Bad days
I usually have good days, where I workout and eat clean without any problems. Then there are other days, especially when I get stressed, that I return to old habits and eat everything in site; more chocolate the better. I really hate these days and wish I could just overcome this and turn to something else instead of food. I would love to have a hard, well defined body someday and compete so I guess I really need to focus on that and hit the gym instead of the food.

You are doing great. Don’t neat yourself up for what you aren’t able to accomplish yet, or aren’t doing well. Celebrate your accomplishments. A positive attitude will help take you beyond those goals you have set for yourself. Enjoy your journey.

I know the feeling it is so easy just to give in to old habits. But if you can just force yourself to workout on those stressful days the payoff is fantastic. Not only did you not give in and then feel guilty about it. Most of time you train even harder and the stress just goes away. Just think we never say gee I wish I hadn’t worked out today. But how often do we say I sure wish I hadn’t eaten all that junk.
Take care and train hard you body and mind will thank you for it. Keith

Nutrition is my hardest part as well. It is hard to stay on track. I have trouble b/c my son likes his snacks and chips as does my fiance so we keep them around the house which I think makes it harder to stay away from when I see it. If my fiance brings in food I know I can’t stay away from I tell him to hide it. Haha. I know that sounds funny but he does. Mostly it’s chocolate things he hides, I LOVE chocolate! He gets it out for my son and him once in awhile and I still have no idea where he keeps some sweets, I don’t search for them either. This has helped me alittle bit b/c if I can see it it’s harder to not eat, especially when I am stressed!
