But yes, I try to at least have a couple of rest days between weights to let the soreness subside  |
That's great. It's when you're not sore anymore that you know it's time to change your routine. Do you do core training at all. Plank, side plank, swissball exercise? I know they kill at first but it's good for you. Lots of sit ups, push ups (on our knees to start with). Basically all bodyweight exercise. Only gets easier

I'm French. Love my bread and yogurts so I still eat them. I eat about two yogurts a day. They're the Yoplait Forme. They're low on sugar. Only 68cal per tub. Don't eat the SKI brand. 250cal per tub
So I still get my fix. Try to grill or toast your bread. It breaks all the gluten, you digest it faster and it won't register the same calorie count.
