm curious to see how awful it will be. Not the flavor, but how starving I'll be. I'm not going to do a ton of exercising, other than walking, but I'm going to start doing yoga. Time to get use out of the mat my boyfriend bought me for Christmas. YES!
