Workingout? No Problem! Portion control?

Since I was a tennis player at Middle school and at College in Japan (I was not a super star...though) I had no problem going back to "intense workout" routine.

It was very challenging for me to workout by myself at the gym but once I found the best workout (Turbo) I had NO PROBLEM taking classes and doing it at home.

I even got trained to be an instructor...but my weight stayed at 175-180 for 1 year.

The reason was that I was working out hard but I was eating A LOT.
I was watching "what to eat" but I was not watching "how much" and "how often" I ate.

I knew I had to eat 5-6 meals but I stopped tracking my diet because I thought I would lose weight no mater how much I ate because I was working out well and I was eating healthy food.


NOT

That was totally wrong.
I was just maintaining my weight ....Plus storing excess "healthy food" as a fat.

So first thing I tried to fix is to cut my "regular" portion into half.
Save half and ate it 2hr later.

It was tough first day but I know I could eat the half in 2 hours.
I did not eliminate anything but did my best to cut the portion...

In addition to this I purchased Body Bugg to track my workout and diet.

Yes I went back to the basic

How much I burn > How much I put into my mouth =Weight loss
