When Logic Fails

I have been working out/exercising every day now for 26 days.  I haven’t lost any weight and I finally have figured out why.  I haven’t been eating enough.  I know that sounds crazy doesn’t it.  But when you exercise everyday and you don’t give your body enough of the right stuff, it holds on to everything you do give it.  I was really frustrated the other day and forced myself to sit and think about what was going on and what the problem was or could be.  I haven’t been counting my points or keeping track of my food.  I also know that I haven’t been eating bad.

I now have the exercising down.  It’s like a drug for me and I am addicted to it and the way I feel.  I have so much more energy and just feel better overall.  I have started to branch out and vary my exercising.  I have to put in a plug for my Wii Fit.  I know there are lots of you out there who love the Wii Fit and I am a believer.  I love the work out I can get a pretty good one–I try to get to the gym 5 days a week and then use the Wii Fit on the weekends.

Now that I have the exercising down and know that I will be able to do it everyday for the next 11 months, I have to focus on my food.  So I will get back to tracking my food and making sure that I am eating what I should and how much of it as I should.  Exercise really isn’t enough–it is only part of the issue.

Now I will tackle food.  Have I ever told you all how much I love food?  But it is a love/hate relationship.  I love food, but because I have the tendancy to over eat I try to stay away from it and keep it simple.  But simple has lead me to eat too little and forget some of the basic tenants of being healthy.

Oh the road that never ends.

  1. When I was working out this summer I was gaining weight (and it wasn’t nuscle). I figured out it was because I was eating like twice as much. I was always starving, and still eating the same old crap (cause I LOVE it). Very frustrating. At least you get to eat more 🙂 If you find food that is delicious and healthy please let me know, as I really only like things deep fried or cheesecaky 🙂
