I seem to have plateau-ed around 205. Admittedly my eating habits could be better, although they have improved over where they were from like a year ago. I've actually grown to like eating mushrooms and onions (still a bit on the fence on tomatoes though and I still haven't tackled olives). Although I'm still weary of the slimy canned pizza mushrooms, but fresh stuff I'm totally down with. All thanks to real ramen noodles. And I've been doing pretty good at not eating tons and tons of bread and cereal. Wheat products are a bane to my dietary existence. One of the issues is that I live with 3 other people and it's not like a family where we all sit down for breakfast and dinner and all that jazz. Two couples and we, for the most part buy, for ourselves and our fridge and cupboard get full rather quick. I don't like going out to eat all the time, as it's usually less expensive just to cook at home, but there are usually left overs.
Several months ago my cardiologist suggest I start using the 5BX (or the Royal Canadian Air force Exercise) regiment. It's rather simple and I really like it. But I've just gotten off the horse of doing it though. No real reason why, just missed a few days and just kept on missing. Whenever I actually do it though, I feel so great. Damn internet sucking me in when I should be exercising. And my cardiologist even told me that I really don't need to go beyond the first chart. When we talked he talked about how people tend to self defeat themselves with "I got to take an hour out of my day to do this" but a better way of thinking, at least at the start, is "How little do I think of my health that I can't even do two minutes of exercise?" and after two minutes, it's not hard to do two more and then two more. And by then you're almost done with the 5BX for the day so why not finish it off.
I'm partly ranting for my self, trying to pump myself up to do it. I meant to work out before work but I also meant to do that yesterday too. But tonight! Tonight's the night.
