I am still sticking to the ultra clean diet. I am going to the stoor to buy a ton of chicken, steak and veggies to cook all my meals today. On Sunday I cook for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On Wednesday I cook for Thursday and Friday. I foodsave all my stuff after I cook it. It makes everything so much easier.

Someone told me I looked skinny the other day. Then again the guy is 175 lbs... LOL

I am totally with you on that one. I was dieting for my first show and I was down to 230 and people were calling me skinny

I floundered making my meals last night. I need some more motivation. I looked skinny in the mirror last night too. LOL. Some things never change.

Need more motivation? Post a new pic at the women's board. I'm sure you can get lots of motivation there.....I'll let Sassy know you're coming .

Lets see. It was six degrees out the other day... windy too. I have not gone tanning since September... and this is how I dress during the day on weekends.

No wonder I am not motivated!

My hands are huge!

Aww... c'mon now....we were admiring your abs ... way too much clothing in that pic. But if you smile next time it might make up for it.

Hey, cheer up dude. We are all always harder on ourselves than others are on us and it is easy to focus on one or two things that we'd like to change and not notice that the whole package is coming together nicely.

I have just been real lazy lately. I think the lower carb thing is slowing me down big time.
It will all be worth it this summer though. I have to keep reminding myself that.

 

[ironbabe]

Yeah, and the low carb thing makes muscles look at bit deflated. Remember that when you feel skinny. When you recarb you will see your muscles puff back out. I know you probably know this but hopefully it helps to hear it.

Ketogenic diets always made me feel crappy and a bit depressed, and the lack of energy made me dread my workout which lead to me cheating too often. I'm not against them, they've done alot for me at times, but I don't think I could stick with them for a long time anymore.

I have been rethinking my diet goals and workouts lately. I may actually use a bulking diet next winter. I have never done that before. I don't like to go over 10% bf. I feel like a fat slob and my life starts to fall apart. I think I will try to bulk up with somewhat clean foods say from November through February. Then clean it up and see what I can hold on to.
Who knows. I will probably continue to do everything the same way.

sounds like a plan. It's easy to get bored with a clean diet as it's very hard to maintain it. But I know you can do this Slat,I've got tons of faith in you.

BTW: what kind of seasonings and things do you use to spice your diet up a little????
