Since my last competition, I have been struggling with my diet. I ate any and everything that my heart desired. You name it I ate it. And I ate a lot of it. And it was good! With each week that passed, I told myself that I would get it together and that I could not cheat any more. But, I failed. Frustrated, I could not figure out why I could not stick to my diet. I kept saying to myself, "I did it before, so what is the problem now?" Then I realized that it is simply a challenge of the mind. I needed to get my mind back into the game. I have been nervous about my weight gain and I had not stepped on a scale since before my last competition. Well, I got on the scale today and I only gained 7 lbs.! So even though I have been eating some really bad stuff, my hard work in the gym has kept my weight gain to a minimum. And today, for the first time since my last competition, I was able to stick to my diet. No cheating! All I needed to do was get my mind in the game again. I'm baaaaaack!
