Staying Positive

It's amazing how much of an effect your state of mind plays in achieving goals.  I haven't been doing much posting lately, simply because I've not felt like it.  I haven't been able to achieve my next weight loss goal, and have simply been hovering around the same weight.  I've also been finding it extremely hard to eat properly, and I've found non-primal food sneaking into my diet once again.

So, it's time for a change of tactics.  I've decided to discontinue keeping track of my weight and body fat percentage.  I'll still keep an eye on things, via WiiFit, but I'll only be checking for weight loss, I won't be keeping tabs on my exact weight.  The theory is that it'll be one less thing to worry about, making it easier to stay on track.

I'm also going to be focussing more on all the great food I can eat, rather than the food I can't eat.  This last week has been something of an eye opener in that regard.  I'd been craving simple things like bread over the last couple of weeks, and it eventually became too much, so I decided to look for primal alternatives.

It's amazing the number of primal recipes out there on the Internet.  I've managed to find what I hope will be a good Primal bread, and my girlfriend has been finding the most amazing recipes as well.  This week we started to sample them, and it's simply amazing how good some of these recipes are.

As a result, I've decided that I need to blog more about what it is that we're eating.  This gives me a good excuse to try new recipes, so that I've got something new to write about.  Also, I hope it will mean that I'll not struggle with trying to eat the right things, as there will always be something new to try.

In hindsight, I think that's been part of my problem lately.  We found some nice recipes, and they became favourites.  Unfortunately, even the nicest meal will tend to lose its appeal when you're eating it for the third or fourth week in a row.  Here's to variety, the spice of life...
