To win a war, you gotta become war.

Ah, the wise words of Sylvester Stallone as Rambo. We gym goers battle it out every day, from fighting off the temptation to eat junk food, to destroying our muscles through our workouts. Like any good General in a war would tell you, one of the best ways to win is to have a great strategy or plan of action! What are some good strategical maneuvers you might ask? Well I'm here to enlighten you on the subject. One of the greatest ways to see results is to track and log everything. Planning your eating regimen, writing up a workout plan, logging your weight through out your progress, taking measurements and body fat percentage, etc.

Here is an example of my day to day eating habits through my "getting back on track" process.

Alright, now that I have the battle front on my eating moving forward I'll have to get my workouts spot on as well. Making sure the fuel (food) I'm feeding my body goes to good use.

Remember this, the battle might be won, but the war is far from over!
