Looks like I'm at another plateau. It would be nice to lose more weight, but at 5'7" I'm fine with this weight. Once I get the excess skin removed I know I will look great, because I workout and have been for the past 3 years.
Although, I want to workout more than I do. I would like to do 5 workouts a week, but right now I'm only doing about 4 and they're not as intense as I'd like. And some days I'm really sedentary because of my desk job, so I really need to get my workouts in and be highly active on the days that I don't workout.
My biceps are very muscular, so I don't want to do any more weightlifting at this time. I would like to continue with running - improving my performance and doing races - and yoga/body weight exercises for strength and flexibility, as well as continuing to stretch with every workout.
My focus right now is mostly on my eating (IF, modified Paleo, organic whole food, listening to my body's level of hunger/fullness/thirst, eating slowly and small bites, etc.) and my activity and workouts (a balanced, consistent exercise plan that includes strength, cardio, and flexibility, and being active as much as possible).
I already walk as much as I can - for local appointments and errands - and I always take the stairs (never the elevator), but I'm thinking that I can do more, like park at the far end of parking lots instead of searching for the closest spot (out of habit and the convenience of parking close). I think this would be easy to do and a good habit to have.
I can also, of course, take more breaks from the computer when I'm working, by getting up and walking (and doing things) around the house, or going for a walk around the block. That would make a difference in my activity and stress levels. But, honestly, I feel kind of lazy, because I like using the computer, watching movies, reading, and I try to do things as efficiently as possible to reduce the amount of work it takes. But, fortunately, I have a lot of motivation to workout and stick to healthy eating.
Making sure I relax or meditate daily (preferably both) is definitely a good thing to do too.
Maybe these ideas will help some of you too :)
