Well, I have to say that it has been a long time since I posted on building a healthy body. I started this back in June of this year. I started out at 188 pounds. The lowest weight that I have gotten to has been 177 pounds or so.
Needless to say I have fallen off the wagon so to speak. I have hit the weight of 188 pounds again. I started to eat as I have always and the weight just came back on. I even went about 4 weeks with very little weight training.
Even though my weight has gotten back up to 188 pounds, I still have more muscle mass than when I started out. I do not have quit as much fat as I did when I started, but I am definitely way over weight. My waist at the navel is back up to 43 inches.
The weight training has not really been the problem for me here. It is the amount of food, and the quality of the food that I have major trouble with. I do have and always have had a very large sweet tooth. Carbohydrates are my undoing. Especially the empty sugar loaded ones.
Getting one’s mind right has proven to be my downfall. So I realized that I have to take a harder look at the way I think of this. Before, cheating with food would be justified by it is only today. I will not cheat tomorrow. The main problem with thinking like that was tomorrow never came. I was not holding myself to a high enough standard.
I was letting my mind tell me it was OK to eat things that I know was not healthy to eat. Like I have written in this blog before, run your own mind, do not let it run you. My own wrong thinking bit me. Following my minds wants instead of commanding my own mind; I was letting it justify my eating.
I will now go at this want to build a healthy body with a new way of thinking. I will hold myself to a higher standard than I had been. I have to look at the fact that it is not OK to let myself eat anything I want to.
I have to have that burning desire to look a curtain way other than I do now. The desire has to be stronger than the want to eat something that keeps me from my goal. For me, I must stay strict in my actions, I am better than the fat a@@ that I have aloud to stay around for too long.
Time to take control and like what I see in the mirror. You may notice also that with the blog title, I did not state a day. This way of life for me has to be for every day, not just day number something.
