I have been struggling with keeping to my training schedule and when that happens, my attempts at eating clean goes to pot. Ok maybe it could be worse hey, I could've been addicted to that POT. Remember I struggled for two weeks with a tummy bug, well last week I managed to get in my weight training workouts but slipped up on my cardio. What makes matters worse is that I didn't stick to my eating plan either. I don't like calling it a diet because most people think out it as a restricting you...
