Day Four - When the Going Gets Tough...

you get tougher! There are days where you may feel like you've failed. Today I had a moment of feeling like I just totally blew my diet and felt the need to work my butt off at the gym - I worked out twice as hard and added 20 lbs to every lift. I got home to log my food and found out not only had I NOT gone over my calories, but I was UNDER my calories and I pushed myself into the bracket of being 1000 calories below the amount I needed with the additional workout time. So I suppose since I'm going out with friends tomorrow night, I'll use these extra points in my "bank," except that your body doesn't really work like that, even though I wish it did. It's one thing to eat your calories and go a bit over, but to be significantly under has a tremendous effect on your metabolism and your weight loss for the week. Consistency is key. I know this is another short blog, but it's late...
