Just shake it off and get back on the healthy wagon I say! I just got back from 10 fabulous days in Thailand and whilst I ate lots of fresh fruits etc I also enjoyed a few cocktails and good meals, so time to get back into the clean eating!!

What is the main reason to add to your diet? What are your goals?

Depends on what I am training! If it is legs I just smash it, but I freak out when I increase my weights for chest press (for the fear of being squished)! Then I just make the weights my *kitten* and deal with it... find tunes on the ipod help too, pumped up music....

Firstly awesome progress! What nutrition/exercise plan have you been following? Your body gets used to the way you eat and train and has adapted and not budging.... could be you need to eat MORE!! What intake are you on at the moment? Great job!!
