You Can't Out-Train a Bad Diet

You cannot out-train a bad diet. This past week proves it.

The exercise

• About 40 kilometres of yogging
• 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups every day
• A weight training session pumping iron

I've exercised more this week than I have in a long time, and I've been eating a primarily plant-based diet.

The food

But between pizza and, even worse, four dinners out where I indulged more than I should have, it caught up with me.

The result

Last week 189.8. This week up a pound, to about 190.8. You can't out-train a bad diet.
