When people tend to think of eating healthy, they call it a diet. I am calling it an eating program, because I want it to last. I want it to become a habit.
When trying to lose weight, I have been told that 80% of it is diet and 20% of it is exercise. The last few months I have been exercising 5-6 times per week and haven't lost any weight, may even had gained a pound or FEW. But my diet wasn't where it should have been.
This week I started a new eating plan. It isn't anything ground breaking or anything, but it is simple and pure. Eggs and oatmeal in the morning, fruit as mid-morning snack, Chicken breast and salad for lunch, fruit as afternoon snack and then a protein, veggies and maybe a little brown rice... and a whole lot of water... In 3 days I have lost 7.5 pounds, and while I know it is mostly water weight, it is nice to see the scale doing down.
And it should also be noted that in the 3 days, I haven't been able to work out due to a back injury I sustained while working out last week. I have lost more weight this week by not working out and eating better than I have by working out and not eating well. So moral of this story is to watch what you eat, is definitely more important than working out... When trying to lose weight.
The back is getting better everyday. Not back to 100% yet. I may wait until the weekend or even next week before getting back on the triathlon training.
