Weight loss: 15lbs
Mood: tired, depressed and lonely

I am not having a good day so far. I stepped on the scale and found that I have gone up to 15lbs lost. I am sure some of it is water weight from the weekend, but not all of it. I have gained in the last week, which makes me sad.

It is the last day of my March Regime and I intend to make it a good one. I have surpassed my goal of 85% success with my exercise so I will be able to justlify buying a little something for myself. I am going to wait a little longer though to see how the job stuff turns out. That will determine whether I will be buying workout clothes or just work clothes (both of which I would enjoy buying) - only a few things though since I will eventually be too big for them too, right?

I am starting to figure out my plan for April - similar to the March Regime in terms of exercise but I still haven't figured out what I am going to do with my calories. I need to break this plateau before my spirits fail completely. I am going to do my best, knowing that even if I am not losing weight, I am still doing something good for myself by eating properly and getting regular exercise in. I can already feel that my stamina for walking/running, etc has increased significantly. When the ice goes away I should have no problem starting the couch to 5k program I was talking about a few months ago. I am excited about that. I am also excited for the scenery to be pretty again (right now it is covered in grey slush/snow) so I can take some picture walks around the neighbourhood again. I enjoy those.

I am off to do some research about plateaus and how to break them. Perhaps I will learn something new, something that will help me.
