Week 30: Back On Track

I think I am back on track with my weight loss. I mentioned previously that I thought I had hit a set point and I thought that was the reason why I stopped losing weight. But in hindsight, I think I was just eating more than I was burning. Weight loss 101... if you eat more than your burn, you will gain weight. It doesn't get more complicated than that.

So I am back to tracking my intake and burn and making sure that I keep my intake slightly below my burn so that I lose a little weight each week. I am in no hurry to get to my weight goal. I want to do it in a healthy way. But I also want to keep making progress.

This upcoming weekend is my next milestone race. So I am not going to worry too much this week about trying to lose weight. Instead, I am going to focus on eating a high carbohydrate diet so that my body is fueled up for the race. Then I will resume my weight loss focus next week.

What do you do to carbo-load before a race?
