::: I'm back... almost :::

Hello!!! Is there anyone out there??? I was out of things for so long, I'm afraid not too many people come here lately...

Anyway, Joe's holidays are over, and he's back to work. My bro is still here, for the next 2 weeks.

And what have I been doing, you ask? I was almost completely off plan, I'm afraid. Well, my eating wasn't so good, and I gained some 4-5 lbs... I'm not sure about the numbers because my home scale is undependable these days. I'll have to wait till I go back to the gym, where I can weigh myself and see how much damage I've done ;-)).

I'm not feeling so bad about it, but I'd sure want to go back on track again. It feels like I'm going to start a new diet since I was doing so poor for the last 4 weeks. And I need to find my good old motivation again. It felt good to be "bad" for a while, know what I mean? But now, it's time to go "good" again!

I think I'll go back to the gym soon... I miss the machines workout! The cardio I can do on my own since the weather is great (and I was doing it on vacation as well), but the machines... I need those... badly!

Give me some time to organize myself into a new/old plan/lifestyle. It sure is hard to go out of vacation mode again... especially after such a long one *s*.

And then (as Arnold says): I'LL BE BACK!!!

::: I'm back - for a brief update :::

We had a wonderful 9 days camping trip to B.C. We'd visited Vancouver and the Island as well, and also had a short visit to Whistler. The weather was just perfect most of the time, and we had lots of fun... and bad food ;-)) We also managed to have some nice bike riding, though not as much as we planned. All in all, it was a very successful trip! *s*.

9 days outdoors... it's not easy to keep a diet and a workout on track in these conditions, though I thought I was doing not too bad most of the time. Actually, to my surprise, I've gained few pounds. I'm not happy about it, but that's what I have to deal with right now.

It feels so hard to go back to the right routine, though I miss the gym a lot. I need to feel the muscles working on the machines again... but that will have to wait for another few weeks.

My time table to my goal went to hell, of course, so that's why I took it off of the side bar. Have to plan a new one, and see what I'm gonna do for the next few months.

I love being on holidays! I love having my brother here, and Joe off work... and I have to pay a small price for it: having to slow down my journey for a while. That's fine... I don't mind... I'll go back to it later *s*.

That's all for now. Got to go. Will try to update some more in the next few days.
