Starting again!Argh! **New Fat Loss Journal**
Hey all.
After a failed attempt to getting back on track in Feb this year(which only lasted 8 weeks) I'm now doing it again.
I've packed on too many kilo's over the last year or two and am fed up with it.
I've been tinkering with weights for a couple of years now, but have never been happy with my progress as I keep going off track-reasons- to name a few, work;laziness;motivation;knee surgery;back injuries etc etc.
It's always been a goal of mine to compete on stage one day and I'm now starting realise it's now or never. So it almost feels like I have to start at the beginning again.
For now I guess my goal is really to get into some decent shape again like I was in my High School days and take it from there, ideally with a b/f of around 12-15%. I'm guessing I'm currently around the 28% mark and should aim to get to the desired b/f level in about 16-20 weeks. I really just need to get back to a level where my self confidence is optimal, to get a snowball effect going
I was directed to layne Norton's very helpful article back in feb which has given me some good insight, along with some good advice from the guys over in the contest prep threads.
So right now I'm following more of a body for life method of training, due to lack of facilities that my gym has and time. I'm doing the body for life method of cardio at home on my spinner bike, and trying to clean up my current diet, by cutting out the crap, and getting more meals during the day. Hopefully by next week i will be full blast on the diet.
So now the journey begins all over again and I'm sure it's going to be a bumpy ride. I look forward to any advice offered while I post my progress.
Below is my diet that I'll be following which is more of a bodybuilding diet, which I followed for 8 weeks in Feb with good results. I managed to keep my weight the same while adding 1-2 inches to my arms,calves etc(probably due to muscle memory), while still dropping 1-2 inches around my waist. I did have assistance with this diet from a local IFBB pro in case anybody is wondering.

I've also attached a comparison of the progress I made in Feb after 8 weeks on the above diet. I was following a workout recommended by Frank Sepe I read in one of the recent MuscleMags during this period.
So guys and girls lets see how it goes this time and please feel free to comment on anything at all.
