Day 179 of 103in365 *Round 3* 40/103

Hey There!

I gained back 3 lbs this week. (sad trombone)

My eating was not the best this week, to put it mildly. This was the primary malfunction as I performed several workouts and did some extra walking too. It was just portion sizes and eating too late.

This is not news for most people, but I was just reading that 75% of weight-loss is about diet and the remaining 25% is exercise, I have heard different percentages in the past, but the point remains the same. If you reduce what you put into your mouth, and/or eat healthier and better foods and live on more calories than you eat, you will lose weight. Burn calories and build lean muscle through exercise too, but make sure you aren't talking yourself into those donuts or that cheeseburger because you "earned it." What you put into your mouth, or don't put into your mouth as it were, is the most important thing.

Intellectually I know this, and at the same time, I did not become 325 lbs because my default diet and diet tendencies are not riddled with issues. I will get there one day soon, and until then, I continue to fight the good fight which has its good weeks and its bad weeks. As long as the good weeks vastly out number the bad, I will end up on top!

Have a great week and don't forget to live on more calories than you eat!

Steve
