JAN 27, 2003:
After six months of trying various diets went through lots of errors, gained muscle, fat and strength.
GOALS FROM TODAY:
*Find the right balance of nutrients for my body.
*To be consistent in my eating plan.
*Gain more strength.
*Have lots of energy through out the day & for my active lifestyle and work. (personal trainer & yoga instructor).
*Make peace with my eating plan and be satisfied with my meal choices.
*Find permenant solutions for following bodybuilding lifestyle & still able to travel, socialize and have fun with friends.
*Learn more & more about bodybuilding nutrition.
New phase of learning and a fresh start.
All the products in my diet are organic and unsweetened.
My previous diets have taught me, not to go low on calories, it backfires and I get so hungry that I overeat.
I finally found an alternative from whey to bake and make pancakes and crepes with (PURE SOYA ISOLATE), it really fills me up also have started having unsweetened coconut (MCT), which does make me more energized.
great day today, feel grounded with my plan after a long time.

Queen...I'm glad your starting a new journal...I said I would PM you but I'll enetr my comments here:
"Focus on eating and training for the health benefits. Think about what you're doing and how it is making you healthier regardless of what the scale or mirror portrays. You are becomming healthier. That should be the focus. Don't eliminate categories of foods...don't think of your eating as a diet...and most of all....come to terms that we all have different body types and that's what makes us all unique. Our bodies need food and if we restrict ourselves too much...our bodies are smart and sooner or later it will catch up to us...we OVEREAT"
I hope this helps. You may also want to dress less revealing...ie. avoiding the skimpy workout gear and limit time spent in front of a mirror. You can achieve balance...just focus on how you feel....treat the food you eat as fuel for your body. Your body needs all kinds of foods...protein, carbs, fats, and a treat now and then.
You can do it....good luck...I'm going to be a regular here in your journal so do me proud

I am eating clean and six meals, I am keeping my diet same till April, as work and life is getting very busy, and to keep things simple on this end eating the same will help me focus on other things in my life.
This is mostly what I am following, we still visit the forum, but wouldn't post consistenly.
Cheers
