How do I undo what has been done?
I stick with my meal plan!
Be consistent over time and I will accumulate Momentum
I am in a "U-turn" of getting back on track with my meals.
Do the work. Make it a priority!
Progress is coming. No worries.

Trust the Process...Build a Bigger Engine
I'm going through the process. Some days not so good. Some days good. I am still not 100% with my food intake. I do pretty good most days and most times, most of the day. Weekends with my boys are not always ideal, actually they down right suck sometimes. (as far as nutrition is concerned).
So I email my mentor. He says to make it a priority. Enlist the help of my boys to help me. (our "normal" routine has been to get pizza and ice cream. and this past weekend was not different). But this past week I have been doing a lot better food wise! I felt stronger this week! So far this week I have done two lower body workouts and one upper body. (I will do one more upper before the week is out). The prior week I had not been feeling as strong so dropped weights a couple workouts. But this week was different! I upped all weights over previous weeks highs. I am now just above my PR for leg extensions at 142.5#! (previous PR=140# back in 2010) It has been 5 years since I've been able to do that weight on leg extensions! I know I am stronger in other movements, but I am unsure of previous PR's.
The point is NOT about the PR's but the fact that I am getting stronger. For the style of training I am doing, that translates to muscle growth to me. I can see it in my delts. Mainly because I have less fat there! LOL. I trust other body parts are growing, I just need to get the fat off! But the more I build my Engine, the more I grow, the more calories I will burn at rest....meaning the fat will come off! I just have to keep trusting the process and Build my Engine...and get my nutrition under control...make it a priority!

Trust the Process!
there's a game today???!? lol. just finished up a lower body pump. Perfect way to start the New Year!
Right now I am really trusting the process. The only noticeable changes I am seeing are the changes in the gym. I am still increasing in either weights or reps. I am close to a PR on leg extension, which is an indication for me on my progress. with a 3x3 cadence I am at 135# for 12 reps! my PR is 140# back in 2009/2010 Muscle Mission. So I know I am building a good strength base which would indicate a good muscle mass base to me. I am building a Bigger Engine! which is the base of good fat loss which will begin to happen. I am trusting the process!
