I've Hit A New Low

Confession time.  I haven't been working out.  For two weeks I haven't been on the treadmill or on the weights.  However, I have continued to limit my caloric intake to less than 2,000 per day.  In fact, it's closer to 1,500 calories a day.  So anyhow, I was stuck on a weight plateau between 218-216 and without any exercising going on, I didn't expect to lose any weight, I just didn't want to gain any.  I'm looking forward to spring and climing mountains and stuff like that.

Well, yesterday I got on the scales and I was 214.8 lbs.  This morning I was at the same weight.  That's cool.  In fact, I don't remember the last time I was under 215 lbs.  It may have been after a 35 day fast on nothing but water.  At that time I lost down to about 186 lbs, but obviously I gained it all back and more in a short time.

I plan to get back into the swing of things with my exercise, but I've found that eating a healthy diet with limited calories isn't as hard as we think it will be.  I eat very little bread, a lot of fish, no dessert, and lots of steamed veggies, fruit, and nuts. 

Frankly, I just got bored with the treadmill.  I plan to get a recumbent exercise bike and when the weather gets better I may try to start riding a bike.  Bike riding is popular in this area and there's a park with bike trails only a mile and half from my house.
