MINOR SET BACK FOR A MAJOR COME BACK!!

As of Feb. 28, 2011 I had accomplished my ultimate health and fitness goal. I have always been a health and fitness guru, but this particular time, I wanted to challenge myself to get into competition shape. That meant decreasing my fat percentile, and disciplining myself to stick to a strict short term competition diet! After sticking to a disciplined gym routine and high protein low fat diet, I accomplished a weight loss of fifteen pounds in six weeks (the old fashion way)! Gym and healthy food intake. I was walking into the local malls and purchasing size four jeans for the first time since high school, and I was certainly on my way to competition shape!! Unfortunately, I became so wrapped in up in my new found success, that I slowly slipped back into my old habits! BIG SIGH!!

Trips to the gym became fewer and trips to local dinning spots became greater! As a matter of fact currently, I haven't cook in three weeks! As of today, I am unsure of exactly how much of the fifteen pounds I have gained back because I am afraid to step on the scale but lets just say those size four jeans I bought, ARE TEMPORARILY NOT FITTING!!

Tomorrow I will begin clean eating once again. Five small meals a day, no sugar, no dining out, no sweets, and no soda or juice for six weeks. This is the regimen I was given by a close friend of mine whom happens to be the head trainer at my local gym. This routine worked wonders in helping me accomplish my fifteen pound weight loss goal back in Feb., so I am confident that it will work again! After losing and regaining all that weight, I know understand what the term "lifestyle change" is referring to. If you return to your old eating habits you will most definitely return to your old weight!! I must admit, I am a little discouraged, but tomorrow, I am back at it! I plan to start my day off with plain oatmeal, and eat every three hours after that. Each main meal will consist of chicken and fish in small portion sizes, and alcoholic beverages will be off my menu for good!!!
