Warriors Only

I decided a couple weeks ago I was going to clean up my diet. A friend of mine who competes in figure always laughs at me cause of how I eat. You see, I’m one of those guys that was blessed with a very high metabolism and have always been naturally lean and cut up. Even before sports and working out (training).  As I child I was always the little kid with muscular looking arms and abs like a grown man. Since cuts were never my problem I’ve always been able to eat what I want or like my friend says, "like crap" and not have to worry about not looking lean. Well she always tells me that it will catch up with me by the time I hit my mid 30s so I should try to practice eating before now. She says I might look good now but if I keep up the way I eat I could have a gut by the time I’m 35. That doesn’t sound good at all. So this is what I’ve done. I’ve laid off the junk food during the week. Only treating myself on weekends.  Monday through Friday I won’t be eating any cookies, debbie cakes, bbq potatoe chips, etc. During the week I’ve only been eating real food and drinking water. With the exception of my skittles. I gotta have those purple bag and sour skittles. I just couldn’t give them up. LOL!  Since I committed to this change about 3 weeks ago I’ve dropped 5lbs down to 220.  Its funny though cause my muscles actually look bigger. Everything seems to be popping out more. I’m going to continue with this diet.  I plan on competing in 2010 and I’m going to do what I gotta to look my best out there.  Of course come prep time I guess I won’t be treating myself too much on weekends either.
