I can not tell you how difficult it has been to make so many life changes to achieve the ultimate physique. I have totally altered the way that I eat. Notice that I didn’t say that I have put myself on a diet. I purposefully changed the things that I allow in my day to day menu. I do my best to eat simple things – natural foods. I then stuff down about a bowl full of supplements to help round things out as well as taking protein supplements (new whey rocks!).
I also altered my work out routine. I went from no work out routine to 3 hours a day 6 days a week. With these changes I have been able to see great results.
Having altered my menu and my physical fitness I now find myself struggling with one last factor. How does one kick the mental habit of being lazy? I have been pretty lazy with health concepts for 30 years. I find that I lapse on my eating habits here and there. When my food intake is steadily healthy I find that my work out habits start to falter. While I want very much to get in shape my mind goes fuzzy from time to time. I so frequently read articles that state that in order to be able to maintain a change to your menu that you need to allow for “cheat days”. Cheat days to my mind is a huge relief! But each time I lose 10lbs and then have a cheat day I find myself almost right back where I started.
Kicking the mental fuzziness is my last obstacle. No cheating. No excuses for not working out according to schedule.
Wish me luck!
