Shortly after posting last time, I hurt my back carrying my six yo son. Took me a week to be able to walk again, and two weeks to start exercising properly. The lack of exercise, or ... http://www.fitness-notes.com/30/back-on-track-i-hope.html Yes, I am back on my weight loss program too! It's been five weeks since my last post. I took some time off the main weight loss effort during most of that time. I didn't binge on anything, but I didn't stick to my IR diet as religiously as before. ... http://www.fitness-notes.com/29/back-to-blogging-and-that-means.html It's official weigh-in day today, so I am logging in the results. Only half a pound down from last week and I am now at 91.9kg or 202.5 lbs. I shouldn't complain really, considering I didn't exercise this week. With my bad knee, I didn't run or walk, and that ... http://www.fitness-notes.com/27/not-even-updating-my-ticker-this-week.html Title has a nice ring to it. Well, not really. Feeling down today, fourth day in a row without running. Combined with hitting a plateau with the weight loss last week, I am not very pleased with the way things are going. Sigh. My knee really hurts. On top of everything ... http://www.fitness-notes.com/26/recap-on-my-kneecap.html Know what really made my day today? I went out running.

Not sure why, but I'm a bit restless about it, impatient if you like, wanting to be another ... http://www.fitness-notes.com/23/weekly-report-just-over-2lbs-down.html Technically speaking, I lost about a pound and a half by my Friday weigh-in results. I guess that doesn't really count as a plateau per se, but for some reason it feels like it. Maybe because I got lucky on that day, the weight was low, but days before that, ... http://www.fitness-notes.com/22/feels-like-a-plateau.html This is not getting easier though, sigh. I am having some cravings today, going around the house with chocolate on my mind. I haven't touched any in 3 months, I think. We had this gourmet chocolate bar at home, and everyone had some except me. We went to a birthday ... http://www.fitness-notes.com/21/pushing-on-another-3-pounds-lost.html Great news this week - my last Cortisol test came back just fine. Not very low, but well within the normal range, so that's good.
