Weigh-in Day! Weight today: 120 (and in case we forgot... weight last week: 120)
Yeah, like I said before, I have totally plateaued and haven't gained or lost any weight since that first week. It's cool though. I know that I am not overweight so it will be harder and slower for my body to lose any. Plus, I am probably gaining muscle at the same time. I'm sure once I start running an insane amount of miles every week I'll see some changes in my body.
I don't feel too sore today really. Which is... good? Or maybe I'm not pushing myself enough. Going to do my recovery by walking to the store and back with Stuart which is just over 2 miles round trip, and then doing some yoga tonight. Hopefully Stuart will do it with me.
Food:
10am - 1 piece multigrain toast w/ butter, scrambled eggs + smoked salmon, 2 cups coffee
Exercise:
11am - Walked to and from store in Holetown in the blistering midday heat, 1hr, 2miles
4.30pm - 30min dog walk

I've been reading a lot online about exercise plateaus, and it seems that what I'm experiencing is normal, for many reasons. Firstly, as we get into better shape and don't change our routines, our body obviously gets used to it and doesn't need to expend as many calories to complete the regime. Secondly, Just cardio isn't enough. Everything online I'm reading seems to point to doing more weight training. Yoga can definitely achieve this if one chooses the right routine, and I'm going to do a tough one tonight.
POWER YOGA MUAHAHAHA... here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
...I remember this routine kicking my ass before, I think I reached the 25 minute mark and had to stop because I was exhausted. Here's hoping I can do better today. And I'll even try to get Stuart to do it with me.
