I love how any of us can rationalize eating almost anything.  “I walked 2 miles today so I deserve the largest burger on the menu”.  “I took the stairs so I’m going to eat a 24oz milkshake”.  lol  You know we all do it.  I’ve been doing it lately too.  Ever since I started to workout at ASI on Patewood, I’ve not done a great job of counting calories.  I’m SUPPOSED to be eating around 1800 per day.  I’m probably eating closer to 2500 per day!  BAD BAD BAD!  My last few workouts at ASI have been killer.  I’ve averaged over 700 calories per workout and recently I broke the all time calorie record that I set the week before.  I hit 850 calories burned the other morning within an hour!  It’s pretty cool when the doctors and trainers brag about you!  Yet, its not reason enough to over eat every day.  I’m not gaining weight, but I’m not losing any.  I’d like to drop 7 more pounds before the end of the summer.  This is where losing weight gets more difficult.  It’s easier when you got more to drop, but now your body tends to hang onto these pounds for some reason.  Oh yeah, throw in the fact that my house has all sorts of snack foods because my wife is pregnant!  I’m not helping the situation when I eat more than I should.  It’s a challenge….I know I’m not alone in this.
