Diets?

So people say diets don't work... well if any of you know or have read "My Story" (It's the second tab on my blog), you would know that for the past 15 years I've been on a diet. The picture below is some of the things I started and didn't finish in the past 5 years. I've educated myself and sought what works and doesn't work. What worked for me is making a long term goal with a deadline and bringing all of my knowledge togerther. Once I realized what I wanted the road to my goal was set. Obstacles and distractions have happened but I'm focused on what to do. 

A little time to think...

This past weekend I went to the Fit Expo in LA and had a blast! It's a blessing to know that you can have a common interest with your teen aged son. Just going there encouraged me to get my booty in gear with my own health and fitness. So many inspiring athletes and "Insta-Famous" people, and free samples galore! I'm definitely planning on going in July in San Jose, CA.

As for myself, I joined a challenge on bodybuilding.com a 12 week transformation challenge. Currently I'm in week 3 and still figuring things out. I've been working out at the gym, P90X3 and Focus T25. Sounds like a lot but the real challenge for me has been my eating. I have not been doing good on planning my food. I got my schedule down for my workouts... but my meal prep has been not so good. I hope I can get down the the nitty gritty by tonight.
