Keep on Keeping on!!

I think one of the hardest things in this whole weightloss journey is to just keep going. It seems so simple, yet it is the hardest thing to do and which is why there is such a high number of overweight people in the United States. If we could only become discipline enough then we wouldn't have this problem.

Anyway, I just wanted to encourage you to keep on keeping on! You owe it to yourself, and only getting past our laziness can we make gains. It is so easy to get complacent and say "well, I will eat this bad thing just today." But it's those decisions that keep us from our goals. I of course am very guilty of all of this which is why I need to remind myself all the time, and so I figured I would remind you as well.

75% Food In Take, 25% Gym workout

75% of weight loss gains have to do with what you eat. That stupid cliche of a saying "you are what you eat" is surprising pretty true. While going to the gym and exercising is essential to your body's health, you must also watch what you eat. If you work out hard and yet eat like crap, then you will make no gains. This is something that I have found to be true of myself. I have started to eat very good again and now I am starting to see the gains. It's amazing what happens when you stay true to your eating habits. Stick with it! You owe it to yourself!
