Weight loss and perseverance

Ugh! I woke up today with a sinus bug starting.

I immediately suspended the caloric reduction and went back to equal calorie intake vs. burn.

This is an important part of my weight loss plan, never let your body be deprived of the nutrition and the nutrients it needs.

Going back to even for a while to give my body what it needs to fight the bug is the only smart thing to do. It just delays the continued weight loss for a short time while my body fights the bug with all the ammunition it needs.

I learned the hard way a long time ago not to try to push restricted caloric intake while sick. It just results in a more aggressive infection that is harder to fight. I once tried 35 years ago to power through and ended up in the hospital for a week. It was a bad choice, and I was a lot younger then.

Battling a bug is kinda like war, never let the front lines fall short of the supplies they require to win the fight.

Hopefully, in a few days I will be back on track.
