A quick hello from the East Coast

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to write a quick hello from Halifax to let you know how I am doing.

On Thursday morning I definitely did not workout because I was so tired. We had a very long drive (13 hours or so) and we went to bed late again. The next morning though I got my walking gear on and took about a 1.5-2 hour walk around Citadel Hill and downtown Hali. If you're not familiar with it, it is all hilly like Westmount, but steeper. It was a nice, warm morning.

We then headed out later to Peggy's Cove for a quick visit (it's really beautiful) and a nearby island where a family friend lives. They are artists and have an amazing farm-like home with a studio as well. We walked out to some massive rocks on the ocean and Peggy (yes, her name is Peggy too) picked some stuff out of the forest to cook for dinner (mushrooms, fiddleheads) and even our desert was a wild rhubarb crumble mmmmmmmmm.

Food wise I have been being as careful as I can manage to be. Still trying to eat lots of fruit and veggies and less meat and bread, etc. I have been managing quite well (I overdid it a little at Peggy's but the rest of the day was careful because I knew I would).

Today is the graduation, so we are going out for lunch, then grad, then a booze cruise, then a party. We depart at 6-7 am tomorrow back to Montreal, to try to make it back in time for the game.

So overall, not much room for exercise aside from my walk (I did do some pushups, crunches and the plank in my brother's bathroom hahha). But hopefully my eating wont have me gaining any weight by the time I am home and I can get back out of this plateau. I am really sick of 162.5-165... I want 160 NOW!

Talk to you soon!
