Weight loss: 19.5lbs
Mood: honest
I have not posted here in quite some time and for that I am sorry. The reason I haven't been regularly posting here is because I have been ashamed (again) - I have been misbehaving slightly. Not enough to have gained any weight but I have not yet broken through this stupid plateau. It is just so frustrating and hard to keep going when you see almost no progress whatsoever.
I have decided to take an unofficial break - not a break from eating properly or exercising regularly, just a break from logging. I know what you are thinking, Stephanie not using her spreadhseets- that's crazy talk! But honestly, I need to view this as more of a lifestyle than a regime (or diet or whatever) and logging won't get me that viewpoint. Until I move into the new house I think I am just going to 'eat right' and exercise reguarly and I will see what happens. I know what I eat on a regular basis so if something positive (or negative) happens I will know how to repeat (or not repeat) it - so I don't think that will be a problem.
In terms of exercise, I have gotten my bike out and have started biking around Ottawa getting photographs. My first bike ride for photos took me on a 2 hour bike ride down the canal and around. I was tired but rather impressed with myself that I had made it that far. The aspect of getting photos (which I love) out of the bike ride makes me go a little further because I see something in the distance that I want a picture of - great combination I think. I am also still using my elliptical machine but not really making great use of the weights of tapes I have. Hopefully I will be able to get myself back into the weights and floor workouts soon, though I have a feeling the tapes will stay away until the cold weather comes back.
Sorry that this post has been sort of mish-mash like and not very well phrased - I am just trying to type as I think and I am not thinking very coherently today. Anyway, I am going to try and post more regularly on here again and would like everyone to visit my other blogs and my DeviantArt site as I am very regular on those sites (particularly my photography blog and my DeviantArt site).
