There have been several times during my weight loss journey that I have fallen off of the good nutrition wagon. I felt that if I was exercising enough what I was eating didn't matter. I always try to make it a point to eat fairly clean and healthy but I do have a major problem with portion control. I have learned the hard way that what you put into your body affects the scale more than the activity you are doing in the gym. I could go workout for 2 hours only to come home and have a protein shake, fruit, and maybe a snack with my son and gain back all of the calories I just worked so hard to burn.
I have now begun to realize that I have to track how many calories I take in each day as well as how many I burn in a workout to be successful. I tried being more laid back because I felt slightly OCD writing down every thing I eat but this is how I can manage my weight and prevent future weight gain.
Even though the point of my posts is to try new workouts I will also focus on nutrition and the importance of what goes into my body.
